Prayers for Brexit? Oh My God (yes I'm being ironic)!

Liverpool's Anglican cathedral has set aside special prayer areas so people can pray for anything to do with Brexit. I know I'm preaching to the converted here when I say all prayer is rubbish (I have a stronger word in mind). But even if you believe in all that crap, if Brexit is the thing you want god's help for when there's so much really awful stuff going on not just around the world but around here then I think you have a BIG problem and you need help with that.

Just wanted a bit of a rant and get that off my chest. Done it.

A common thread. No evidence of anything good coming from Prayer, Religion or Brexit.

Dear ole Catholics, they love the theatre and drama. You can understand why Oliver Cromwell got a bit agitated by them!

For people who can't be arsed to do anything but like to tell people they have done more than the average person

Given for the sake or argument that there is a god how can he be both a remoaner and brexshiteer, is that a perk of being a trinity? The father is in, the son is for out, and the holy ghost could not give a shit?

So if their Christian god listens and acts on prayers based on being the omnibeing that knows everything bla, bla. Then I wonder which prayer it will choose from its faithful as winner of the + factor?

I wonder if there will be a special place set aside for the faithful to curse their god when Brexit goes awry, as seems ever more likely!

More idiocy from the religious! Oh yes...let’s pray because the politicians are complete arses, lets pray that god will strike them all with wisdom and statesmanship, that should work!! Even I would be converted if I saw the power of prayer do that magic trick!

Prayer is historically the most sanctimonious way of doing fuck all and still feeling justified in patting yourself on the back for it.

That's a lot to ask for Marionville. Our present bunch would not know what to do with wisdom.

@Red_Cat probably not.

Posted by webspider555I’m beginning to wonder whether our government is just incompetent or are all these things happening just to get us in a rage arguing amongst ourselves.
