A Question

When you pray for something to be other than it is,

aren't you questioning god's perfect plan?

Aren't you saying god fucked up,

and he shouldn't have done what he did?

Praying

Hey, MAGA - here're a few prayer points that might help you handle your shit.

Dear Lord - help me become the kind of man that a woman would prefer to meet while hiking in the woods instead of a bear.

And Lord - we beseech thee - touch us with the grace we need to see that BLM might have some legitimate points after watching white America fuck over everybody that some jagoff has 'em convinced that "those people" ain't worthy.

Lord God, King of Heaven - grant is the divine insight to realize that rationalizing our propensity for violence is just bullshit planted in our mushy little brains by DumFux News, and sure as fuck has nuthin' to do with your boy Jesus.

We pray these things in the holy names of Jesus, and the Hairy Thunderer, and the Cosmic Muffin, amen.

Nothing Fails Like Prayer - Thank God

Praise Mammon from whom all blessings flow
Praise him, all victims here below
Praise him, Congress - who love him best
Praise money and power - and fuck the rest

Fake Lord Save Us

And then hurricane Irma was turned away and it spun harmlessly into the Gulf of Mexico.

Just kidding, because - well, you know:

• Nothing fails like prayer, or...
• ...these knuckleheads were doing it wrong, or...
• ...your god is just as much a dick as a fast-growing majority of us have suspected for quite a while

Prayers

Remember this one?  

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Yeah - uhm - fuck that.  Try this one instead:

May God bless us with discomfort
At easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships
So that we may live from deep within our hearts.

May God bless us with anger
At injustice, oppression, and exploitation of God's creations
So that we may work for justice, freedom, and peace.

May God bless us with tears
To shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger, and war,
So that we may reach out our hands to comfort them and
To turn their pain into joy.

And may God bless us with just enough foolishness
To believe that we can make a difference in the world,
So that we can do what others claim cannot be done:
To bring justice and kindness to all our children and all our neighbors who are poor.

Amen, muthahfuckah.
