"Choir director brings prayers for lower gas prices to SF"
 
"SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A choir director who hopes prayer can bring down high gas prices is trying out his approach at some of the costliest pumps in the country.
 
Rocky Twyman of Washington, D.C., came to San Francisco over the weekend to stage a pray-in at a Chevron station. He is also calling on churchgoers to ask for God's intervention where he says politicians have failed.
 
Gas costing $4 a gallon or more has become common around the San Francisco Bay area.[..]"

Yeah, that's what we need, a National Day of Prayer for Gas Prices...close the schools, put TV cameras at all the gas pumps to watch as our high priest Preznit leads us to greater glory...Exxon-Mobil Hallowed be thy name...
 
Why don't they just pray for more efficient cars...or a cheaper, cleaner alternative fuel source?
 
And, if I were the Omnipotent Creator of the Infinite Universe, I'd be a little pissed that this choir director guy was wasting my time with gas prices. Why isn't he more concerned with war, disease, famine, poverty, global warming, etc.?
 
I hear that the Iraqis pray for higher prices. Looks like their god is more powerful.
 
Pray: to ask that the laws of the universe be annulled in behalf of a single petitioner confessedly unworthy.
