Praying to sell cars is clearly idiotic. Rationale people know that you're supposed to pray for sex. Or winning lotto numbers. Or that your knobrot of a neighbour will be devoured (alive) by syphilitic baboons. You know, sensible stuff to ask God for.

Amen !!!
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

No matter what happens with the car salesman, they should be thanking god at all times. Practically everyone only thanks him when things go right, and prays for things to get better, as things go wrong. If it's god's will that he loses his job, then they should be thanking god that he lost his job, because it's his will. His will is the greatest thing ever, in their opinion. So, if you're child gets ran over by a bus, don't forget to thank god, because he knows what's best for you.
