God decides to cancel the rain, Stewart

Posted: 8/12/08 at 12:44pm

Focus on the Family producer Stewart Shepard asks the group's followers to pray for rain at Invesco Mile High stadium during Obama's Democratic National Convention speech. "We're not asking for hail the size of canned Hams or for lightening to set the bunting on fire...just rain so hard that TV cameras can't see the podium..."

If God sent Katrina to stop Southern Decadence, don't you think he'd already be on putting together a little sprinkle to stop the antichrist from speaking?

Don't worry. I just called Piper, Phoebe and Paige. With the power of three on our side, they don't stand a chance!

I love that it's Christian to pray for misfortune of others. This in lieu of droughts that have been plaguing us. Seems to me they should be praying for rain on election day.

I'm sure Obama would build an ark and allow his followers on two-by-two.

Though I don't like Obama, I find comfort in the fact that folks like FOF are taking such desperate measures; that means they're scared sh*tless.

Then again, they always take desperate measures because they're brain-washed losers.

God HAS sent rain of Biblical proportions. There's some effin' HUGE puddles in my courtyard this evening as testament to what He put us through this afternoon.

I guess last Friday was the dress rehearsal. (Denver was hit by a huge storm that even disrupted the satellite feeds during the opening ceremonies of the Olympics.)

could be worse. they could have issued a fatwa declaring that it was the duty of their followers to kill by beheading anyone who attended the event, was planning to attend the event, thought kindly of the event or who failed to behead anyone they knew who did any or all of the above.

DayDreamer, we were not happy with that storm and the interruption of the opening ceremonies. However, they did re-run them without the interruption at 1:30am on Saturday.

Also, Focus on the Family issued a statement here today that was somewhat of an apology for Shepards call for a prayer for rain during the speech. I hope it doesn't because I am supposed to attend. It is possible that it could rain. We usually get these late afternoon/evening storms in May & June. Things seem to be switching as we have been getting them for the past week and still have a few in the forcast.

This just in: God has officially endorsed Barack Obama for President. "The way I figure" Yahweh (A/K/A "King of Kings") remarked today "The Republicans have had their shot. I think this young colored fella has some good ideas."

And the word is the Republicans are considering postponing their convention if Hugo hits the US.

We'll all have to ask Stewart Shephard what his god is saying if THAT happens.

Now Hugo that is a name that can **** you up, much more so than Katrina. Katrina sounds like the name of an idiot from The Hills.
