Body by God.

Okay, I am always in the mood for some insane religious movement to come into the public eye, if, for any other reason, to see how many people follow it into that big, blind alley that so many travel down in their lives. So, when I saw a commercial for a "get thin through the power of prayer", weight loss scheme, I got giddy as a priest at a little league game who had a huge bag of caramel corn in his brand new conversion van. These people actually tell you that, if you believe in god and pray really extra hard, that you will lose weight. By shunning the biblical deadly sins of gluttony, greed and sloth and, giving into the biblical sin of vanity, you can really lose weight. The best part is that whole ideal that everyone is equal in Gods eyes. So how does he know your fat? Unless, you were created in his image and God likes a Twinkie sundae now and then, in which case, you would be insulting him, which is frowned by many of the religionostra ( I just coined another new word, also I will coin the word, religionatti. Bow before my mighty word power mortals!) What is wrong with these people? Losing weight through prayer? Wow, if their God is so shallow that he will answer those anti-fat prayers but not any of those, kids starving in the street prayers, I have a feeling that getting thin is just the tip of the prayer market. Just think of all the spin-offs you could get rollin' if God is getting these people thin. Maybe a breast enhancing communion wafer, a book of prayers that target your abs, we could call it "30 Prayer Abs". Is your penis too small? Give God a call. Try our toll free prayer line and find out how. Maybe you are ugly, or too short, well, faith can move mountains, so it makes sense that faith can do plastic surgery and bone augmentation too. You know, it never ceases to amaze me, the lengths that human beings will go to, simply to justify their week willed, stupidity. Out of all this, I have but one nagging thought, "How do these people feel about devils food cake"?
