Rain on Barack Obama's Denver Confab? Not Likely

Well what do you know?
The Fundamentalists prayed for rain as a sign that God disapproves of a candidate.
Rather than Denver, where the Democratic candidate was christened,
God chose to give a Hurricane to the Republicans.
How is that for a sign?!!!

James Dobson and his blind sheep of followers need to conmcern themselves less with politics, and spend MORE learning what "The Bible" ACTUALLY SAYS!
James Dobson requested his followers to pray for rain to occur on the day of Barack Obama's acceptance speech. The 1st problem here is James Dobson tried to "USE" God to put a "CURSE" on a fellow christian. In doing so, Mr. Dobson has committed a VERY SERIOUS SIN before god.
One thing JAMES DOBSON, and HIS LOOSER flock of HATE filled followers fail to understand is that God does not need sugestions a bunch of phoney poser pseudo christians to make a decision. In fact, the thought that these idiots actually think that THEY are in a position to make such requests from God demonstrates that they feel God will entertain THEIR desire to bring misfortune on what THEY SEE as THEIR enemy as per THEIR agenda, all the while assuming that if THEY don' t bring this up to God, then GOD will somehow "miss out" on a deed HE needs to carry out, but wouldn't be able to figure this out without James Dobson's help.
James Dobson, you must think aweful highly of yourself, but from what I see, you are a childish fool who thinks you have the right to manupulate God. You could be out there doing great things in Gods name, but instead you have decided to feed your own personal EGO, and attack a man who is not your enemy, and to have the nerve to drag God, and your followers into this personal vendetta of yours. May God have mercy on your soul James Dobson.

If George Bush is an exaxmple of a typical American conservative Evangelical Christian as the 2004 voting pattern suggested, so much is to be desired by the world from the American Evangelicals who is 'so' pro-life and anti-gay to the extent that ONE OF their past president was disgraced out of office for similar moral lapse.I call this the height of religious hypocrasy. If the church in America is focus enough to preach and live by the undiluted word of God in and out of their pulpit, they will not need a president to help them legislate a moral problem.The morality of Americans is a reflection of their churches not their goverment. As an Evangelical minister myself I abhor homosexuality and believe life start from conception, but I will not hold Obama(whom I support) accountable for a systemic problem that is so deeply entrenched even within the church before he came to the center stage.

I don't think August 25 is the day Obama accepts the nomination. Isn't if the 28th?

(and isn't there a 40% chance of rain on the 25th?)

I love it! The Conservative party of Evangelicals seems to support the type of situations that get girls pregnant--drunken beer fests--that potentially lead to abortions, and then they want to have a pow wow to rain on the guy that wants to address the issues of abortion, permiscuity, and general immorality by focusing on the societal neglect that fosters it. They're so used to being told what to do, who to believe in, how to vote by their pastors that many of them have no mind of their own to be able to discern the whole truth of the matter and to see right through the pretense of the Republican party--a party that loves 'em and leaves 'em, i.e., tells them what they want to hear until they get what they want and then never follows through. I'm a pro-lifer, but the only way you can really have a successful overturning of Roe v. Wade is through the meeting of the needs that then make the option obsolete.

Do we have to invoke rain on Obama (or not) as a "sign" from heaven? One would think that the Republicans finding no one to nominate but a 25-year wholesale beer dealer would have been "sign enough" for evangelicals as to what God thinks of the GOP and its agenda.
Is not one party's guy selling DWI, incarceration, drunken parenting, and addiction to the underclass a bright enough "sign"?
