Farmers suffer drought as God answers little girl's prayer

This is another EAP pieces I posted to alt.atheism in 2005.

EAP. Parkes NSW May 25. It was revealed today that the drought in the central west of New South Wales, a wheat farming area, has occurred because Peggy Lightfoot of the central west town of Parkes had prayed to God asking for lots of fine weather for her outdoor netball team. Peggy lives in High Street of the small town and walks the short distance each Sunday with her family to attend St Georges Anglican church. Peggy is a loving 10 year old child who loves her sport and wanted a fine season for practice and playing for herself and her team mates.

According to Peggy she decided to try her friend in the sky for help. Peggy explained that when she and her family lived in Russell Street she found it creepy because the cemetery is close by. There was even a funeral director living next door. But in late October 2003 the family put the property at number 8 on the market and moved up to High Street. God had answered her prayer on that occasion and Peg decided it would not hurt to try him again. It has now been learnt that the almighty had planned a bumper crop for this year and plentiful rain until he was touched by the faithful call for help from devote little girl. Apparently Peggy had quoted the "ask and you shall receive" verse in her prayer and according to the fine print found in the almighty's biography this has to be answered. So now the farmers of the central west have to grin and bear it as fields turn to dust and sowing opportunities blow away. The Lachlan River at nearby Forbes is a sequence of water holes.

Peggy has been asked by town's folks if she was concerned about the plight of the farmers will hurt the town and her reply has been her father works at the North Parkes gold mine outside of town and her mother is a nurse at the hospital so her parents will be OK. Peggy says the whole country has benefited by an abnormally warm autumn. Everybody is talking about the fine weather and Peggy reminds everyone that it is thanks to God.

EAP: Charon the ferryman loses his job in the Underworld

EAP: 27 Dec 2022; This year ending soon of 2022 will go down as a terrible year so many people will like to forget and following the covid years of 2020 and 2021. Inflation, war, rising fuel prices and empty supermarket selves, On top of that comes the stockmarket crash and fraud and scams starting with the "Crocodile of Wall Street" AKA Razzle Khan through to FTX and Sam Bankman Fried.  One bright spot of good news comes from the other side. The families of their dear departed ones will no longer have to tape a coin to their foreheads to pay the ferryman, Charon, to cross the River Stix. Opening up on the first of January 2023 is a replacement cable stay bridge to allow the deceased to cross the River Stix without the need of the old ferryman.  It has been a couple of tough years for the old ferryman, catching covid numerous times from infected coins, resulting in a number of back logs as thousands of the dear departed had to wait for their ferryman to recover before finishi...

144,000 Jewish Male Virgins Shocked and Horrified at Their Role

144,000 Jewish Male Virgins Shocked and Horrified at Their Role EAP: Aharon Asher had embarked on the epic project of finding and identifying the 144,000 members of the Jewish Male Virgin club. After 10 years of scrolling as many public records and genealogical databases as he and his research staff could, he finally had what he believed was the complete list. The 144,000 are divided up between the 12 tribes of Israel, with 12,000 from each tribe as expected. The ranged in age from 16 years to 106 years. After years of negotiation a convention of the golden 144,000 was organised at Istanbul Park in Istanbul, Turkey, a large venue used to host car races and one of the few venues anywhere in the world large enough to host such an event. All accommodation within a few miles was booked en mass in preparation for the event. Entire plane loads of Jewish male virgins were booked out, complete with prepared kosher meals. The female flight attendants said they felt totally freaked out by s...

Dave Allen recanted on his death bed

This is an old one dating to March 2005. Posted just after the death of atheist comedian Dave Allen. *** EAP. London March 13 2005. Reports from grieving relatives have confirmed the amazing recanting of his life long atheism of deceased comedian Dave Allen. Allen, who grew up with the hell and brimstone Catholicism of devote Ireland, made a career out of denigrating the faith of his childhood and religion in general in comedy sketches and stand up acts, though he was usually sitting down on a stool with a whiskey and cigarette while doing so. He was the first to impersonate the pope on prime time TV and pushed the limits of what was allowed for his time. He was considered a trail blazer among alternative comedians. Now it appears that the faith he made a career out of sending up was finally embraced by the ailing Allen in the last moments. Allen requested that a priest be present to give the last rites. Family members present arranged this and a priest took confes...
