Pat Robertson Attributes Georgia Rain To Prayers and God

"The 700 Club" aired an interesting report today about the power of prayer. After lakes and rivers in Georgia have been at record setting lows, Governor Sunny Perdue gathered state leaders, ministers, and concerned citizens in front of the Georgia capitol to pray for rain. Rain came within 24 hours, and as "CBN News" anchor Lee Webb stated assuredly, "It was an answer to prayer". "700 Club" host Pat Robertson backs up this declaration, adding, "The Lord seems to be the one who controls the weather." The scientific community tends to think rain is a product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that is deposited on the earth's surface, forming when separate drops of water fall to the Earth's surface from clouds. But hey, what do they know? It's just as plausible that a mythical creature high in the skies shoots rain from his fingertips.

Well, first, who does he think caused the drought?

And second, has he never read about Noah? Maybe these Georgia people better be careful what they wish for.

Pat is absolutely, positively 100% right, I prayed for it to stop and it did. Praise the Lord

Here you go Pat, keep on praying because there's two things we really need to survive that we are running out of, oil and water.

meteorology at his christian madrassah or
whatever..­.thank 'god' for making me a heathen...

[timbyrnes]

I think Noah did that too.

Sony Perdue read the weather report perdicting rain the day before he made his very public prayer.

But it stopped raining. Oh, well, one of these days it will rain some more, and then the fundies can take the credit for that too.

I am reading all these snide comments, but don't forget that the 700 Club has the whopping IQ of, yes, you guessed it, 701. 699 of them have an IQ of 1, and one person with an IQ of 2 managed to sneak in by pretending that his IQ is also 1.

MAYBE HE SHOULD ATTRIBUTE THE DROUGHT TO GOD'S DISPLEASURE WITH THE HYPOCRISY AND BIGOTRY IN THE STATE.

Wow...God sure took his sweet time, didn't he? Maybe He was hesitant to help out the Georgians because "Hot-lanta" is so full of the evil sodomites. And, of course, even though God sent the rain, it just wasn't enough. It's never enough for Mr. Robertson, is it? Never enough rain. Never enough money from the rubes who hang on his every word. Never enough.

IT'S CALLED THE WEATHER CHANNEL !!!!
Saw Rev. Barry Lynn discuss this, made the clearest point- Governors are hired to Govern, preaching is a preachers job. Granted I have no problem with people coming together in prayer- why not ask the leaders of the local religions lead the prayers? A little holier than thou? Will he be crowned Pope of Georgia too? Perhaps sainthood for his 'miracle'??
Jesus, Mary & Joseph, what A F*cker up joke this is.

In 1988, Robertson said God told him to run for
US Pres., but God forgot to tell him to win.

God must sure hate all those people in Africa. Oh, wait, they forgot to pray!
