THE LORD'S PRAYER...?

Two men were drinking in a bar when the topic of conversation got round to religion. One man turned to his friend and said; “I bet you don't even know the Lord's Prayer."

"Wait a minute," said his friend, "I do too know the Lord's Prayer." So his friend pulled out a £20 and said, "I bet you can't say the Lord's Prayer." His mate confidently replied: "Now, I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep..."

At that his friend interrupted him. "Here’s your money" he said, "I didn't think you knew it."

Sadly there is great ignorance when it comes to the Bible.
