I don't think this crap is really ever going to stop. At least not with our educational system.

Utah Governor Declares “Weekend Of Prayer” For Rain

Salt Lake City’s NBC News affiliate reports:

With hot, dry weather in the immediate and long-term forecasts, (Republican) Gov. Spencer Cox on Thursday called on Utahns to pray for rain this weekend as Utah’s drought conditions continue to worsen.

In a pre-recorded video, the governor called on Utahns of all faiths to join him in a “weekend of humble prayer” from Friday through Sunday.

“We need more rain and we need it now,” he said. “We need some divine intervention. … By praying collaboratively and collectively, asking God or whatever higher power you believe in for more rain, we may be able to escape the deadliest aspects of the continuing drought.”

How about piping some water in from the east coast, where they have had much more rainfall than needed? Why is that so hard? We have a million miles of pipelines going every whichaway in this country.

1. Prayer is a pipeline to God

...that's the only pipeline they need.

2. Stop having so many kids

We cause global warming which is the root cause of these worsening droughts.

3. The best thing I can say about this is 'it can't hurt'

The worst thing is ... a great many religious people meet a lot of the definitions of the word insane.

5. yeah, it can't hurt the chances for rain

and it can't help the chances for rain either

It sends a subtle pro-religious message which does no one, except those who profit from believers, any good

And all it takes is one coincidence (rain comes after some big group prayer) to reinforce the bullshit

I know, I know

6. Kinda wonder if this is timed to coincide with predictions for upcoming rain

Hopefully someone checks the weather services to see if the timing was purposeful. I wouldn't put it past him.
