Was this a divinely inspired patent?

The inventor admits that peanut-shaped cushions have already been patented and that knee cushions have already been patented. But never have the two been combined in the service of the Lord. Hence, another patent is issued.

This all leads to more questions. What would God think of our silly little patent system? Isn't He, after all, the Creator of Everything. How does He define "unobvious?" Does He collect royalties? Does He have a patent attorney?

I thought the whole idea of kneeling was about inflicting a reminder of the pain of atonement and that of Jesus on the cross whilst begging to God. This inventor is cheating--IN CHURCH!
