Pray to who? Satan?

The Minister for Social Protection says people should ‘pray’ that the finances of the country improve.
Eamon O’Cuiv says the next three weeks, due to the government’s budget and four year year recovery plan , are crucial for Ireland’s future.
He says that not everything is in the control of the government and people should pray that things improve:

Fianna Fail are now passing the buck to a non-existent being!

And their voters will obey.

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BAAAAAAaaaaAAAAAAAAAA.

Sheeeeeeep! :mad::mad:

He says that not everything is in the control of the government and people should pray that things improve:

God, cant prevent fires, flood, earthquakes, mine cave ins or child murder, but steps in when needed to sort out economic crises, top guy that Yahweh.

Praying seems like a good idea to me. Let's face it, no-one else seems to have a clue what to do!

fedor.2. · 20-11-2010 03:17PM

It is the last resort of the foolish and unprepared though

RLY? - I suspect that you are following Epicurus' flawed understanding in this

Biggins · 20-11-2010 03:20PM

LOL

Cheese and prayer, yep, that will solve everything. *shakes head side to side in dis-belief*

...And these fools are running a country for fcuks sake!

Elevator · 20-11-2010 03:27PM

I just can't believe he didn't specify which god are we supposed to collectively pray too

also if we pray to the wrong one will we be worse off?

Christ all mighty!!!

what was he thinking being so vague??

Aldebaran · 20-11-2010 03:27PM

That's his solution? A bit of an aul pray? It would be hilarious if things weren't so damn serious.

PeterIanStaker · 20-11-2010 03:29PM

I've said it before in another thread, but I'll reiterate it here: Fianna Fail and Catholicism are both a form of serious mental illness.

MrMatisse · 20-11-2010 03:29PM

The religious nutters will be all over this thread

Crash helmets on people, this thread is going to be around for a while!

Not to mention our new-atheist friends :pac:

The IMF will be impressed with our new economic policy.

Onyl one who comes in here is Jakkass, but I wouldn't describe him as a nutter. It will, however, descend into a "does God exist" debate with one or two equally determined people - most likely Killer Pigeon will be one - and we'll forget what the thread was about in the first place. Remember the "David norris for president" thread?

Quite!! Can we assume that the two Brian's are now attending mass twice a day between discussions with the IMF and ECB?

Yes I can believe it. Think about every time there's a General Election...who do you see collecting at church gates? Politicians.

These cretins are only mentioning prayer now so that when the time comes the church will allow them take up their usual spots outside.

Don't blame the church on this one, blame the politicians.

What makes you think he'll care what you happen to think about:
1) What he thinks about prayer or
2) What he is encouraging prayer for?

Ronin247 · 20-11-2010 03:54PM

I would like you all to close your eyes and reflect for a moment........now in your mind extend your hands and join with the other boards members and let us pray...

Dear Lord we humbly beseech you to take pity on us in this our darkest hour,give our great leaders the courage and wisdom to guide us out of this financial problem caused by satan misguiding the bankers and developers.
Please lord let the IMF protect the pensions and cushy jobs that exist and help the social welfare recipients live on less.....Amen

Did he actually say this ? The audio file isnt working on the website. I'd be amazed if he did.

all I wanted was to get a few choice words off my chest

glad I did all the same

Sarn · 20-11-2010 04:29PM

As mentioned above, did he actually advise people to go out and pray or was it a 'we'd better pray we get out of this alive' throwaway comment?

Tusky · 20-11-2010 05:10PM

The audio file isnt working for me - is it working for yea ? Can anyone confirm what he actually said.

Bit of a masochist perhaps ? :pac:

azzie · 20-11-2010 05:31PM

Yes, he did say that 'prayer is very powerful'. Unbelieveable.

I think it would be better if I **** us into safety. At least I'll produce something tangible.
