Re 379: Ah, this antediluvian god is full of unpredictabilities. He maketh the rain to fall on the just and unjust equally. Presently, he is making no rain in fundie areas, like Oklahoma and Lubbock, Texas.

Must be time to curse the rain god, since prayer hasn't helped.

Or time to toss another virgin into the cenote to gain Tlaloc's favor. The lack of cenotes in the Panhandle may contribute to the drought.

Jesus didn't say the rain fell equally on just and unjust. Might as well get the quotation right. Any Christians know that the answer to a request is quite likely to be "no." Even Jesus prayed in Gethsemane that he be spared his coming ordeal, but that he would accept God's will in the matter. As usual, he is the model for Christians on that issue. Christians do not automatically assume God will do their bidding; that would violate His omnipotence, and make us God.
Just what pleasure do you get out of mocking Christians, or "fundies" as you so cleverly call them? How does it benefit you, or anyone else, for that matter?
