Did y'all hear about the media director, Stuart Shepard, for James Dobsen's evangelical group, Focus on the Family Action, asking Dobsen's followers to pray that rain of Biblical Proportions fall on Barack Obama during his acceptance speech in Denver this week?
The You Tube
well... Keith Olbermann then annointed him as the Worst Person in the World for that request:
KO's You Tube
and then... after a flurry of protests about that video... it was pulled from the web...
Focus On Family Pulls Controversial Obama 'Rain' Video
Video Had Asked Prayers For 'Rain Of Biblical Proportions' (http://www.thedenverchannel.com/politics/17166715/detail.html)
I don't really have any idea where the majority of Dobsen's followers live, but I imagine a good portion of them are southerners...
well... this thread isn't so much about the idiocy shown in the video but more about what has happened in Florida since that request was made August 11...
y'all hip to how much rain has fallen in Florida since Tropical Storm Fay came ashore and came ashore, and then came ashore and then, yes, came ashore again?
Any idea how much rain has fallen on the east coast of Florida?
Yes... biblical proportions have fallen... over 2 FEET of rain in some locales... and Fay still isn't done... after maintaining her tropical status while traversing the land portion of Florida TWICE, she has finally fallen back to a tropical depression but has reversed her direction and is now over Alabama and Georgia, dumping yes... more rain of Biblical proportions over the region commonly refered to as the Bible Belt...
So I have this question...
Does God want Obama to win?

Yep. I'm pretty sure God wants Obama to win. Otherwise, he wouldn't have hired all the stupid people to oppose him. :drool: :madlaugh:

I think someone actually calculated how much rain would have to fall for the Biblical flood to be true -- that is, to cover the earth including the highest mountains, within 30 days and 30 nights. I believe it turned out that the raindrops would have be the size of cars and drop at a very, very fast rate.
In any event, the point is that Fay isn't even close to the absurd story in Genesis... You just can't compare the two at all.

Why not? If your searching for answers in the wrong place anyway...
Why not look for your keys under the street light even though that's not where you dropped them?
:lmao:
God's people are talking to you, Stripey1, and this is how you respond? Put on your rubber jockey shorts because you are in for a bolt or two from the blue! Heretic.

I think the only thing that needs to be said about these idiots come directly from the book they claim to follow:
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Good point...

that's the thing about INSTANT Karma, azzig... it comes a lot quicker than regular karma...

I said Biblical Proportions because that is what the moron from Dobson's group asked for...
did you watch the You Tube I provided?

I'm not the one calling for rain to fall on Obama, ECW... that would be the Dobsonites... I am merely pointing out that the skies are clear in Denver but it is raining like hell in the Bible Belt.
Got canoe?

Excellent post, Drocket... excellent post.

Yup. Sure did. I'll admit my comment was a little off-topic. Just was trying to put in a side note.

Wouldn't it be ironic if it did rain?

Didn't they get a tornado in the Denver area the other day?

Don't know.
Did you check the weather for Denver on Friday? Intellicast.com has it partly cloudy.

I've heard that Tropical Storm Gustave is expected to develop into a hurricane next week and come ashore. Maybe we liberals can get together and pray that it hits Minnesota first.:blah:-
But y'know, I wouldn't do that. It's just fun to think about as a kind of poetic justice.

It was a joke to begin with but the left gets all enraged over it.

Enraged? Who's enraged? Certainly not me. I just don't think God spends much time on the weather. It just happens. Nevertheless, I would not be displeased if a hurricane did hit St.Paul next week. :love:
...looks like God is listening to His people:
Weather forecast for Denver for Thursday
Sunny skies. High around 80F. Winds NE at 10 to 15 mph.
Betcha that moron is on a park bench bawling his eyes out over God ignoring him.
I guess that prayer for biblical rainstorms never made it to God's ears. Maybe if Reverend Hagee had helped out...

Maybe God is wearing a pro-Obama sticker? (Cue the 'Obama-siah' rants.)

Gustav may delay the RNC...
How's prayer working out for those Bible-thumpers?

WOW, it may not have hit Denver, but Phoenix sure got hammered last night. some parts had wind justs over 75 mph. it totally destroyed the new Sun Devils practice field they just finished to the tune of 8 million. GONE in a few minutes....
Gustav may delay the RNC...

Why would they bother doing that? Katrina didn't stop them from celebrating McCain's birthday. What's the difference? :lmao:

These people who occupy the white house and lackeys that support them are the worse thing that has ever happened to the United States and the world for that matter.
They do not believe in government and their inability to run it. So why should they be given control of something that they do not believe in?
Kick all of their asses out of Washington. They have shown us that they are unworthy. Millions will celebrate when these fools leave office.
