Focus on the Family: Pray for Rain at Obama's DNC Speech
Focus on the Family producer Stewart Shepard asks the group's followers to pray for rain during Obama's speech at Invesco Mile High stadium during Obama's Democratic National Convention speech. The clip was pulled by the group this morning, but it has shown up on YouTube again.
Shepard: "You might ask, now why would I pray for that? Well, I'm still pro-life, and I'm still in favor of marriage as being only between one man and one woman. And I'd like the next president who will select justices for the U.S. Supreme Court, to agree..."
Watch it, AFTER THE JUMP...

Now I feel a little bad that for the last several days I've been praying that a certain presumptive Republican nominee get a sudden, uncontrollable bout of diarrhea in the middle of his acceptance speech.

How can people be so easily brainwashed to believing in god (or the devil, for that matter?)

These guys really have the nerve to support McCain with this on their front page?
The Permanence of Marriage
We believe that the institution of marriage is a sacred covenant designed by God to model the love of Christ for His people and to serve both the public and private good as the basic building block of human civilization. Marriage is intended by God to be a thriving, lifelong relationship between a man and a woman enduring through trials, sickness, financial crises and emotional stresses. Therefore, Christians are called to defend and protect God's marriage design and to minister in Christ's name to those who suffer the consequences of its brokenness.

You prayed for rain during the DNC convention and got nothing. Actually you got a Hurricane during the RNC convention. GOD doesn't love those who wish ill on other people.

Let's hope ALL of Focus on the Family's prayers are answered this way!
