James Dobson’s religious right organization Focus on the Family recently posted a video on its website urging people to pray for “rain of biblical proportions” during Sen. Barack Obama’s acceptance speech in Denver. The video has since been taken down allegedly due to complaints. The religious right, to paraphrase the bumper sticker, is becoming less religious and less right.
UPDATE: Oh, this is sooo good. I now believe in a just, merciful god. After Dobson’s puerile call for prayers asking God to deliver flash floods that would “swamp the intersections” around Invesco Field in Denver “two minutes before [Obama's] acceptance speech begins,” it appears that Hurricane Gustav is set to dampen the GOP convention in Minnesota on Monday. This goes beyond poetic justice. This simply has to be direct divine intervention.
