Bwah! Evangelicals organizing to pray for rain during Obama's acceptance speech.

[woo me with science]

Let's hope they prioritize all their efforts on things like this. :rofl:

1. What a fucking asswipe.

It's people like that... oh to hell with it. (And him.)

[liberal N proud]

2. Consider all the good they could do this world if their efforts were focused

on a real need or issue.

[hamsterjill]

25. Yes, focused on a true "Christian" ideal

Instead of perpetuating hate and turmoil.

[lisa58]

3. How Christ-like

[meegbear]

13. My thoughts exactly

[KamaAina]

4. Be careful what you ask for...

...rain in Colorado in August is often accompanied by lightning -- which just might miss the stadium and strike somewhere else nearby, if you receive my drift... :evilgrin:

[SoCalDem]

5. How utterly childish and lame.. I'm praying for the rapture for theirs

:)

[BOSSHOG]

6. Just got to love "christians" and their love

[Joanne98]

7. Isn't that witchcraft? A curse is a curse. Frauds.

We should get millions of people to gather on corners all over the country at the same time and pray that Gawd strikes all the "christians" dead because they are evil and ruining the world.

See how they like it.

[RedShoes]

8. Any theatre vixen worth their salt will tell you that rain on opening night is good luck. nt

[asjr]

9. Well, Peace on Earth Goodwill to all.

[kwolf68]

10. is rain bad?

My very religious grandparents always looked at rain with reverence because it was 'the lords work'. Whatever weather comes our way they would reason is just 'his work' and there is no agenda in that weather.

11. Rain would be most appreciated.

We've been going through a bad drought this summer. No one would mind a rainstorm - in fact, I think the mood would be quite lifted.

[Gold Metal Flake]

12. But if Liberals are "dirty hippies" then they have already proved they like to play in the rain.

Wireless mics don't shock like the ungrounded PA amps and directly connected mics of Woodstock. It would be perfectly safe.

So, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain. :hi:

[spanone]

14. a fine use of their 'godly' powers....christians my ass

[Union Thug]

15. Knock yourself out, 'moran.'

If that doesn't work, try the voodoo dolls.

[truebrit71]

16. How wonderfully "christian" of them...

....dirtbags...

[Warpy]

17. Given the success rate of Evangelical prayers, they're

virtually assuring him of a sunny, unseasonably warm day.

[marmar]

18. Sadly comical.......

..... what idiots!!!

:spray:

[LWolf]

19. As long as it rains in drought plagued areas, that's fine with me. nt

[Hubert Flottz]

20. Well for heaven's snakes...

[derby378]

21. Well, it rained on Bush during his installation in January 2001...

I think God has spoken already, and is sitting back to let us reap the fruits.

[L0oniX]

22. Maybe they should hire some indians to do a rain dance too.

:evilgrin:

[scheming daemons]

23. Actually, Obama speaking in the rain to 75,000 dripping-wet fans would be a GREAT image

Awesome!

[On the Road]

24. I Am Sure They Will All be Quoting

the fifth chapter of the Epistle of James:

¹⁷ Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. ¹⁸ And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

Whether it will work remains to be seen. Personally, I like the image of accepting the nomination in the storm. It will highlight the euphoria and there will lots of great shots of people sliding around in the mosh pit.

[Alter Ego]

26. I'm hoping that they hold this outside

and that God has a sense of humor and sends a downpour to drench them instead.

[jayfish]

27. So If It Doesn't Rain, Does That Mean Their God...

doesn't exist or does it mean he hates them? :shrug:

Jay

[Contrary1]

28. I will pray with them. "Let it pour down torrents of rain

and after the rains cease, may thou sendeth down a vibrant rainbow upon Obama
which shall light his way and follow him as he riseth to take center stage.

Thank you...thank you very much.

[InternalDialogue]

29. If they would like to tempt fate

and combine bad weather, Colorado in the summer, rabid fans, and a "rock star," then let 'em go nuts. That's worked out pretty well in the past:
