The other day, I received a \u201cPrayer Carpet\u201d in the mail. This church out in Oklahoma sent out a letter with writing all over the envelope addressed to \u201cCurrent Resident.\u201d The envelope was pretty think too. Inside, it contained a piece of paper folded several times. It had the printed image of a carpet on it. The design was a face of Jesus wish his eyes closed and it said \u201cPrayer carpet\u201d on it.<\/p>\n

The letter inside talked about generic stories of people who have prayed on similar prayer carpets and have had their prayers come true. I was told that I should send the prayer carpet back to the church with a sizable donation of course so that other people could use my prayer carpet (as if they didn\u2019t print out thousands of them).<\/p>\n

Here comes the interesting part. The letter states that some people have reported a seeing a miracle after praying on the prayer carpet. Apparently, while staring at the face of Jesus, his eyes miraculously opened. This was a sign from God that the prayer had been received.<\/p>\n

Of course after careful inspection of the \u201cprayer carpet\u201d you can see that there is actually a hidden image of eye balls in the closed eyes of Jesus. This was part of the printing design sort of like a magic eye optical illusion. In other words, the people who made this prayer carpet are consciously trying to deceive people. Shocker, I know.<\/p>\n

I bet a lot of people fall for this shit too. Well, the jokes on them, because I\u2019m keeping my prayer carpet, lol.
