"Dude, I prayed for you in public, and all I'm getting is a lousy 15% off?"Just for the record - Jesus said that we should NOT pray in public - but in private.
The text, from the NIV, for Matt 6:5:
Quote:5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
He surely implies that he doesn't like folks praying in public, and says so directly in subsequent verses.
But humor uses the tools at hand, and there you go.
