[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's like that old joke. There's a flood. Man is told to evacuate. He refuses, telling the authorities, "I'll be all right -- God will provide."

The waters rise so he goes to the second floor. Sheriff comes by with a boat and tells him to get in it. Man refuses. "I'll be all right -- God will provide."

Waters get higher. He's on the roof. Helicopter comes and drops down a ladder. He refuses to climb. "I'll be all right -- God will provide!"

Waters go higher still. He drowns. He's at the Pearl Gates when he meets St. Peter. He's confused. "All my life I was told to put my faith in God, and I did, and I died in the flood," the man said. "I don't understand."

Peter shook his head. "We sent a car, a boat, and a helicopter. What else were you expecting us to do?"[/quote]

Funny! It does illustrate how if good things happen, of course "God" takes the credit. If bad things happen, hey, you know, prayer's not an ATM!

God reminds me a bit of the scam Jack Abramoff and Ralph Reed were running a few years ago. They'd take millions in lobbying dollars from various Indian tribes around the country. And if favorable legislation passed, it was evidence of their incredible persuasiveness and leverage w/ GOP lawmakers. If unfavorable legislation passed? Well, don't you know, you need to give them more money!
