For about two years I have been including imprecatory prayers in our church services and Bible studies at Holy Grounds Coffee House. Imprecatory prayers are Old Testament prayers for the defeat and destruction of the enemies of God and his people. A New Testament variation on these prayers is to ask God to save the people but destroy the institutions. Our prayers, part of our seven year campaign to re-Christianize the City of Springfield, have included an appeal to God to destroy the works of Satan in this city. We have specifically included the strip clubs in these prayers.
Yesterday the three story Scores strip club on Worthington Street was completely obliterated in a gas explosion, right down to the ground.
I believe this was the hand of God at work in answer to our prayers.

Always good to see that God's got his priorities right. A strip club? Boom! and it's gone. Children starving? Oh, who gives a shit?
BTW apparently it was Ahriman that influenced the building of the strip club. I do wish that fundies would give credit to the real adversary prototype rather than the unoriginal Satan of Judaism and Christianity.
Should't you rather be praying nobody was hurt? Fuck, I am and I've got nothing to pray to you horrible excuse for a human being. Well, praying in a figurative sense, but you get the idea.
May hot coffee find it's way into the laps of every single patron of your coffee house.
So the 42 other building destroyed and the over 20 people injured by the gas explosion serve as an example of what an incompetent god you worship?
If the US military were to cause that much damage while trying to eradicate a specific target, there would be an incredible amount of scrutiny and possibly even a congressional hearing as to why fallible humans managed to cause so much collateral, non-military damage, yet your supposed perfect god gets a free ride when it does the same thing?
Scott, you're a douche.
Holy Grounds Coffee House! You're kidding, right? But just in case, i am going to start including imprecatory prayers for the destruction of Churches named after coffee houses when I go to church tomorrow.
When a gas explosion levels a house, or grocery store, or toll booth, or or or or... it's an accident, but a strip club? then it's the hand of God.
Bible God's not having much accuracy with hurricanes so He's trying gas explosions instead.
You'll find that Bible God, being a natural arsehole, more readily responds to the imprecatory prayers of fellow arseholes, in a deluded jerk's dreams that is.
I can quite believe that Scott Lively believes that others misfortune and suffering is the result of him babbling at the ceiling. An obvious psychopathic twit.
Yeah, just keep praying. While you're at it, you might want to ask your god why it's taking him so long to destroy all the other strip clubs.
Jeez, I really hate when coincidences like this reinforce the beliefs of the deluded Christians that talking to their imaginary friend actually causes things to happen. But I guess as long as it keeps them busy and not actually burning places down or blowing them up.
two years of prayer and only one strip club by a gas explosion ? thats sad
where is the rain of hellfire ? why woulld God use brimstone and sulpher anyway ? Surely it should be the white hot fire of purity and truth.
Tell me Scott, do ytou have a lightning rod in your Church?
Shameful lack of faith, that.
Lively is a well-known extremist nutjob.
Seriously, if heaven is full of people like Scott Lively, I'll prefer to take my chances in hell.
Well that settles it clearly. There are a million prayers that are not answered but you see one occurence that could easily be just a coincidence and you see god.
Scott, you are a complete tool.
@Old Viking
God loves strip clubs or there wouldn't be so many of them.
His Noodliness must be God for this very reason. RAmen!
May Scott here have an afterlife filled with stale beer and strippers with STDs.
@Dr.Shrinker
So who prays to god for all those tornadoes that run through the bible belt?
Oops, I'm afraid that would be me. Sorry folks, no harm intended.
I only prayed for that once, and that was decades ago. I guess I must be in better standing with the Almighty than Scott.
One little prayer and sooo much damage. God does have strange priorities, doesn't he?
Coincidence, or arson. No divine intervention needed or present.
You, sir, are an idiot and a complete sack of doggy doo.
*rotflmao* OMG! I have to clean up my coffee spill.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
