LONDON (Reuters) - Police in eastern England are looking to God to help them catch vandals and burglars.Phew! That ought solve everything. Why didn't anyone think of this before? I mean if you've got God on your side....
The Lincolnshire branch of the Christian Police Association is setting up a "Prayer Watch" scheme to alert Christians to local crimes.Oh lord...
As well as encouraging worshippers to keep an eye out on their churches and each other, the police said the scheme would allow Christians to use prayer to help catch criminals.Ooh you are so big..
"It's largely geared to protecting congregations and church properties which are pretty vulnerable places, but with the added bolt-on aspect of prayer," a Lincolnshire police spokesman told Reuters Wednesday.So absolutely huge...
Retired London policeman Don Axcell, the national executive director of the Christian Police Association, said God did answer crime-busting prayers.Gosh, we're really impressed down here I can tell you....
Can you help us catch that bloke who defaced the church pews?
"I'm a great believer in the power of prayer and all I'd say to the skeptics is that I've seen it work too many times for it to be a coincidence," he told the Lincolnshire Echo newspaper.Ha! That showed them Godless heathens!

If they can pray to catch the criminals why don't they just save everybody all the trouble and form a crime-prevention prayer group. This way nothing gets stolen in the first place and we don't need to pay for such enterprising policemen.
Very amusing! I do like this one here as well, from the BBC website a couple of months ago.

Idiots! What is wrong with this world....have we abdicated all responsibility for being rational human beings?

Very true Michael, as everyone knows, prevention is better than a cure.
I remember reading that one too Mr Tickle, I thought it was rather amusing at the time.
And yay and yay. What a bunch of muppets!
Not to mention poverty and disease and all them other trifling problems....
You might have a point.
Those who engage in prayer remind me of those that gamble. Gamblers always tell you when they had a big victory, but not when they lose, which they do consistently. So why aren't most gamblers rich? Those who pray remember when it works. If you pray 100 times chance suggests that you will occasionally "be successful".
Total delusion.
sounds to me like the police are tired of trying and are like..hey here's an idea..why don't we make God do all the work. sweet. It think I will pray to God will do my job. Let's see if it works.
