My Prayer For Nepal [View all]

Some people think that praying yields results, so here goes:

Dear God Almighty, creator of Earth in 7 days.
The plate tectonics you devised worked perfectly.
You managed to kill 2,000 people this time.
I pray you don't kill any more.
I pray the ones you only injured get better.
I pray next time that you give us a little warning.
Oh, and was this because of that gay thing or that abortion thing?
Are we praying to the right God?
Can you come down and clear that up for us?
There are so many to chose from, it's hard to tell.
