This is a little over the top, but the premise is pretty funny:
http://www.presidentmoron.com/faithbasedmissile.html Excerpt:
"While operational details of the system are apparently still being worked
out, it is known that during an attack by an ICBM launched by a "rogue state,"
computers for the Faith-based System would rapidly activate a "prayer circle"
of volunteers who have registered with a database as being willing to pray for
national survival. An automated instant-message system would instruct the
volunteers in the prayer circle on the altitude, velocity and orbital
trajectory of the incoming threat; the volunteers would then employ prayer to
guide the Rapture missiles to the intercept point."
