My mom and her prayer warriors have been praying to get my car fixed quickly. My car has been in the shop for a month. Apparently the omniscient omnipresent God of the universe can’t fix a car.

      I took it in to get the rack and pinion replaced. The mechanic screwed it all up and charged me $1,100. He claimed everything with somebody else’s fault. I took it to another mechanic and paid him $518 to fix that. Then the rack and pinion completely failed and now I have to pay another $1300 to get that fixed. And in the meantime the part was delayed because it was coming from Missouri and there was a giant storm.

    Well he didn’t speak of his own Accord, so I guess he’s not a car diety. Try Ganesh instead.

    I mean, jesus was a carpenter, not a mechanic. Maybe try asking him to install some new windows in your house or something.

    I mean if god can’t defeat iron chariots (Judges 1:19) what hope does he have dealing with a way way way more advanced self-propelled steel chariot?

    Common misconception; someone prayed that your car would stay broken first and He’s gotta honor “first come first served”

    The car has free will and chooses to defy God’s will.

    And yes, it’s going to car hell.

    He’s fixing your car in one of his mysterious ways. Had you gotten the car earlier, you would have veered into an orphanage. God still believes in you, even if you don’t believe in him! Etc…

    Counterpoint: He can, but He just won’t.:-P

    Side note: I bet if they really wanted your car fixed quickly, they could… ahem… manage to make it happen. 💵💰💸

    One of my cousins thanked god that she was able to pay her credit card debt. I nearly broke my neck whilst rolling my eyes at her online post.

      🙄

      My mom says god works through people. If I have to do all the work, what do I need god for?

      The cognitive dissonance is strong with these people.
