Focus on the Family sees deep end, leaps off
Focus on the Family, James Dobson’s religious group that - if what they believe is true - will see 97 percent of its members burn in the fiery pits of hell while Gorgons feast on their entrails, has decided that their God has too much time on its hands.
So they’re encouraging the faux-devout to pray that it rains on Barack Obama during his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Covention.
“Focus on the Family asks people to pray for rain during DNC
COLORADO SPRINGS – A video producer for Focus on the Family is asking people to pray for rain when Sen. Barack Obama (D-Illinois) makes his speech at the end of the Democratic National Convention in Denver.
Obama is giving his acceptance speech outdoor at Invesco Field at Mile High on Thursday, Aug. 28.
Stuart Shepard made the prayer request in his latest Internet video for the evangelical Christian group.
He says he’s only partly joking.
“Sure it’s boyish humor perhaps to wish for something like that, but at the same time it’s something people feel very strongly about. They’re concerned about where he would take the nation,” said Shepard.
Reached for comment, a spokesperson for God said the deity would likely not be answering any of the prayers, due to a profound lack of existence.

So if their prayers come true, it is either a coincidence or God is really petty.
