Prayer services to be held at St. Louis gas stations to thank God for lower prices
Associated Press

ST. LOUIS - Two prayer services will be held at St. Louis gas stations to thank God for lower fuel prices and to ask that they continue to drop. Darrell Alexander, Midwest co-chair of the Pray at the Pump movement, says prayer gatherings will be held Monday afternoon and evening at a Mobil station west of downtown St. Louis.

Participants say they plan to buy gas, pray and then sing "We Shall Overcome" with a new verse, "We'll have lower gas prices."

An activist from the Washington D.C. area, Rocky Twyman, started the effort, saying if politicians couldn't lower gas prices, it was time to ask God to intervene.

The group thinks the prayer is helping, saying prices are starting to fall below $4 a gallon.

Come to my house and attend a service called "Pray for a Pump", in which we all pray for me that Mrs. Xmenfan comes home not so tired and a little bit frisky.

Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.

prayers didnt work yesterday, they didnt work 2 weeks ago, they didnt work 2 years ago, chances are its not going to work today

Idiots. They really think that if there were some omnipotent being up there it'd step in to lower the price of oil, but let innocent people die in third world countries from starvation or AIDS? Pfft

it's more likely to help than ruining the Antarctic.

Well, it has to be said that the price of a barrel dropped by $15 or so this week.

C'mon Jeez, keep it up dude
