Gods get the credit but not the blame.
Recently a religious friend asked on Facebook for prayers for an in-law who was in rough shape in the hospital...there was a long line of 'praying, prayers, prayers sent up, praying hands'...you know the deal.
Then he got better and there was all glory to god. Then the prayer warriors were rallied again as he starting running a fever and was in bad shape again...'praying, prayers, prayers sent up, praying hands'.
Then he died...the end. Other than the announcement that he died...crickets.
This was in a matter of days - under a week.
It seemed that when the FB praying slacked off he got sick again and died...seems like a rather fickle god they were praying to. Or, most likely, all that prayer didn't do shit for the guy. But a bunch of good Christians thought they were helping...till he died and they all went away...I didn't even see prayers for his family.
What a load of crap.
