1. Prayers and death threats all at once..

I'm constantly amused by these folks.

[RussBLib]

2. it's pretty easy to fool the faithful

they tend to be rather gullible.

If they buy that hokey Bible story, they'll buy anything.

[Rob H.]

3. So they're basically mad because...

they wasted their time doing nothing concrete to help for a different reason than they originally thought.

I like this part:

A dog with a slice of ham on his face has raised an impressive 1.3 million prayers on Facebook, a generously distributed and worthless form of imaginary currency.

4. They say laughter is the best medicine,

And I am quite well, thank you!

5. "To those who are concerned,

...the ham was successfully removed and the dog is expected to live a normal life."

[Binkie The Clown]

6. The important question is...

after suffering such indignity, did the dog get to eat the slice of ham? I certainly hope so, or else there is no justice in this world.

8. did the dog get to eat the slice of ham?

Too bad it wasn't a dachshund.

He coulda name him Dachshund Hammet.

7. Death threats because the readers got fooled?

"I prayed for your dog. But it turned out to be a prank. So in celebration of my personal gullibility, I'm going to kill you."

Something like that??? I'm confused by this story. This is nothing new, I'm often confused by doorknobs. But still, that doesn't seem like a very Xian response. Oh wait - sure it does...
