And yes, even one penis more than my own is enough for me to say "all the penis".
Meh, just think of it as a really large clitoris.

I, on the other hand, would not mind being homosexual so much. Though it would mean my sexual options are roughly quartered in that case.
Penis is good.

Typically with a scrotum attached beneath and unfortunately typically surrounded by much more hair than is necessary (none).
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Just bullshit, G-C...nothing more.
It's not bull. Non-believers have a very different view of what's being said and why it's being said as evidenced by the original post.

Keep in mind, he's a mechanic who grew up drinking boos and huffing paint fumes ... not a man who's had 40 years of doctrine. His prayer's are going to reflect this.
As for your theory about tainted food ... that's one hell of a leap man. I haven't prayed for my food in 20 years and never once have gotten ill from bad food.
On another point. Do you pray before you eat no matter where or why??
Yes, I'm thankful for what God provides. If you're wondering if I fill embarrassed when praying in public I do not and really see no reason to be.
I wish I could give you double kudos for that! I've gotten a few of those hey-you-should-stop-praying-in-public-so-you-don't-embarrass-yourself comments. In fact, the one time an atheist tried to use Pascals Wager on me was concerning prayer in public. He was talking about Mat.6:5 and I explained he was taking the verse out of context. After a few "I can't believe me,an atheist, has to explain this to you" comments he actually tried telling me "maybe, just maybe to be sure we aren't in conflict with Jesus' teaching we should only pray in private".
My response: "maybe, just maybe to be sure we aren't going to hell we should accept Jesus as Lord and Savior". Obviously, this would be a silly reason to "accept" Jesus as Lord. His next few comments were even more rage filled. He admitted that seeing prayer in public "bothers him". Uh huh. I told him I would continue praying whenever and wherever I felt the need.

To illicit this response from a passer by you must have been really laying it on thick.
Were you shouting? I bet you were shouting.
