Outsourced Prayer
by: Rev. DanVia Lark News:
Last month, Lori Danes, 43, called the prayer line of a major television ministry and requested prayer for her mother’s persistent ulcers. But her prayer representative, who called himself “Darren,” prayed in a strong Indian accent that “all the gods would bless her mightily.”
“I was stunned,” Danes says. “It was like I’d called a demon prayer line.”
I too, am stunned. Why is it that a hick from Des Moines can’t call a prayer line and hear favorite type of religious vitrol without one of those impure Indian Accents(tm), and why, pray tell, dear one-true-god-noone-is-holy-but-you-there-is-no-god-but-one-whose-true-believers-pay-true-representatives-to-recite-prayers-on-their-behalf would you allow such a travesty? Allowing someone of Indian descent to offer the favor of all gods instead of just their Jew-Hating White Supremacist Jesus Christ(tm?) SHOCKING!
The manager of India Prayer Solutions, located in Mumbai, India, apologized for the incident and fired the employee who, he said, had not been properly trained. But dozens of similar incidents have rattled U.S. callers since major ministries began outsourcing their prayer lines to India. The ministries insist they are overwhelmed by the growing number of calls for prayer.
“There aren’t enough Americans willing to sit in the prayer tower and take calls anymore,” says a prayer coordinator at a major ministry which jobbed out its prayer lines last year.

That is great! I’m still laughing.
I thought we made Mexicans do the work that Americans won’t do.
I had it that migrants who come here are usually hired to do manual labor since that’s actually possible. The programming and tech. stuff often goes to India or China where there’s been more training and investment to do service and support-style labor.
But we all know that all Mexicans, Hispanics, and Latinos (and anybody “too tan” [live movie stars in CA] are all Catholics, and we all know that the Catholic Church is the Whore of Babylon. Therefore, if anybody called and heard someone pray with a Latin accent that they’d be truly calling a “demonic call center” instead of just a weird Hindoo or Voodoo or Bhudduslam or whatever it’s called one. Those other people are just misguided ’cause they grew up in a primitive culture… it’s the Catholics who are the Antichrist. You can’t have the Antichrist as your prayer partner, now can you?
A prayer hotline may be the laziest thing I’ve ever heard of.
Lazier than this blog’s primary author? C’mon!?
Isn’t LarkNews.com a humour site? I don’t think they intend their articles to be taken seriously. I mean, “‘Proverbs 31 husband’ justifies beer habit”? That’s only marginally less satirical than something you would see on The Onion.
