FWIW most of the state only got a quarter of an inch.

Pray again and see if you get more!

[irishtenor]

We could pray for a flood :>)

Nah, been done before.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Pray again and see if you get more!

Yeah! Lay the fleece out twice! :oP

Georgia on HIS Mind?

The last time I checked, post hoc ergo propter hoc was still on the list of logical fallacies.

[eraser2005]

I see no problem with him leading prayer for rain... but the bit about the rain being unpredicted is nonsense....

Before he did all this, most forecasts called for 30-60% chances for rain over Tuesday and Wednesday....

[Graybeard58]

I admire Governor Perdue, too bad he doesn’t seem to have national ambitions.

That's laughable. It's less than a toss up. I can do that good. It might rain and it might not.

I could care less what the athiests are mad about. They are just as bad a leftists with their selective outrage.

[alloysteel]

Who were the atheists praying to, so the rain would NOT come? Because this surely had to be a group effort....

Oh. In Georgia, the atheists are so few in number, it wouldn’t make a material difference anyway.

Or the muzzies taking offense at everything.

That is EXACTLY what the Governor should say out loud and very publicly. It would help him a great deal in Georgia.

It might rain and it might not.

No, 30% is more like 'it might rain, but probably won't'

I remember in the early 90's, central Texas was suffering from a drought. The folks in San Antonio prayed for rain, and they ended up with a damaging flood on the river through town.

[real saxophonist]

I think ‘athiests’ in these stories should be called ‘antitheists’, because that more accurately describes what they are.

[Red Badger]

Now let’s pray for a fence..............

[Graybeard58]

No, 30% is more like 'it might rain, but probably won't'

That's 30%, what I quoted was 30%-60%.

[mad puppy]

I can not believe the Gov FORCED those people to pray... oh wait.. he didn’t

I can not believe the Gov signed an official document declaring a State sponsored faith.... oh wait...he didn’t.

OK, wait...what did he do that violates the actual Constitution? I must have missed that part...

[Sender]

Is there anyone more insufferable than an atheist who just can’t stand any mention of religion?

[jesseam]

I agree with the distinction between athiests and antithiests. An athiest could not care less about God because he knows God does not exist so he ignores the issue. An antithiest on the other hand knows God exists and fights Him at all costs. Ya gotta feel sorry for them
