      <![CDATA[Isn’t this the whole purpose of religion?  To provide comfort in times of uncertainty, when people are scared about their future?   These people are potentially going to lose their jobs, and the ability to provide for their family…   Who cares if it makes them feel a little better to pray to God/Jesus.<br />
<br />
Sure, I think the whole thing is a bit crazy, but it’s not hurting anybody for them to pray for it to work out alright for them.  As opposed to many of the other things that organized religion does (see homosexuality, birth control, the role of women) that actually are harmful and that I do get worked up about…

      <![CDATA[@5 Michigan has been in the crapper since 2000.  Michigan was one of the few states in the union had consistent increases in its unemployment rate over the past decade.  Very few decreases.<br />

The image of the SUVs on the pulpit is almost nothing new to anybody who has been in the ghettos of metro Detroit.  Its where even the poorest neighborhoods are filled with gleaming SUVs...that are probably not paid for.
