Hmmm... That's funny - I thought "Lord's Prayer" was a prayer...
There's nothing remotely like a "thank you" in the whole damn thing. Come to think of it - there isn't a "please", either...
Here's the text, if anyone needs their memory refreshed. Have your rosary beads ready.
Quote:Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Or in other words - "Hey Dad! Give us some food and don't spaz out."
"The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one." - George Bernard Shaw
