we all got some laughs out of this story

http://www.examiner.com/atheism-in-phila...the-budget

Quote:Pennsylvania’s capital city of Harrisburg is currently in massive debt. So much debt that some city officials want to filing for bankruptcy. But not to worry the city’s mayor, Linda Thompson has a plan. Her plan is to pray and fast for three days.


Much as Rick Perry praying for rain in April... god apparently told Harrisburg to go fuck itself, too.


http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1011/65770.html

Quote:The city of Harrisburg, Pa., - the state’s capital - has filed for bankruptcy because of massive debt, according to reports.

In one of the largest municipality bankruptcy filings ever, the Harrisburg city council decided to seek Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection due to “overwhelming debt,” the Associated Press reported on Wednesday.

This only shows that democrats can be just as stupid as republicans which was never really in doubt...and that praying to the godboy is no way to solve real problems.

I wonder which scenario is better for her, that god hates her or doesn't exist?

She'll come up with some asshole excuse to salvage her 'faith' in the all-powerful sky-daddy.

That kind of moron always does.

I'm sure the excuse is people didn't pray hard enough.

Does anyone in public ever just laugh their ass off to these people?
Like... you... really... think... praying....does... .something... HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

And just mock them? Does it do anything? Or are people to pussy?

I see people debate O'Reilliey and just cave... why doesn't someone start yelling back at the big idiot.
