The words of Jesus ...

"... And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

... And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask of him."

Matthew 6:5-8

Amen

I'll bet you that Pat Robertson has already fled. Probably right after that prayer vigil.

Wow. I don't think anyone can top that one ^^^ for crassness.

Big old dose of hypocrisy right there

Pat Robertson placing a protective shield around hurricane.


Professor shoots himself to protest Trump


WaPo blames Trump for the Hurricane.




All these have me convinced that there are sufficient idiots on both sides. I wonder if Pat and the professor will drag down the IQ of their respective sides.

Didn't he get his wrinkled ass out of town last time despite all the prayers?

Can't stand these hypocrites.

The people who wrote the bible wanted people to believe there was an omnipotent being in order to control the masses. Seems to be working.
