Comments on Praying for Rain

I almost feigned concern until I remembered that the god they are praying to doesnt exist.

I said it before: I want it to be overcast and rainy right up to the moment Obama walks on the stage. Then the rain stops, the sun breaks through the clouds, a sweet warming wind, much like a cozy blanket, sweeps through the arena and then hosts of heavenly angels sing. Finally a loud booming voice fills the sky "This is who Almight God chooses for your President".

How WOULD Fox news spin that?

I like the sound of this. Lots of people pray for "unexpected, unanticipated and unforcasted rain", and when that doesn't happen, all of those people come to the conclusion that God actually favors Gay Marriage and Abortions, right?

Please forgive the spelling errors and Stranger, getting fucking spell check already!!! GRRRRRRR!!!!

I want the sound of Obama's voice to send the audience into carnal ecstasy, whereupon the stadium becomes a pit of frenzied fornication and golden calf occultism. Unlike @2, I just want Fox to get riled up.

Actually, now that I think about it, if people are praying for rain during the Democratic convention, are they going to stop praying for lower gas prices? That was just starting to work!

The funny thing is these people probably think Obama is arrogant and presumptuous.

Dan,
Look, one doesn't have to believe in God or the weatherman to wish for rain at Obama's acceptance speech. Clearly, these people are goofy. But, I have to admit that I find it hilarious that they are praying for rain. If the shoe was on the other foot, ie. praying for rain at McCain's acceptance speech, I think I would hear you laugh. Cheer up it's only a publicity stunt.

That's really sad. However, I just want to put in a plug for all the non-scary Christians who are super pro-Obama. I've been talking to a ton of politically liberal Christians who are all about Obama.

If it rains, it ain't gonna be because of prayer.

Personally, I like Sherman Alexie's take on why Indian rain dances always work: They don't stop dancing until it rains.

Is it okay to ask people to kick that guy in the nuts? Is it okay to ask people to kick that guy in the nuts on a certain day, before a speech by the presumptive nominee, here at Mile High Stadium? I'm not talking "kick him in the nuts until they no longer function for reproduction" nut-kicking, just good old fashioned "this guy will piss blood for a week" nut-kicking.

I have my own prayer:

Holy Stranger Staff, howelled be thy names,

Please write a comprehensive guide to policy desires of both presidential candidates, showing step by step why Obama is better. Please include a reason why oil companies are not using the current land available to them, and what benefit they would have by the current proposals by the republicans to allow more offshore drilling. Also, where each candidate would most likely raise taxes and why (since both most likely will)?

Using this holy guide, Stranger Staff, I hope to smite mine and thine enemies (and my republican family) who still wants to vote McCain.

Your humble servent,

OM

Ok, he can pray for rain all that he wants, as long as I can pray for lightning to strike his fat ignorant ass into a pile of smoking cinders.

@12: I think you meant to say:

Would it...

Would it be...

Would it be wrong...

...to ask someone to kick that guy...

Would it be wrong if we asked someone to kick that guy... in the nuts?

Fuck the message, the production and editing of that thing are dogshit.

Actually, I'd prefer to see a hail OF canned hams - that would put them fundies right off their nut.

Any truth to the rumor that David Vitter will be giving McCain a golden shower at the Republican convention?

Nice pleated pants...strike that...kinko's outfit, douchebag.

What he's asking his followers to do is a sin, according to their Bible. I hope when they ask and do not receive, it dawns on them they ask with wrong motives. (or something like that.)

We won't support spine-less NO-Bama and will re-defeat him in November!! Go Hillary 2012.

"Of course if it doesn't rain that's OK too because it's all up to God". Wow, cunning no-lose plan, Einstein. Did you think all this up in the shower (or as they say in France, la douche)?

Would it be wrong for us to pray that someone drop a house on that dipshitfuckwad? Like now?

It is going to rain like a motherfucker on Obama's speech. It's going to rain like this.

Which will make me puke, but whatever it takes to win.

OMG I thought you were kidding about the canned hams - but he really said that! Once again you slay me Dan.

They need to keep focused on praying gas prices down. PRIORITIES, people.

Wow. I'd have become a Christian long ago if I'd known that Jesus would be my bitch.

There tax-exempt status needs to go bye-bye...

That's not even Mile High Stadium.... *facepalm*

I meant their*

I've fallen victim to the idiocracy...
