Not good enough. Now that God is on Facebook(*), the only effective prayers are those shared on Facebook walls.

P.S. I noticed that “God” is classified as a “Community” which definitely has some interesting theological implications ….

@AthenaC What ever happened to the good old days where you only had to forward this stuff to 10 people and they were cursed to never love again if they didn’t do the same?
I’m ok spamming people I don’t like to avoid being murdered by that girl from the ring. I’m not ok spamming everyone else. I guess I’m just selfish.

I don’t ever get “I know which ones of you won’t post this” part. I won’t. If you already know, why bother the 98% and not just message 2% “will-post”-ers directly? Then they forward this to 2% of their friends, until this quietly dies.

Most of their Facebook friends probably won’t happen to have been on in that hour and seen it! And what is the meaning of life anyway? And why do people sit in the Quiet Zone on trains and then talk loudly on their phones? And puppies and kittens.
