Pray for a Lottery win and don't play
Published by NiteMayr on November 5, 2008In the Pat Robertson Prayer Challenge I asserted that Pat could not lose when he compels his flock to pray for something. All over the web; Christians took to the Deitic Airwaves to call for God to come down and press the lever on their behalf.
And So on…
Now, the Pat Robertson’s of the world can say, “Well, God answered the prayers of those who Prayed FOR Obama to Win.” or “Now we sit back and wait for God’s Punishment” whatever.
Those who truly believe in Prayer will never see it’s failure as an indictment against it; only that they didn’t pray correctly or that they didn’t do it hard enough. The first Murder in the Bible was in part Inspired by this same fervor, Caine could not make an offering to God that he felt was “good enough” and so he sacrificed his brother. Rather than take the advice of their own “book” the Fundamentalist overlooks the obvious lesson and just takes the punishment.
It’s this continued avoidance of learning and understanding that makes a Fundamentalist who they are and allows Cynics like Mr. Robertson to prey on them again and again.
