It only applies if the entire post -- every single letter -- is capitalized, though.

Or maybe not. I very much enjoy quoting this study to religious people who exhort me to pray to their god: Study of the Therapeutic Effects of Intercessory Prayer (STEP) in cardiac bypass patients. It turns out that cardiac patients who knew they were being prayed for had a slightly higher risk of complications than those who were not (they were told they may or may not be the focus of prayer, but were not prayed for). According to this study, not only is prayer useless, it may even be harmful!
I can only imagine how prayer would affect the headset on my vintage 1980s Bianchi Campione d'Italia, which always manages to work itself loose over a couple of rides. I'm guessing five "Our Fathers" and "Hail Marys" would be a serious crash risk!

I wonder if this is a new way for the Mormon's to get the word out?

Great Idea. I setup a bike repair stand outside my church's building one day and met all sorts of people in addition to fixing a bunch of their bicycles (all for free). Some I have prayed with and still visit them (or they come by for stuff). My only concern would be that they might be Latter Day Saints (Mormons). There isn't anything wrong with using your bicycle for things such as what was advertised. I admire the creativity.

God sucks. Smells, too. The Christian one, I mean. He's a violent, bloodthirsty jerkwad. But Shango, now there's a god you can admire!

Ok but who is Prayer? Or is it MR. Prayer??? Some type of bike mechanic? Why would I need my bike to be turned around? Wouldn't that be a bit silly? How the hell would I steer looking at the rear wheel??? Also that would be awfully uncomfortable in my pants.... And how stupid would I be, if I knew I was riding in the wrong direction why would I continue?
And what the heck does this have to do with Jesus the baseball player from the dominican republic that wears a dress and is touching a kid while at bat? Didn't Michael Jackson got into trouble with the law for something similar?

I see you are sharing your opinion. I'm going to share mine as well. Your comment sucks, smells and is meant to incite violence. What are you...a bloodthirsty jerkwad?
Lastly, I doubt your shango can stand up to any intellectual scrutiny!
