Just wait until the religious idiots read this stuff – they will immediately call their representative in congress to get NASAs funding withdrawn.

Parodies are fun, but they can also be straw man arguments. This one certainly is. Do you guys really think that Christians believe Heaven is locally “up?”

I believe God hears all prayers. And, as whoever said, sometimes the answer is “No.” A prayer isn’t a magic spell. It’s a request that can be turned down. The greatest petitioner of all, Jesus Christ, prayed to his father in the garden of Gethsemane that he might not have to be crucified, and he did not get what he wanted.

@ Angel, or you could go to a site that allows anonymous searching. Oh, they’re probably blocked too… LOL

That’s why when I pray, I also send a cc. That way the odds are that at least one copy will get through. I used to send a bcc, but then I got worried God might not know who it was from.
@ Angel: Here’s a wacky idea: Reserve your computer at work for, like, doing actual work, and visit The Onion when you get home.
I guess now we know why the FAA neglected to inspect all those Southwest planes.

I tried to post a link to a pic of a “Prayer Amplifier” (tin foil hat) but it went weird. Anyway, another good religious parody site is the Witenburg Door. It’s actually a Christian site that lambastes the whackos out there. They contributed to the “This Week in God” segments of the Daily Show a few years ago.

Another good site for religious parody is The Wittenburg Door. That is run by Christians but is totally lambasting the freak jobs of religion. They contributed the This Week In God segments on the Daily Show several years ago.

Oh, and I think I found your “Prayer Amplifier”:
