Nope, I put my trust in a higher authority.

I got a standard acknowledgement in my head, saying " thank you for contacting the almighty, your prayer is important to us, the Lord is busy right now, but you are in a queue, and you will recieve a reply, just as soon as the Lord becomes free ".

"Scores" means more than dozens and less than hundreds, so I'd say twenties is still the common meaning.
