For just $18.99(USD), you get a complete set of three candles, including Darth Vader, a Stormtrooper and Princess Leia. With Vader you’ll probably be praying for your Death Star to hold up against a rebel fleet. With Leia, you’ll pray for Obi-Wan’s help, since he is your only hope. The Stormtrooper? Well, you had better pray that you don’t get posted to Endor. Those Ewoks are brutal.

So add some religion to your Star Wars collection today and head on over to Etsy to order your candles now.

Need Some Spiritual Help? Pay This Retired Minister $5 and He’ll Pray For You

Have you heard of fiverr.com? It’s a site that provides interested users with “graphics, marketing, fun and more online services for $5.” All sorts of bizarre services are being offered on the site, from people offering to write messages for you using Indian spices to making soda tab bracelets that they’ll be happy to mail to your home.

In the mix is user givingpraise, who promises to pray for your request for five bucks.

Before you get irate at the fact that someone’s trying to make a few quick bucks off of someone’s faith, the listing adds that the money raised will be used to help others. How, we’re not sure, but we’re hoping they’ll donate it to charity or fund some local programs that’ll help people in need.

I find nothing wrong with wanting to raise money to help others, but it just seems like a roundabout way to pray and ask others to pray for you, doesn’t it? A trip to your local ministry would’ve sufficed – and it would definitely be more meaningful.
