Maybe We Should Just Pray For God To Sit This One Out

OK, now you may laugh at the poor guy who called in to a radio show concerned that in answering his prayers to turn the democrats into dung beetles so they couldn't vote on health care reform God may have missed and taken out senator Inhofe, but this is serious stuff because, well, let's be honest here, god in not known for his aim.

We mean, just look at the facts. Right out of the gate god wipes out the whole planet except for Noah and a bunch of strays because he was mad at a few people in the middle east. Come on, big guy. People in Asia hadn't even heard of you yet and they get flushed too? What's that all about? And then after the deluge you leave the kangaroos to find their own way to Australia? Create the universe in six days and you can't even spend five minutes to give the poor Joeys a miracle or something?

Modern technology doesn't seem to have helped either. In order to get a few homos in New Orleans, god wiped out all of Louisiana and most of Mississippi. Oh, sure you had your mouthpiece give you credit for 9/11 and all, but we're not buying it because the guys who drove those planes into the buildings were muslim fanatics and they didn't believe in you anyway. Besides, everyone knows allah is so good if you ask him he can guide arrows and stuff.

So while allah is out helping folks to eat, what are you doing? Giving us the swine flu, except instead of just giving it to America because we're all sinners and sodomites and commies and whatnot, you give it to the whole world.

You can see why the caller was concerned. One thing christians learn early on is that when god gets his wrath on, no one is safe, but we think this fellow can relax. God has about as much chance of hitting one guy as the Cubs do of winning the pennant.

No there's a miracle we'd like to see.

Update: There is some thought that this may have been an attempt to punk senator Barrasso, but even if that's true, we stand by our analysis because a ruse wouldn't have had a chance of working if there weren't a kernel of truth in it, like the time god almost wiped out Egypt because the Pharaoh wouldn't let the Israelites join a union or something. Hey, Mr. Ruler of the Universe Guy, that was the Pharaoh's doing. It wasn't like Egypt was a democracy and the common folks got to vote on keeping the Jew as slaves. But Nooooo, you have to kill everybody's first born. Heck of a job Yahweh.
