Just as the carbon content of the Earth’s atmosphere reaches the point of no return and her state experiences its most powerful, fracking-induced earthquake to date, Governor Fallin of Oklahoma declares October 13th “Oil Field Prayer Day.” If we are now to pray for our oil fields, then we clearly need to update the text to make it more hydrocarbon friendly: Link to the Lost Ogle article on Oklahoma's Oil Field Prayer Day
Our Father,
Who art at Devon,
Harrowed be thy domain.
Thy incomes slump,
Thy wells be done,
In th'earth as it is at Devon.
Give us this day our daily lead,
And forgive us our tax incentives,
As we forgive those who lobby against us.
And lead us not into conservation,
But deliver us from windmills.
For thou art a symptom
Of power and energy,
Forever and ever,
Carbon.
