Information Age Prayer is a site that charges you a monthly fee to say prayers for you. A typical charge is $4.95 per month to say three prayers specified by you each day.

“We use state of the art text to speech synthesizers to voice each prayer at a volume and speed equivalent to typical person praying,” the company states. “Each prayer is voiced individually, with the name of the subscriber displayed on screen.”

Prices, however, are dictated by the length of the prayer. As noted in the Information Age Prayer FAQ, “A discounted prayer will cost less than other prayers of similar length.”

I love Penman’s comment:
Thomas Tussler quote, “A fool and his money are soon parted”

When you think of all the gimmicks these snake-oil salesmen have come up with to take people’s money from them, this tops the cake.

Want to relieve the national debt? Tax those selling religion in all its forms and variations. They have private jets, mega-churches, television and radio stations. Ted Haggard comes to mind, what sweet deal he worked out. Meth user, male prostitutes (and why would a guy pay a fifty-plus years old prostitute for sex sounds pretty kinky to me) and the church paid him to leave. Where do you find money like that? Selling snake-oil–religion.

“Give me that ole’ time religion” It should be sung, “Give me your money fool.” At least it would be more honest.

At least if you don’t make it, you know your computer will be in heaven!
 
A computer that recites prayers, what will they think of next?!😦 Time and time again, just when I think I’ve heard of everything, something happens to prove me wrong…

I disagree with the title chosen by Live Science, “You Pay, Computer Prays For You,” since the computer simply recites prayers, but I suppose many people also pray that way, so I guess that is what they were going for when whomever or whatever company team came up with this gem. :confused:
 
I suppose there is some good in making a computer (or a stereo) play prayers to God, but unless someone is actually listening… I’m not so sure?

This is ridiculous! I can’t believe people would really sign up.
