Quote by Emo Philips
When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way, so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me.
Summary
This quote humorously portrays a shift in the speaker's understanding of prayer and divine intervention. As a child, they believed prayers could directly result in material possessions. However, upon realizing the limitations of this belief, they modify their actions by taking matters into their own hands. The juxtaposition of stealing and asking for forgiveness showcases the speaker's learning experience and highlights the notion that personal actions have consequences but can still be subject to divine forgiveness.
