"God has answered our prayers for confusion in the Tesco boardroom".
Yes, well, quite.
Such is the claim from "Christian voice".
According to their National Director Stephen Green "...it seems that almighty God, who operates outside space and time, was well ahead of us, anticipating our prayers, and seeing by our actions that our prayers were serious".

Re: "God has answered our prayers for confusion in the Tesco boardroom".
So because Tesco sponsored a family area at the gay Pride celebtrations they have prayed to God that the company will fail ........not a very Christian ideal

Out of curiosity, what would you have considered a Christian ideal to have been?

Tolerance and acceptance of other people? Love your neighbour and only god can judge people? The Christianity I was taught as school is at odds with some of the homophobia display in some, some, sectors of Christianity (mostly in Africa and America).

Yes, but the real clincher is that sales went down before the prayers, so the logical conclusion is that God anticipated the prayers, and acted proactively to dent the sales.

Re: "God has answered our prayers for confusion in the Tesco boardroom".
i wonder if God tipped this bloke the nod to make up for the fall in share price
http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2...rofits-warning
Bob Robbins, head of Tesco's UK stores, sold 50,000 shares days before profits warning wiped £5bn off retailer's value

Although you're not the person it was aimed at what makes you say that? Not saying I disagree, just wondering what brings you to those views.
