Okie governor asks citizens to waste time and energy while fires rage on |
http://www.atheists.org/flash.line/prayer19.htm
Just days after ordering a state of emergency in 76 drought-hit Oklahoma
counties, Governor Frank Keating is now calling for all citizens to pray for
rain this coming Sunday.
"In the wake of our sweltering weather conditions," Keating told the
Daily Oklahoman newspaper, "I am asking that all Oklahomans of all faiths
put aside Sunday to pray for rain, which we need desperately."
I don't want them wasting time praying, I want them to work to put out the
fires. I live 12 miles from Oklahoma, and the fires are getting a little
too close for comfort. I just walked outside and the smell of smoke is
wafting through the air. Hopefully it was a fireplace or wood burning stove
I smelled.

The poor cretin's really screwed. He's not rejoycing as Jesus orders.

I just found out the fires are burning about 2 miles from here. Oh goody.

There is a chance of rain today. If it does indeed fall, I'm sure they will
credit their god with it. Why the supposedly omnipotent god allowed the
fires to begin in the first place won't even cross their minds.

Minds are a requirement.

Best pack up and be prepared to move out. Stay safe.

We just got a nice thunderstorm, and everything is soggy. I think we'll be
OK.
