This time the hilarity is from Stuart Shepard, correspondent for the Focus on the Family network (that's run by that guy, whatsiname, who said he'd never ever endorse McCain--ecxept he might), who muses on bothering God about prayers for some biblical rains to wash away Obama's convention speech in Denver this month. After all, he says, what's a little rain when the institution of marriage and millions of unborn lives are at stake? It's a laugh a minute. Check it out!

The only thing that is a joke is your mentality. Obama is our hope for change, and if you don't want change at this point, you are obviously living in a bubble.
As far as the video....isn't gluttony one of the 7 deadly sins? I've never said I was black, but sometimes I wish I could say I wasn't white, and this guy in the video is the reason.
Fat, rich and white. I wonder if this guy has ever had to worry about being fired, or even killed for what he looks like or who he loves?
You ignorance exudes!
Hate is caused by fear, fear is from the unknown, the unknown is a product of ignorance and ignorance is bliss. Please educate yourself!
Whaddaya say we all get together and pray an asteroid hits Colorado Springs and sends Dobson and his ilk to see their Lord? Heaven's supposed to be a wonderful place, so we'd only be asking God to bless them. And the dust might keep Obama indoors, too.
Why is it that Let's Focus on SOME (hint, hint) People's 'Families' think that smarm = charm?
As for that hoped for, prayed for torrential rain, what a fantastic scheme - if they do get weather disasters, they can then blame it on gays. Worked for Falsewell and Robertson.
I wonder if they're gonna 'focus' on McCain's nasty divorce, adultery and re-marriage? Some "fambly values" folks. Not. Selective, at best.
How unfortunate for the immature followers of Christ to be misinformed by the partisan sentiment behind the "boyish humor". I believe in the power of answered prayer. It is why I am continuosly praying that God will not only remove (by whatever means HE deems appropriate) those who are morally corrupted and corrupting, not only from the highest positions of government but especially from church leadership. Do Christians really believe spiritual wickedness in high places refers only to the secular world? Hypocrisy is the most cherished sin within the church and the most effective tool for driving people from seeking God. Don't forget about the lesson behind "a wolf in sheep's clothing" as well as "wheat and tares"!
