About as funny as the superstitious Christians killing all the cats in Europe before the plague hit.

Really? Because I don't find killing of cats that funny. :| All superstitions are silly but some are more dangerous than others. Being reasonable > Cargo and rain prayer > killing people and animals because of superstition

Meh. There are lots of reasons to vilify Perry, but this isn't one of them. Praying for rain won't do any damage, I suspect, unlike the rest of the Republican agenda. Too bad they don't just pray about everything instead of what they are doing.

I'll give it a 99.999999999% chance that it is going to rain in Texas within the governor's lifetime, therefore he can say that his call for prayer has worked. Rationalization...delightful. :D

Global warming is the problem for Texas. It has been experience one of its worst droughts in records, a drought lasting at least 3 years. It is kind of poetic justice, since most people in Texas are against antipollution laws and deny the existence of global warming.

They do, they really really do. Well, maybe not conservative or libertarian atheists, but certainly progressive atheists care, because any call to a deity is a refutation of the progressive's view of himself as center of the universe and highest possible life form.

I love how you guys just totally make up this horseshit. Do you honestly believe what you say?
