When you hear something so stupid.

So I wake up two days ago and I flick on the TV., just wanted to see what was on the local news, maybe the weather to find out when this heat wave will end. At any rate I am watching this news program that is all about the 'war' in Iraq and how the Taliban is setting all these scary things in motion. Then it shifts to the threat of Iran and Syria and talks about Iranian money being sent to Iraq to fund terrorists. It was a real scare piece, one of those things that is supposed to just intimidate you and fill you with fear. The news clip ended and they send it back to the studio. So who do they show next, just sitting at the studio desk? Not some washed up corporate anchorman that we all are so used to seeing. The person at the desk is none other than Pat Robertson, This scare piece was bing played on the 700 Club. I am never shy about saying what an asshole I think Mr. Robertson is but I have never really sat through an entire episode of the 700 Club so, I figured I would give it a shot. As Pat and his co-host sat and discussed the lawlessness and moral decay of the Mid-East, the woman said one of the stupidest comments I have ever heard in my life. It was in reference to the 'war' and it went like this. "Well at least one good thing came out of this...we have one more reason to pray". One more reason to pray is a good thing? i thought you were supposed to pray to show God that you have faith in him, not to yak on and on every time some world situation makes you uncomfortable. My gas bill is too high, time to pray. My wife is having sex with my brother, time to pray. I am out of Frosted Flakes and I can't get the toothpaste out of the tube... I'll have to pray for that and of course, there is that pesky 'war' in the Mid-east. i hate people that pray for everything, if you believe in God, don't you ever think that maybe he has got stuff to do and can't be bothered every time a small inconvenience pops up in your life? Is that not why we have this 'free will' thing I have been hearing so much about? Any way that was the stupid thing I heard and I just wanted to tell you all about it. Why should I be the only one pissed off about that comment. It was immediately after that stupid thing was said that I decided to turn off the TV and never attempt to watch the 700 Club again.
