Let It Rain

Not sure if any of you have heard about GA Gov. Sonny Perdue praying for rain. Georgia has been in a drought for quite a while now, so Gov. Sonny decided to pray outside the state house for rain. Do a search online for Georgia + rain + pray and you'll find numerous articles related to this. Most are of course vicious because some one is praying. My favorite one is as follows from Wonkette.com:

"Did you know it hasn’t rained in Georgia in, like, a million years? It’s undergoing the biggest dry spell since prohibition, doggone it. And while most politicians offer practical solutions to major economy-crippling droughts — usually public statements to the effect of “suck it up and go to law school, farmers!” — Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue is taking the more popular Jesus route to moisture. He has “called for Georgians to join in a prayer vigil on the steps of the state capitol, in the hopes that the heavens will unleash the rain.” Be warned, Sonny! Jesus may only give you locusts or cicadas, which are far worse.

While rabid atheists, who are the second most annoying political bloc behind rabid theists, are planning to protest the intrusion of Church into precious State, they’re completely ignoring the history at play here! As ABC News explains in its best 9th-grade science project tone, rain dances and other pagan rituals were not invented by Gov. Sonny Perdue:

Since the dawn of time, people have prayed for rain in some form — from the tribes of Africa to American Indians. And where prayer fails, science sometimes pulls through.

Prayer never fails, you lunatic ABCNews.com writer! Just look at how well things turned out for the tribes of Africa and American Indians."

For a slightly less biased report, check out msnbc.com's report.

What you won't find (at least not as easily) is that some time after Gov. Sonny held his prayer crusade, it started raining in GA and as of this post, hasn't stopped. But don't worry, the media isn't biased. Oh and what is that high percentage of Americans that believe in God? Yet when one man has enough faith to believe God can and will bring rain, everyone scoffs. Go figure.
