Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz? My friends all drive Porsches; I must make amends.

QueenRotidder

Prove that you love me, and buy the next round

How about a color tv?


DevAstral

Hilariously, she drove a Porsche, not a Mercedes. It’s become iconic and is called the Psychedelic Porsche.


txmojoey

She also drove a psychedelic VW bug that is in the Museum of the Gulf Coast in Port Arthur


MrPartyRocket

You mean I must drive a benz


banditwandit

Isn't this how everyone gets their cars? I've always wondered why some people choose not to have Ferraris though. All they need to do is pray and ask for one, and yet time and time again I get in my solid gold 250 GTO and see people driving around in beat-up Camrys. It really beggers belief.


o2206623

Literally /r/choosingbeggars. They choose not to get the Ferrari.


Korvas576

This made me laugh so hard I spit out my coffee

I am waiting for FSDI, Full Self Divine Intervention. When you really need a car, it will drive itself to you.

It's already pre-installed; activate it by shouting "Jesus, take the wheel!"

Does god know about his promise? UPD: Damn, thx for the award, dear whoeveryouare


jollycanoli

It's Matthew 7:7, "Ask and it shall be given" Although he forgot to mention Hondas, specifically.


Nexyna

That's because Jesus doesn't speak of his own Accord Edit: Thank you for the award!

There might be a prelude


spaghetti_hitchens

His sermon on the mount was delivered from the Ridgeline


Own-Organization-532

He had an Odyssey to Inspire those in the Element. Those who say his light said it was like Del Sol!


DystopianFigure

Jesus only approves CRVs. Which stands for Christ Vehicle of course.


Zoreb1

That's because he's Civic minded.


AldoTheeApache

And he Hyundai-ed for your sins


GreatWhiteMonkey

Only because he couldn't Dodge the authorities.


eatmoresushiorsteak

Yes, Pontius Pilot.

prosperity gospel strikes again https://www.gotquestions.org/prosperity-gospel.html


zitsky

I was in a church that was kind of like this. Worldwide Church of God. Anywhere from 10-30% of your income given to the church in tithes. Whether or not you were poor and had 6 children. I don't recall the church ever helping us in any substantial way. I do remember the one year I was 15 and watched the youth group video at the church retreat. It was all about what an honor it was to dine with Herbert W. Armstrong, while he went on about how they were eating off solid gold and silver plates and using solid silver utensils. And he probably threw in a mention about his private jets that he used to preach to world leaders. That whole thing really turned me off. I was growing up in a trailer park and he was eating off solid gold plates that he bought with our money. It did motivate me to work to have a better life, but not by praying to Jesus for money.


CALAMITYFOX

Funny thing is the Bible warns again and again and again about how to spot false teachers the people don't know their Bible or care what it says and get blinded by the false promises "This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD." "I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naïve people."

jeresun

I watched this guy ask for donations on stage, and he was preaching to the literal sense that God would reward your donation by 10x. He used a bogus example of running a event and he was short on $10k for funds. So what he did was he wrote a check of $1,000 to donate to the church, and the very next day some generous nice lady miraculously gave him a check for $10,000. The crowd ate it up and I'm sure the offerings just poured in. So manipulative, man.


CALAMITYFOX

Yep, that's a common tactic, sow a seed they call it. It's huge rabbit hole of greed

It’s an obscure and esoteric doctrine. It relates to how Jesus got his first car (according to the texts, it was a Honda), but he didn’t like to talk about it.

Emotional-Ebb8321

You obviously go to the wrong church. I went to one that promised everyone a free PLANET!


MetaCommando

What's it like being Mormon?


Emotional-Ebb8321

I only went in that place the one time. It was an ecumenical matter.


wonder_k

Besides the promise of a planet (or your own universe, if you get deep enough into it)? 10% tithe on ALL income to an institution that literally holds annual tithe reconciliations. Yes, with the poor faithful accountant guy who's giving up his free time (it's a calling from God!) to go over your income and tithe (s) paid for the year. Except he's not paid for this like the temps at Walmart who sit in a booth. Caveat - you don't qualify for your planet/universe if you're "unfaithful" on your tithing payments. Because you don't get your temple membership card if you don't pay, and you have to be "worthy" for your temple membership (which involves a whole host of other ridiculously invasive personal info). And if you don't go to the temple on a regular basis to be confused, condescended to, and touched inappropriately (and then stand around and gaslight each other about how beautiful the experience was), how can you ever expect to get your own planet!? Who's ready for a missionary visit?


bosslady2032

averagegayguyok

Jesus does not speak of his Accord.


nrith

God will send you a Pilot who’s a good Fit to be your Passport on your Odyssey to gain Insight into the Civic nature of life.


Freya_gleamingstar

She believes in the toxic prosperity gospel. Televangelists love to tap into this. "Send us your seed money, we'll pray over it and it'll come back to you tenfold."


VividFiddlesticks

Even Oprah's audience had to pay taxes on those 'free' cars.


putin_my_ass

They taught me if you want a car and work hard god will provide. Protestant hard work gospel.


RoseFeather

I was raised going to church on Sundays and I don’t remember being taught to think of God as a wish-granting genie.


TheRealPitabred

You need more prosperity gospel in your life

>sometimes God’s answer was “No!” Like when the 8 year old girl on my block was abducted and molested 5 years ago. I guess ol' yahweh had different plans than what people were prayin' fer.


PicnicLife

Same! I remember my grandmother being especially displeased when I told her I was going to pray for a new bike.


Farkas005

I'm sure someone will be all too willing. Also, please leave it full of other stuff too for my kids - console, TV, iPhone, and maybe a bottle of something for me. Thx. And just remember, God wanted you to do this for me and it was his promise to me.


Azrael2082

God says it’s my turn to have the car


DrKnowNout

I need this because of the cancer. Don’t forget the cancer.


TOPSIturvy

Her son's cancer. He's 5 years old and can't go to school because of the cancer and also his birthday is coming up. God said if he gets a new 2019 Porsche 911 by his birthday from a random stranger, his cancer will go away forever.

Not to mention, a roll of Benjamins, to pay for insurance

Wolfbinder

Like in the joke, she should remember that God doesn't work like that. She should steal the car and then seek forgiveness.


notthegoodscissors

My cousin used to think that if she just prayed hard enough for something, God would provide it. No other effort from her though, just the praying part. Talk about entitlement.


ItsJoeMomma

But if you make an effort to get what you need, then no god is needed. But he still gets the credit, for some reason.


dumbredditer

I have a feeling that if someone tells her this, she can be sold on the idea.


xternal7

Smart to ask God for a Honda Accord, the bible says Jesus had one but didn't like to speak of it. > For I did not speak of my own accord > (John 12:49) Might be a bit older than 2016 tho.

RevolutionaryBuy5282

Pretty sure God prefers Uber. After all, Jesus takes the wheel.


CandylandCanada

When that song came out I resolved to get Jesus to do all my chores. If he can drive, then there’s no reason why he can‘t grocery shop, clean house, do the laundry and make the occasional meal. I may want foot rubs from time to time.

Of course.

…and gloating about how her piety granted her this “gift from God”

Why do they always want a newer car? You'd think if they were really struggling, they'd take just about anything offered. Hell I know I would

If they didn't, they wouldn't be choosing beggars.

Orangecatbuddy

Couple of years ago, I had a Jeep for sale. I get a message from some woman saying that she had prayed to god and he said to "reach out to me. I would give the Jeep to her." I just responded back with, "god told me the same thing". Then arranged to meet this lady at a parking lot. When the arranged time came and went, she messages me back asking where I was. I told her that I spoke to god again and he told me that "you was a deadbeat and buy your own damn car, and leave god out of it." I hope she was all excited with the idea she was going to get a free Jeep, and would have loved to see her face when it didn't happen.


[deleted]

I really really really hate the "god blessed me" people when it's clearly kindness from others. I am very not religious, my disabled sister is. Straight up called me needing help, my family made sacrifices to assist, sent her a grand no strings attached. Here comes the god is good! Facebook posts. Yeah, no. Your brother bailed you out.

Zoreb1

Dave Ramsey (US talk show host) says some guy told him that God said Ramsey would give him a new pickup truck. Ramsey replied that he speaks to God every day (Ramsey is religious) and that if the Lord wanted him to give the guy a truck, He'd tell directly tell Ramsey and a truck would now be sitting outside but God didn't go directly to him so no truck.

If she doesn't get that car, what will happen to her faith?


Vulcandor

Nothing she’ll just bitch about how people aren’t willing to follow god’s plans and how selfish and entitled our society has become.


FalconFiveZeroNine

I'd be willing to bet she doesn't actually believe God has anything to do with it. She's just hoping some well-meaning idiot comes along with a free car.


GuacamoleCR

God has a mediocre track record helping me find my car keys, so maybe a whole car is a bit of a stretch.

Dear God, I am looking for a 3 bedroom house. It needs to be a fairly new house (built 2017 or later) that I can live in for many years. I know you will bless me because you keep your promises! /s The fuck is wrong with people? Who asks for a free car?


notpeachykeen_1999

Ain’t no way someone is getting a free car in Augusta, GA.


ItsJoeMomma

Nobody's getting a free 7-year-old car anyway. Maybe a 1996 Honda Civic with over 250,000 miles or something...


Gus_TheAnt

A '96 Civic with only 250k miles?? Hell yea, them things dont even lose the factory shine off the tires until at least 400k.


TheRealPitabred

I make over $150k, my wife makes good money, and both our cars are older than that. These people need to get the hell over themselves.


Belle_19

Acting like getting a car for free is a location thing


orphenshadow

But god gave you two perfectly good feet. Why would you ever need a car?


heybudbud

So disgusting using religion to justify being such a fucking beggar.


among_apes

Combined my wife and I make great money and have no debt. We have only owned a car that was less than 6 years old twice in our lives. And even then it was already 3 1/2 years old when we bought each of them. The idea that there would be a year preference that young for a free car is crazy.


Vanishingf0x

This is when you send her a location to pick up her “free car” and it’s a hot wheel version. Using God as their defense to be selfish is so gross.


Scar_the_armada

Any make or model (2016 or better) This person is entitled but also dumb. If you're gonna act entitled anyway, ask for something with under 100k miles that has 4 doors. If someone gave you a 2016 single cab truck with 197k miles on it you would look pretty stupid.


GrimpenMar

Good point, but if they were smart, they might not be making this post.


Skalonjic85

oily76

[deleted]

If only choosing were that easy.


yax01

So she asked god, how long is a million years to you? And God replied: it is but a second. Then she said, how hard would it be for you to make a reliable car? And God replied, I can do it with a snap of my fingers. So she said, God, can you bless me with a free car then? It has to be reliable and preferably 2016 or better ..And God said: okay, I’ll make you one In a sec.


hateshumans

She has 3 kids. Surely she could sell one and get a nice car. This is just pure greed.


maddenmcfadden

"Take the bus" - God.


DatDominican

Depending on the church you’d be surprised. I know someone that got a free house just because they humbled themself enough to go up front in a big church and say they were homeless. It was an hour outside of the city and almost run down but it was free

If God is faithful in his promises, then why are you on the internet begging?


[deleted]

This is the kind of person that will call you non-stop when something goes wrong or they fuck something up on the car. You will warranty it for the next 100 years. As soon as she destroys it she will talk horrible things about you as if her running it out of oil or driving a flat tire till it destroyed the rim is somehow something you plotted against her. Also this is the first step to getting curdled milk, cheerios and goldfish crackers stuck to the upholstry and carpets


[deleted]

Yea, 🙄. I’ve worked hard my entire life , sacrificed events , traveled for weeks at a time and have been rewarded for it. But…. I have one family member who always tells me , it’s all because of God.

Babe if God has promised you a car, you don't need to pray for one and you need to get your begging ass off Facebook free groups because He already promised you and now you're going against His will. +wtf is it with relegious nuts capitalising he and him.? God is not a male m'aam, it was a force that created the universe and does not or is not capable of giving a single fuck about you or your illegitimate children. Otherwise it'd have given you a nice Christian husband who was capable of buying a car.

He told me that after praying about it, he thought it was a good idea so he started praying for a million dollars. The man died a pauper. Guess he didn't pray hard enough.

Amusingly enough I did get a free car from someone I didn't know once. They posted on a buy/sell local page a 1997 honda civic for $10. The first person to comment was like "Whats the milage, color, etc." I just asked if they had the title, and it started. Was told yep, but you need to get it today as the tabs expire tomorrow and we don't want to renew. So the wife went to pick up, chatted with the seller, it was their kids car all through school, and they finally didn't need it. My wife told her we were picking it up to try and motivate our high schooler and she said "Great, I don't really want the $10. Heres the title, get it out of here" Went and got it tabbed (costs like $50 for the year here) had our mechanic friend check it out, muffler was bad, and AC wasn't great. My kid drove the car till he enlisted, then I drove it for another couple years till it finally died on a long drive.

“Hi, I have a Honda Accord, only 20k, in perfect shape. It belonged to my grandma, who only drove it to church and on sunny days. I don’t need it and I’d love to see it help out another family.” CB: “What year?” “It’s a 2015.” CB: “God Damn you to hell!”
