Does anyone here pray?

[awatt]

If you do, please pray that Wilco will be somewhere in the Southeast at the end of October, when I'll be back in Atlanta for a few days (or NYC on or near 10/25). I don't care if it's Jesus, Allah, the Almighty--whatever. It it does turn out, I promise I'll consider believing!!

 

I'll buy anyone a beer who has a direct line and can work this out!

 

 

To live without a savior

Answer to his name

Shouldn't be afraid

Shouldn't be ashamed

Does anyone here pray?

 

Nope. It never works unless you get off your ass and work towards the goal yourself.

 

As far as Wilco making it to your desired location, I highly doubt that 1) it'll happen or 2) praying or getting off your ass will help.

 

In a situation like that, I guess "prayer" is just as helping as "hoping" then. I'll be hoping they decide to announce a date in the Southeast for your sake though.

[embiggen]

that's too greedy a reason to pray.

[Lazy Locomotive]

I pray. And my prayers are not "hope." Nothing wrong with believing in God folks.

[Fritz]

Sure, I pray.

[cryptique]

We got to pray, just to make it today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(But I don't, personally.)

[mountain bed]

Hmmmm.....it's been said that there's no such thing as an athiest on their deathbed.

It's also been said you can get through a day w/o sex or drugs,but you can't get through a day w/o rationalization So I dunno...

 

All that nonsense being said,I hope a show works out for ya man

[awatt]

They also say there are no atheists in foxholes, but I read some where that military atheists have objected to crosses in military cemeteries....but that's another thread.

 

[wheelco]

that's too greedy a reason to pray.

no lie, when the big one was coming last year some people my folks were acquainted with (and not proudly I might add) on the coast of Alabama had a prayer session that God would have K strike elsewhere

 

guess it worked

[delmarkurt]

No.

[viatroy]

It it does turn out, I promise I'll consider believing!!

and you're a professor of religion, yes? The only rational way to go is agnostic in my book, because nobody actually knows the answer to THE question.

 

Oh my name it is nothin'

My age it means less

The country I come from

Is called the Midwest

I's taught and brought up there

The laws to abide

And that land that I live in

Has God on its side.

 

Oh the history books tell it

They tell it so well

The cavalries charged

The Indians fell

The cavalries charged

The Indians died

Oh the country was young

With God on its side.

 

Oh the Spanish-American

War had its day

And the Civil War too

Was soon laid away

And the names of the heroes

I's made to memorize

With guns in their hands

And God on their side.

 

Oh the First World War, boys

It closed out its fate

The reason for fighting

I never got straight

But I learned to accept it

Accept it with pride

For you don't count the dead

When God's on your side.

 

When the Second World War

Came to an end

We forgave the Germans

And we were friends

Though they murdered six million

In the ovens they fried

The Germans now too

Have God on their side.

 

I've learned to hate Russians

All through my whole life

If another war starts

It's them we must fight

To hate them and fear them

To run and to hide

And accept it all bravely

With God on my side.

 

But now we got weapons

Of the chemical dust

If fire them we're forced to

Then fire them we must

One push of the button

And a shot the world wide

And you never ask questions

When God's on your side.

 

In a many dark hour

I've been thinkin' about this

That Jesus Christ

Was betrayed by a kiss

But I can't think for you

You'll have to decide

Whether Judas Iscariot

Had God on his side.

 

So now as I'm leavin'

I'm weary as Hell

The confusion I'm feelin'

Ain't no tongue can tell

The words fill my head

And fall to the floor

If God's on our side

He'll stop the next war.
