Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "pray.py", line 3, in believer_pray
open('/dev/god', 'w').write(text)
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/dev/god'
As always, the untouchables are not allowed to pray...
Maybe open('/dev/null', 'w') would be a better implementation :P
