How 'bout we vote for God's stimulus plan?? How about that? Instead of placing our trust in Wall street or Obama, how about this nation falling to it's knees in repentance and pleading for God to have mercy and forgive us our sins and just maybe our economy starts to pick up!!!!!

That'll be helpful.
Dumbasses
The scary thing: it would work. If we stopped bailing out the banks which are too dumb to exist and wasting the taxpayers' money, a higher power would help the economy. Okay, not your God but the invisible hand, but that is irrelevant.
Brilliant idea, Daveyboy! Everyone listen to Daveyboy, he's got it all figured out!
(I'll be over here investing in a kneepad manufacturer)
Because your god will not stop everyone from being poor or digging through shitpiles...except the rich.
I mean, perfect example, Europe around 900 to 1400
"Jesus isn't going to keep the heat on this Winter, keep people fed, or keep hard-working people in their homes."
Neither is this stimulus plan. It's for big business and to sneak in socialized healthcare without hearings.
Who says God wants the economy to pick up? Maybe this is just another one of His sadistic little "tests" like He did with Job. Anyway, I'm sure all the religious people who have lost jobs or are about to lose their homes have already prayed. If prayer didn't stop the Plague from killing a third of the population of Europe in the Middle Ages, why would it halt a few people losing their jobs?
FISCAL POLICY DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT!
Now, get off your knees, quit stimulating gawd, and get your sorry ass out there and do something useful. Have a job? Get to work. Don't have a job? Volunteer.
Give a man a fish and he will not be hungry today,
Cant remember who said that but I think its apropreat.
Please ignore my inablity to spell, Please.
So when you don't get a job, how will you stave off foreclosure and homelessness? Prayer, I'm sure. When you're freezing and hungry, how will you alleviate your pain? Prayer. When you're in your last moments from hypothermia and starvation, you'll mumble another prayer and it will never, ever occur to you that you could have lived in comfort by just thinking and working for yourself. Because you're a hopeless idiot.
Well, prayer can't hurt, but I still would like a nice little plan to go along with it.
God helps those that help themselves.
Here, how about you give that a try for a year and get back too us.
TOO many people have no idea how TO use words they should have learned in grade TWO.
Or you can, y'know, actually get up and do something about the economy.
Remember Aesop's fairy tale: The gods help those who first help themselves.
@DAVEYBOY from Rapture Ready: Do you really expect the economy to improve if people stopped working to fix it, and spent their time praying instead? Your Lord Jesus didn't sit around praying all the time, he got on with stuff. Maybe you should let people do likewise.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
