It should be obvious God has nothing to do with who wins the lottery.

Why? There is a whole branch of Christianity (prosperity theology: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosperity_theology) that argues that God brings financial rewards to those that believe in him. This doctrine seems to work too, at least in as much as it brings financial rewards to those who preach it...

God has something to do with people winning money? That's funny.
Any true Christian knows that God does not involve himself with materialistic things.
People that pray to God for money and wealth and such materialistic wishes are praying to an empty hole.
You don't pray to God for that.

As long as you're willing to pay for the program....

You know what they say, Americans elect Democrats for the free stuff, Republicans because they don't want to pay for it..

It was a joke, ya know, tied in with the welfare thread?

I guess it didn't go over.

My wife is a workers comp claims adjuster. She is supposed to check if the person filing a claim is behind on child support.

When she finds out that they do owe, she can have their claim checks garnished to pay the child support up to a certain percentage at the adjuster's discretion.

She always garnishes the maximum and loves the phone calls she gets from the claimant- "Where's all my money?" When they gripe, she tells them she can't do anything about it and to talk to the Dept. of Child Services.

Very little sympathy for people who don't pay their child support.
