Signs of Increased Spiritual Laziness

I came across an article this morning on my Google Reader about an automated prayer service that is being offered by Information Age Prayer.  This is a service that uses text-to-speech technology to "incant your prayers each day."

Are you kidding me with this???  Is praying so difficult that we have to allow technology to do it for us?  Should we be surprised when God gives us the answering machine on this one?  This is absolutely awful!  The only reason I mention it is to say, "Stay away from it!!!"  Click on the link above and check it out, but don't you dare give them any money for this absurdity.

What I find even worse about it is the fact that you can select from Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Unaffliated, or Other Religions prayers.  What the heck??!?!??  It's like somebody came up with an idea to see just how dumb some religious people really are and to scam a little bit of money while they were at it.

If you ever get to the point in your spiritual life where you need a website to do your praying for you, we need to talk.
