It suits the author's point of view and makes them look stupid, but an author should defend his or her characters. I don’t understand why Jesus and Mo are scoring own-goals like this.

Didn't the video clip show Buddhist monks? Who is to say that God wouldn't have answered the prayers if it was some other group, eh? Or consider this: maybe the prayer actually prevented the post-surgical complications from being worse than they would have been without the prayer!! There really can be no end to "spinning" in such situations. And I guess we should be grateful for that, or how else could Jesus & Mo be so entertaining?

It's the same argument as free will. God KNOWs everything; god CAN do everything, but he just chooses not to intervene. And god totally talked to people 1000 years ago when mental disorders were relatively unknown; he's just said all he has to say now and 'the heavens are closed.' Oh, but he still speaks with a still small voice to the hearts of individuals, but he tells each person something just a little bit different just to fuck with you. Praise God/Allah/Whomever!

What is the best riposte you can think of for the barmaid to use? Truly successful prayers are answered. Only the insane hear the answers. I think Mother Teresa did hear answers, for a little while. She really missed them when they stopped. Magical thinking really can cause misery. OK, folks, caption time. What is the best riposte you can think of for the barmaid to use?
