I was born and raised in Texas so I’ve seen it. Millions of people today are praying that Dorian turn away from land, and treating those people with mockery or condescension because they believe it could help is part of how the overly secularized Left has lost lots of voters.

Well, perhaps silence is better in response to the delusional. Just let them say their prayers and go about your business of boarding up your house and leaving town.

So your hope here was to have the Bahamas devastated? Because that’s almost worse than what Trump did with 🇵🇷; this “praying for the storm to miss me” wasn’t at all “praying for it to miss everyone.”

It’s the hypocrisy. Don’t tell me to join the group of those praying for less devastation of a hurricane and also praying in support of the president. You cannot be a Christian and support him. You cannot. He is inherently evil.

No, we just think prayer doesn't replace action. I think your pink himalayan salt lamp needs adjusting.

Prayer is a perfectly valid way of opening lines of communication between us and the Divine. It can bring comfort and strength in times of trouble, but I don't believe the Divine responds to prayer by sending a hurricane toward People A instead of People B.

Not sure what you’re trying to say about Texas. Where I, too, was born and raised. Can you clarify?

The important point however is that it won't help.

The belief that praying to alter the weather in this century is the problem.

When a presidential hopeful says we should pray, or use our thoughts, to make a hurricane go away, it’s time to stop taking that candidate seriously. And when you want to demonize those who don’t follow any religion, it’s time for you to bow out.
