Georgia Governor Prays for Rain
    #7631158 - 11/13/07 03:39 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

ATLANTA - What to do when the rain won't come? If you're Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue, you pray.

The governor will host a prayer service next week to ask for relief from the drought gripping the Southeast.

"The only solution is rain, and the only place we get that is from a higher power," (not from water vapor & dust?) Perdue spokesman Bert Brantley said on Wednesday.

Perdue's office has sent out invitations to leaders from several faiths for the service, set for Tuesday.

Perdue has several times mentioned the need for prayer — along with water conservation — as the state's drought crisis has worsened. Over the summer, he participated in day of prayer for agriculture at a gathering of the Georgia Farm Bureau in Macon, Ga.

Perdue, a Baptist, has enjoyed strong support from Georgia's Christian conservatives. (Ignorance loves company? Stupidity clumps together?)

The Southeast has been suffering from an intense drought in recent months that has threatened supplies of drinking water. Georgia has been locked in a battle with Alabama and Florida over how much water should be sent downstream from the state's dwindling reservoirs.

Governors from the three states reached a temporary agreement after meeting with Bush administration officials in Washington.

The prayer service will be held outside the state Capitol on Tuesday. Unless, of course, it rains.

"Then we'll move it inside, thankfully," Brantley said.

you should see the "authorities" that ride around the suburbs, handing out tickets for watering plants, yards, etc.

and the neighbors who report their "criminal"/well watered neighbors

Those seem like charged and condescending words, OC. Clearly this isn't really a strong form of intolerance or hatred, yet there is still aversion/distaste/intolerance in your words. I'm curious as to why that is?

Yes this form of local ignorance pisses me off, but when taken to the national level, God-spoke-to-me Bush backed mostly by the Christian fundamental right led to the War on Iraq based on lies and hate of Islam resulting in hundreds of thousands dead, allies turned against America and 1.2 trillion in treasure gone forever.

And the repercussions are only beginning.

Generally, I don't care what others do/believe, but when my country is being led to ruin based on illogic, superstition, fanatacism and irrationality, I get slightly peeved.

He is ashamed before the blade of grass or the blowing rose.Man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time

A number of months back there was a major drought in Australia (do a search here). After praying there was serious flooding and many thousands were left homeless along with much property damage.

Proof of God's sense of humor.

Didn't they invite the Native American community to perform a rain dance? These guys at least have a tradition of manipulating weather. When Christians manipulate the weather it is considered witchcraft I thought. Didn't anyone tell them about accepting the will of God?

I'm in Miami, it rains all the time, sometimes heavily, but it's not raining into Lake Okeechobee where our drinking supply collects.
