Rocky Twyman says nothing else has worked, so he’s urging motorists to pray for lower gasoline prices when they fuel up.
Twyman says he and his fellow volunteers at a church soup kitchen launched “Pray at the Pump” today at a gas station in Washington D.C.
After fueling up their cars, Twyman says they bowed their heads and asked God for cheaper gas.
There was no immediate answer, but he says other motorists joined in and the service station owner didn’t run them off.
Twyman says that if God brought down the walls of Jericho when the ancient Hebrews prayed, then divine intervention can bring down gas prices too.
Thank god they’ve got their priorities straight.

I felt my first philosophy classes come back to me in a syllogistic rush. Poems on the subject of soap bubbles and prayers for gas prices to come down are equally effective, I expect.
If they were really devoted, they would have done it old school, with animal sacrifices and burnt offerings… at a gas station… and then get all pissy and whiny about how the fact that open flames are frowned upon near gas stations are a sign that Christians are persecuted and Hillary will eat their babies.
What makes me laugh is that they think their God wants them to have lower gas prices. “God will give us lower gas prices so we can continue to waste energy and pollute the beautiful earth he made primarily for humans, the only created beings that damage it so severely!” Pray for brains first please.
Because Jeebus apparently can work wonders on OPEC. Oops, wait, wrong deity!
