Group Asks for Divine Intervention to Ease Oil Prices

(CNSNews.com) - As the price of oil continues to rise, some are
turning to God and prayer for an answer to their financial troubles.

The Pray at the Pump Movement, founded by Rocky Twyman, has been
holding prayer vigils at gas stations across the country. On Monday,
Twyman decided to take his movement from Exxon and Shell stations
straight to the steps of the Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington,
D.C., hoping to encourage the oil-rich country to raise the amount of
barrels they release each day from 200,000 to 1.2 million.

Twyman, who is a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, spent the
afternoon outside of the embassy praying and asking passersby to sign
his petition for the release of more oil, which he hopes to deliver to
the Saudi oil minister.

"Our people are really suffering through this crisis," Twyman told
Cybercast News Service. "We need the Saudis to release at least 1.2
[million] barrels of oil per day for about the next six months until
we can get everything settled in America ... (I)f they can just do
that for us, than this will help us get through this crisis."

Twyman, who prompted the first national campaign aimed at getting
African Americans to become bone marrow donors, has moved on to more
active participation to lower gas prices than eliciting the help of
God through prayer.

"I think we have just entered a new phase. We were in the prayerful
phase, but now we're going into a more activist phase, because we feel
that whole faith without works is dead," Twyman told reporters.

Prayer aside, some argue that there is very little the average
consumer can do to influence gas prices. John Neurohr from the Center
for American Progress, a liberal think tank, has a different approach
to managing the high gas prices.

"There is little, if anything, the average person can do to reduce gas
prices generally," Neurohr told Cybercast News Service. "What they can
do is reduce their personal dependence on gasoline by carpooling and
utilizing public transportation."

Whether consumers decide to pray more or pump less, it is likely that
the big changes will result from incremental steps towards more
consumer-friendly oil policies.

it's the Muslims that have all the oil.
