Praying for rain
August 9th, 2008 at 09:44am Pat Cunningham
 
The fine folks at Focus on the Family, one of America’s premier theocratic organizations, are trying to get like-minded people all across the fruited plain to PRAY for torrential rains in Denver on the night of Aug. 28.
The objective is to ruin Barack Obama’s big speech at an outdoor football stadium.
Well, heck! Why not go all the way and pray that a storm of biblical proportions washes away him and his heathen followers and all their homosexual friends? After all, it says on the Internet that OBAMA IS THE ANTICHRIST.

Stuart Shepard of FOTH is a comedian with a message. He wasn’t asking for pain and suffering on non-believers however. ….and if it happens to rain, will Pat become reconnected to his faith. Will he become a believer? Regardless, I ask for God’s favor on such a talented pundit. Blessings. I do believe Pat is older than Abraham.

I am praying for rapture.
Please Jesus, have mercy on those of us who despise what your followers have always stood for and take all these holy-roller, pro-life, war-loving Christians into the warmth of your bosom so that the rest of us damned fools can begin to make a human society that is free of their greed, their arrogance, their injustice, their wars and their bigotry.

Amen, brother.

Wow Red, thanks for reminding me that only Christians are capable of greed, arrogance, wars and bigotry. Ho Chi Minh wasn’t a Christian too was he? Refresh my memory.

As I’ve always said:
Give me an honest athiest over a good christian any day of the week.

I watched the video, and it reminded me of how much love Christians have toward their fellow man.
Whether tongue in cheek or not, I will guarantee you that there will be those that will pray for rain and how it does come down in droves.
Yes, the Christian love is always felt in those times of need. I love it when an organization like the Focus on the Family help perpetuate that love through prayers as this one.
I love when people try to justify the actions of Christians by bringing in brutal dictators as a comparison. The ends justifies the means, I suppose. But in the end, it shows the hypocrisy of those Christians.
It appears to be that Stuart Shepard is the Ann Coulter of the FOTH organization. Why would any Christian ask for others to prayer for such a thing? And why would any Christian defend that prayer, hoping that god would fulfill it?

I love atheists who seem to think that if we had no Christians, that the rest of the world could make a society free of greed, injustice, bigotry and wars….like Mr. Vladamir Lennin Redrover.

About 7 minutes into this:

George Carlin presents a pretty good argument against the multitude of Doofi such as Stuart Shepard
9. Kaus | August 9th, 2008 at 9:41 pm
Barack Obama is a committed Christian according to his own web site. So I guess that makes him part of the Doofi….or a liar…take your pick Hokum.

Just because you’re a Christian doesn’t make you a Stuart Shepard Christian. I’m a Christian, been one all my life. But I’ll never become a Stuart Shepard Christian.

Listen, Kaus.
If Stuart Shepard and his fellow pro-life Christians were REALLY opposed to abortion, then they would have been at the forefront of a movement to boycott the Beijing Olympics.
The Beijing government is using that event to legitimize and glorify its many brutal policies, including forced abortion.
So why didn’t Mr. Shepard propose that Christians pray for rain in Beijing on 8/8/2008?.
12. Kaus | August 11th, 2008 at 11:26 am
Red, I don’t recall seeing Stuart Shepard supporting or condemning the China Olympics. I do know that there is an interest in international missions including China. I will say that Mr. Obama’s late term abortion policy is quite horrific and is worthy of making a statement however.
Anyways…..so what….he prays for a little rain. I bet you have no problem with the Code Pink gals making fools of themselves disrupting a speech….
I don’t understand why you are so anti-China, when you have posted very pro Socialist and Marxist regimes elsewheres…..??

Kaus: Here’s what Obama says on late-term abortions:
“…I have repeatedly said that I think it’s entirely appropriate for states to restrict or even prohibit late-term abortions as long as there is a strict, well-defined exception for the health of the mother. Now, I don’t think that “mental distress” qualifies as the health of the mother. I think it has to be a serious physical issue that arises in pregnancy, where there are real, significant problems to the mother carrying that child to term. Otherwise, as long as there is such a medical exception in place, I think we can prohibit late-term abortions.”
Anyway, voters to whom abortion is an overriding issue — a distinct minority, by the way — aren’t going to vote for Obama in any event.

And to continue with the Socialist and Marxist regimes that some appear to support, I point in the general direction of one Charlie Black. Black being a major adviser to McCain has never considered a communist, socialist, dictatorship, or rouge nation to be a problem when it comes to accepting money from them for his work as a public relations consultant.
Everyone can be bought and paid for, even those that are the most “patriotic and conservative”. As the old saying says, “Money talks and Bullshovine walks.”

You just do not and will not get it, Kaus!
There is a difference between real socialism and the totalitarian regimes that call themselves socialist, like the Peoples Republic of China and the former USSR and its satellite nations, …
just as there is a difference between real Christianity and the bigoted organizations that call themselves Christian, like the KKK and Focus on the Family.
The scriptures clearly indicate that Jesus Himself believed in socialism and his earliest followers acted on those beliefs.
Here is the quote from Acts 4:32-35:
4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
4:33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
4:34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 4:35 And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
In a campaign speech in 1912, Eugene V. Debs, a real Socialist put it this way:
“What is socialism?” [Debs asked rhetorically] “Merely Christianity in action. It recognizes the equality in men.”
There are more things in heaven and earth, Kaus, then are dreamt of in your philosophy. [apologies to Will Shakespeare]
