rAmen.

Is the warm sacred sauce tomato-based?

And does that mean Fettucini Alfredo is the Anti-pasto?

God develops facial tics?

So what happens if two people pray for rain and another two pray for NO rain?

By the way this is one cool rabbi, he doesn’t believe in an afterlife and I remember him enjoying his Mcdonald’s cheesburger while I ate a Filet of Fish sandwich.

“Storms hit elsewhere in the Southeast, injuring at least nine in Tennessee.

In Kentucky, a tornado hit a rural stretch of the southeastern part of the state Wednesday afternoon. No injuries were reported.

“It was real intense,” Laurel County Sheriff Fred Yaden said. “The winds were really strong, and the rain was coming in gushes.”"

This irresponsible praying by the government of Georgia has to be stopped.

“Dear God, let it rain” is not nearly specific enough, and would never pass legal muster. Perhaps those injured in Tennessee can file a class action lawsuit against the praying masses of Georgia for the damages, injuries and trauma they suffered as a direct and irrefutable consequence of those prayers.

Obviously, the prayer should have been phrased far more specifically and responsibly:

“Dear God, please deliver between 2 and 5 inches of rain, in increments not to exceed .03 inches per hour, beginning in a period not to exceed one week, and proceeding for a period not to exceed three weeks, not to extend beyond the territory of the state of Georgia, and not accompanied by any wind, hail, or lightning. Please note, God, that any injuries or damage occurring as a result of any precipitation you in your mercy decide to allot to the sovereign state of Georgia is not in any way the responsibility of the religious people undersigned, and that this prayer can in no way be interpreted to endorse flash flooding, soil erosion, car accidents, leaky roofs, or ruined leather coats. In your name we pray, Amen.”

As it stands though, “please rain, that is all”, this looks like a liability nightmare. I mean, IF the prayer actually worked. So… religious Georgians, did the prayer actually work?

”What is the governor doing besides praying?”

There were rumors of the release of a whole lot of butterflies.

That explains the typhoon in Bangladesh!

But the bible—in fact Jesus himself— says exactly that (without the Santa reference). The fact that it contradicts itself elsewhere is hardly a ringing endorsement for its divinity.

What, your God can’t even write a simple, declarative sentence? That’s just sad.

There were rumors of the release of a whole lot of butterflies.

now if it will just rain like hell for a couple months straight (40 days and nights would be a good start), then we might get our reservoirs back up to normal.

Like most Pastafarian rituals, the Ritual of Rain requires a feast that must begin at a time chosen by the FSM Himself.

The FSM will signal when the time is right for the Feast by extending His Noodly Appendage and touching a cloud, causing the blessed cloud to shed its rain. You must then collect a potful of the blessed rain water, add salt, then bring it to boil. Add your preferred sacred pasta as listed in the sacred texts of our Prophet: Saint Boyardee.

The sacred pasta will be ready when the Miracle of Pastal Levitation occurs. Blanket the sacred pasta in the warm embrace of the heated sauce. Then rejoice in the gaze of His Noodliness as you partake in His Bounty.

rAmen.

You have a right to pray at home, at church, or even in public, and I will defend that right. What this man as Governor does not have the right to do is say, “I’m Baptist, and I’m going to pass laws based on my Baptist beliefs.” That’s what we are worried about. This government prayer a step in the wrong direction.

Again, why couldn’t he lead his prayer session at church?

And please, don’t try to play Christians as the wounded victim. There have been too many instances where freedoms were denied for the non-believers.

Whether there is a god or not is something that the government shall have no part in FORCING upon the people. Not as long as the First Amendment exists.

Nobody is challenging your right to get down on your knees and pray in public (though I believe the Bible admonishes people about such things, ironically), just don’t do it at the taxpayers’ expense.

If the Governor of Georgia started holding Muslim prayer services in the Capitol building, how long do you think it would be before thousands of Christians would be outside the doors howling and baying for his blood? Works both ways, you know.

I saw a sign outside a veterinarian’s office the other day “Be careful, you can be so open minded your brains will fall out”

Maybe if you didn’t support this un-Christian war you would have actually gotten some rain.

If carbon is not the culprit in recent warming, then the whole attempt to blame man for global warming is equivalent to praying.

so instead I’ll make a joke about how if flipping the switch doesn’t turn on the light then being an electrician is the equivalent to being an alchemist.

or how about “If red is really green then you should go at the next red light”
