I didn't like Talladega Nights the first time I saw it and didn't care for it this time.
Doesn't matter to me what a man prays in front of a crowd. Personally I'd be a but more sober in my reflection.

I hate to be a party pooper, but it made me sick. I'm with Abcgrad. God is not to be spoken to or of in that manner. Nobody fears God anymore.

You're no party pooper here Amy. Instead you are on the right track. -
Sacrilegious, for sure. I would be afraid to do something like that.
I know a pastor who got upset with a deacon because the deacon had told someone (regarding a matter during a service) to "just slip out during one of the prayers so no one notices you". The pastor told me he was upset that the deacon did this because he said that, during a prayer, the one doing the praying is talking to God.....the Creator of the Universe. It should be a holy moment. Why in the world would we think that would be the right time to "slip out" of church?
I agreed with that pastor. Prayers should be serious and not just something done as a formality at a ballgame, car race, or even because it appears next in the church bulletin. When it becomes routine (or as in this NASCAR event, entertainment) it is no longer a prayer. -
Who is the offended party here: God or us?

I know that if this were my pastor who had taken such pains to make himself a friend of the world, there would be issues.
He's sure to get reinvited to offer the...um...prayer again. This is the only prayer I've ever heard that made me wonder if he got a product placement fee.
And as for the smokin' hot wife comment, there's not a day that passes that I don't thank God for my wife. She is a blessing in more ways than I can cont and in more ways than I probably realize, and while I think of her in those terms, I'm propriatary about it. I don't want anyone else to think about her in those terms. -

It was the prayer of Ricky Bobby! :laugh:
This prayer was obviously thick in colloquialism and cultural phenomena, employing metaphoric language that was sure to be understood by his audience, and unfortunately misunderstood by all Pharisees and some well meaning Christians watching from the outside. -

We Are Both in One Spirit....
:laugh:
I think you and I are very much in agreement on everything we've discussed on spiritual issues. We are merely separated by the bridge located on Semantic Street :thumbs:
Shalom,
Pastor Paul :type: -
I would not in good conscience be able to sit under the teaching of a pastor who counts my Lord's name so common.
I wonder what those in his church are thinking about this. -

folks this was a spoof (albeit poor) on the Talladega Nights movie. nothing more.....the guy was trying to mimic the Rickey Bobby character. If you saw the movie you know how sophomoric it is

Someone posted earlier---whether God got a good laugh out of the prayer
More along the lines of John 11:35----I would say!!!!!!!!!!!!:tear::tear::tear:
I seriously doubt if (1) the same preacher will be called upon to pray at the next Southern Baptist Convention meeting----nor (2) will I wait on him to offer an apology on the same news networks he was recorded on --- nor will(3) I ask him to come preach revival for me here in Alabama -
"cultural phenomena" Then pray to the culture and not to God
"metaphoric language" A claim made by the rebellous and liberal sects to justify their rebellion. -
