Prayer works, right? Kentucky Republican Governor Matt Bevin certainly thinks so.

CBS reported that at a community meeting, Bevin encouraged people to form “prayer groups” and walk through high-crime areas. “Go around the block, pause on each corner, pray for the people there, move to the next corner,” he said.

Don’t worry, he provided details.

Bevin urged volunteers to make teams ranging from three to ten people to walk the same block, at the same time of day, two or three times a week, and hoped people would make a yearlong commitment.

Police investigated 118 homicides last year, but the current year’s murder rate is on track surpass that number.

2. Make sure to cover ALL the gods...Zeus, Thor, Apollo, Allah, Jehovah, Yaweh, Jeebus, Buddha, etc...

Don't want to be praying to the wrong god or you may not get your desired result...
(why people abide this in the 21st century is stunning...)

9. The bottom of the barrel has risen to the top....

These lunatics are fine when they are in control of themselves....most of the time. Putting these idiots in places of power over others is just tragic.

And our racist groups are afraid of Sharia Law?

15. One hand fapping is better than two hands praying

pretty sure masturbation is clinically proven more effective than prayer

16. My heart goes out to folks in red states who have to live with these crazies.

In a position of political power, sworn to protect citizens of his state, he comes out with complete and utter nonsense. Not unlike what we're dealing with as a nation. It's depressing.
