Former nun hits the jackpot....

[taoist]

NEW YORK (Reuters) -- A former nun's prayers were answered last weekend when she won $1.5 million on an Atlantic City slot machine.

Catherine Foy, 56, who was once with the Sister Servants of the Holy Heart of Mary, had spent only nine quarters, or $2.25, when the winning bells began ringing at Caesars Atlantic City.

"I always knew the Lord was going to help me pay my bills. I just didn't know that it would be so soon," Foy said in a statement issued by the makers of the slot machine, International Game Technology.

Philadelphia resident Foy has already received the first of 20 annual payments of $78,000, the company said.

The former lady of the cloth, now a social work supervisor for the city of Philadelphia, plans to pay off her bills, make a donation to the nuns and share the money with her family in the United States and in Cuba.

Oh Lord, won't you help me
Please pay my bills?
The thought of this jackpot
Just gives me the chills.
Whatever You've planned
Would surely suffice
But in case You need help,
A cool mil would be nice.

Deuteronomy also forbids eating pork and other "animals of cloven foot". Those are old Jewish laws that Christ ignored example:Saturday being the sabbath.

Oddly enough Deuter 7 is the passage used to justify wars and unethical treatment of prisoners. See link. Sometime sthe bible has scary stuff.....Link to Deuter 7

Everytime I gamble I always talk to god........so why would he not like that?

I say things like" GOD please just let them miss the damn extra point.........I took the under God!"

Or something like this......." GOD if you just let Auburn win this ballgame I promise that I will never do another bad thing!"

And........" GOD Please Kill Rich Gannon at the start of the 3rd quarter he is killing our d-backs over the middle!"


So you see gambling always brought me closer to god!

 

[theGibber1]

gibber. you ready for cfb

i am getting the itch very bad!

cant wait..








heres another religious simpsons quote for ya..

Super Intedent Chomers on Payer in public schools.

"That sounded like a prayer!! A prayer in a public school! I am outraged!
God has no place within these walls! Just like Facts have no place in any organized religion!

So by that margin...gambling increases praying...and actually brings one closer to G-d
