Prayer For Profit

News clip from the latest "News of the Weird":


Quote:








The Power of Prayer: Nelson Thabo Modupe threatened a lawsuit in January against South Africa's Eskom electric utility unless the company paid him the equivalent of about $22.3 million for "saving" the firm that amount during the weeks of the 2010 Soccer World Cup. Modupe reasoned that he had joined the Zion Christian Church just before the event and had prayed ("successfully") to God to spare the utility from blackouts and power reductions during that period (which would have cost Eskom millions more). Modupe, open to negotiation, said he would accept a partnership in the company as a compromise. [Independent Online (Cape Town), 1-24-2014]



This got me to thinking...what a great *********** idea!


For example, I pray that New York City is not hit by any earthquakes this year...which would potentially cost the city billions of dollars if it happened. At the end of the year, bill the city a modest one million dollars or so for the huge savings I've generated for them.



What if an earthquake hits? No problem. If I hadn't been praying, the earthquake would have been much worse, so I've still saved them money. Considering their difficulties, however, I'll only ask for half a million.



It's enough to inspire me to become a Christian again!
