There are religious groups planning prayer vigils in response to the Gulf of Mexico spill because they don’t know prayer doesn’t work.
The Wednesday event will be a sunset vigil that will last about 45 minutes, said Amanda Richardson Bacon, one of the organizers.
She said the Wednesday vigil is also intended as a community meeting and not a protest rally or national activity.
“Everyone is so angry and frustrated and we need to unite instead,” she said. “We’re all tired. We’re all frustrated. This is a chance to just turn it over to someone else for a minute.”
And when nothing happens, will they actually admit prayer is impotent? No. No, it will be God’s plan. I guess God being evil is okay sometimes, right?
