Pastor: Thank God For My Hot Wife
You might get some dirty looks if you thanked God for your hot wife at the family Thanksgiving feast. But a pastor saying a prayer before a NASCAR race got plenty of laughs. Baptist Pastor Joe Nelms had a lot to bless before NASCAR Federation Auto Parts 300 race in Nashville."So we want to thank you tonight for these mighty machines you brought before us," Nelms said during the prayer. "Thank you for the Dodges and the Toyotas. Thank you for the Fords. Thank you for Sunoco racing fuel and Goodyear tires."He also thanked God for his family -- though not in a manner typical for a pastor."Lord, I want to thank you for my smokin' hot wife tonight," said Nelms/CNN, AP.

Question (re: this prayer that's gone viral): Was Pastor Joe being sacriligeous in thanking God for hot cars and his hot wife?
