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.
Look, God is too busy controlling the outcomes of Football games to fix your car.
It’s a US presidential election year, God is busy choosing candidates…
No he’s busy deciding which side is paying harder and will finally win that gruesome, bloody war
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.
I mean, jesus was a carpenter, not a mechanic. Maybe try asking him to install some new windows in your house or something.
Something tells me that they didn’t do triple-pane installs into a modern home back in 0AD.
Good point.
Well he didn’t speak of his own Accord, so I guess he’s not a car diety. Try Ganesh instead.
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”
Try praying to Joe Pesci. He gets things done.
Yeah, but it’s his girlfriend Marisa Tomei who knows how to fix cars.
Get it done or he’ll break your legs!
The car has free will and chooses to defy God’s will.
And yes, it’s going to car hell.
He’s only god of the gaps, and there’s no gap for him to fill in our understanding of cars.
I’m listening to Ghost now, friend of Satan 🤘
Are you on the square?
I really was listening to Ghost
Are you on the level?
I get it now. Square Hammer. I’m a bit dense sometimes.
I’m on the circle
Are you ready to swear right here, right now before the devil?
Fun fact: You have to be a Christian to believe in the devil. That means you can only worship the devil if you’re a Christian.
Belial, Behemoth, Beelzebub
Asmodeus, Satanas, Lucifer
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…
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.
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. 💵💰💸
Even God has to wait for the parts from the manufacturer.
It’s the will of god. god is an asshole. Yes, I purposely didn’t capitalize god.
But Zen can fix your motorcycle.
Part delays due to a storm from the hand of god. You must be psychotic.
You keep replying to your own post instead of to individual comments. You gotta figure that shit out.
I tap or long press on someone’s comment and tap reply. I’m not sure how else it should work.
Turns out it’s not all of your comments. When I replied, I was only looking at the bottom where there are a few replies to no one.
I figured it out. For some strange reason when I tap on a comment and tap reply, it doesn’t reply to the comment as one would think. It replies to me instead. I already talk to myself enough.
Nice. Glad you got it sorted out. Seems like a bug in Lemmy to me. It doesn’t make any sense for an inbox button to reply to the post itself.
I should post to assholedesign. Lol. I shall long press forever more. Thanks for your patience.
I asked in Ask Lemmy. Maybe it’s because I sometimes long press on the blue highlight in my inbox?
What does it need? I must know.
