I'd like to stop paying for insurance and just start a prayer chain to protect me...
Since god answers prayers, that should work... right?

I actually attended a church several years ago that taught that it was against God's word to have insurance.
The pastor said that our lives and property were in God's hands and that for us to have insurance was like telling God we could do it all ourselves. (truth IS stranger than fiction)
He actually came to our home and chastised us for having insurance one time.
To the guy who said render to Caesar what is Caesar's.. that was about TAXES not insurance.

It should, indeed, and you don't even need a chain. If you believe what the Bible says (and I don't, but just for the sake of argument), Jesus said that it would only take two or more people gathered in his name for a prayer to be answered. Any prayer. Two people. I checked, and I see no fine print there.
Religion is nothing but an insurance scam anyway. Insurance against what happens *after* death - what a racket! I'd like to say that a lot of policy-holders are in for a rude awakening, but unfortunately, they'll never know how much time, money, and effort they wasted while alive.

It should.
Also they lock the cars, I'm not sure why people act so insecurely if they know that there's Omni-potent being watching them.
I also remember an incident where an Olympic athelete was praying to god before taking stance for 100 mt running race.
Now they can ban a player for using "drugs", but why don't they ban a player for asking help to an omnipotent god?

I would think ALL car insurance is "faith based", wouldn't you?

You can only get faith based insurance through George Bush.

Makes sense, but think of all those little lizards standing in the unemployment line.

Isn't that what Carrie Underwood's song "Jesus Take the Wheel" is an advertisement for?

Yeah thats a really good idea that is obviously going to work. I need to find some "Faith" based car insurance, then my car will be invincible and i can use it to crush Heathens and Atheists.

So I should stop sending money to the talking gecko?
[Edit] I see I have a thumbs-down. Sorry, gecko: Your next check's on its way. I didn't realize you hung out here.
