O Lord, if, by some bizarre and unlikely fluke, you actually exist, hear my prayer.
Could you please find a way of demonstrating to Christian groups such as the Core Issues Trust and the Anglican Mainstream that their desire to mount a homophobic advertising campaign using London buses is contrary to the central message of Christianity.
I'm not asking that you smite them or visit them with plagues; no - all I'm asking is that you find a way of firmly explaining to them, once and for all, that their actions contradict the central messages of Jesus' teachings about love and compassion and forgiveness and the like...
So please, no afflictions, fevers, inflammations, stonings, barrenness, banishments or killing of first borns; all I ask is that you clearly tell these people to stop claiming some authority for their crackpot ideas by using your name (in vain). I'm sure they will listen to you.
And whilst you're about it, could you have a similar word with Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church, the Pope, Archbishop John Sentamu, Cardinal Keith O'Brien... I won't spell it out for you (being omniscient and all that) but, undoubtedly, you have a long list of these nutters.
For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever.
Amen
