"Bob, I'd just like to thank the Good Lord Jesus Christ for His love...

[Zenlitened]

... and for bringing me here today," said the contestant on The Price Is Right, as he spun the big wheel. As the wheel came to a stop on 90 cents, he leaped into the air, shouting "Thank you!"

:shudder:

Unusual priorities, this god of his has.

[Theres-a]

1. Reminds me of

"This week in God" on the Daily Show.Hilarious.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

21. "This Week in God" is one funny mofo.

:rofl:

;)

[TAPat]

2. I am sooo glad I didn't see that! nt

[BOSSHOG]

3. Shortly after Katrina

all along the gulf coast, locals were saying how lucky we were and thanking God.

[tularetom]

4. Bwahahahahahahahaha

You made that up didn't you. Nooooobody could be that fuckin stupid. It sure lowers my opinion of God that he has nothing better to do than sit on his ass and watch The Price is Right. Why isn't he listening to "The Radio Factor"?

[LaurenG]

5. This is so painful to read

why would anyone care who he was thanking. What does his saying that have to do with us?

You may feel you know better who to thank or not, but so does he. This is exactly the type of intolerance that keeps the world so messed up.

:shrug: :cry:

[Zenlitened]

6. It was painful to hear, too. Why do I care? Because I'm frightened...

... by these people. I honestly am.

[msongs]

7. c,mon, god kept brokeback mtn from winning best picture -

a message to all those hollywood liberals like arnold and mel: keep your movies clean and wholesome like...Crash hehe

8. That is fair enough

I do understand that feeling and I appreciate your honesty.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

9. You have to live around fundies to really understand

that they say some of that stuff without thinking about it. It just comes out.

[Zenlitened]

12. I think it goes deeper than that. I think some people really are able

... to believe in a god who wants them to win The Price Is Right, yet doesn't lift a finger to help the millions and millions of human beings suffering across the globe at any given moment.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

13. Well, there are a lot of stupid people out there

but sometimes I pray for the Seminoles to win. So I can't criticize too much.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

10. How come it doesn't work for me when I pray over my lottery tickets?

[arwalden]

11. You're Not Praying Hard Enough... Apparently.

:shrug: Did you remember to say "please"?

[raccoon]

15. Maybe it's because you p.o.'d God in some way.

Or maybe God doesn't like you as much as he did whoever did win the lottery. :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

I believe prayer changes US, our thinking and our attitudes. I don't believe it changes outward circumstances at all.

[davidinalameda]

19. I know

reminds me of that Janis Joplin song

[WritingIsMyReligion]

22. becuz ur a librul, TG!

:sarcasm:

:D :D :hi:

[varkam]

14. Most athletes thank God for...

a win whenever it was a big game. But I've never heard any athlete curse God for making them fumble. What gives?

[hunter]

16. If it's good God did it, if it's bad the devil did it.

Don't you know anything?

God Bless America!

:eyes:

[Goblinmonger]

17. God must have had a real hard on

for the other person spinning. Probably a Muslim.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

23. LOL

:spray:

[Dervill Crow]

18. I thanked the Goddess for a parking space today.

I said it right out loud. I was really happy to get to work on time, and that isn't nearly as big a deal as getting to "come on down" on the Price is Right.

Just from reading about it, I have to assume that he is sincere if he blurts out something that dumb on national TV. He probably thinks he's sowing seeds and saving souls or something, which in his mind is a good thing. Evangelical Christians don't bother me unless they're trying to pass legislation to make everyone comply with their views.

[Brilligator]

20. And yet...

...the freepers pray every day for the protection of the troops in Iraq and they still keep getting killed.

Unusual priorities indeed.

24. Welcome to DU!
