Another reason why people pray.
Three preachers went on a fishing trip and while they were out on the water they decided to confess their sins.
First Preacher: My biggest temptation is drink. I just can’t stay away from it. I even keep a bottle in a drawer in the pastor’s study. I need your prayers.
Second Preacher: We’ll pray for you brother. Now my pet sin is lust. My personal time piece is broken on sex o’clock. I’m always thinking about it, even in the pulpit. I sure covet your prayers.
First Preacher: And we will pray for you.
Then there was silence. The first two preachers looked at the third preacher. He looked out at the water.
First Preacher. Come on, Brother Tibbs. We know you’ve got something you’d like to get off your chest. Confession is good for the soul.
Brother Tibbs: Well.
Second Preacher: You don’t have to be shamed among us. We’re all sinners saved by grace. No sin is better or worse than any other in the sight of gawd. Come on man, ‘fess up. ‘Fess up.
Brother Tibbs: Well, my biggest temptation is…gossip. I can’t keep a secret to save my life and I can’t wait to get back to town. I’m gonna have everybody praying for you fellers.

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.
Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
