Quote: Why humanity, why?

Um, jesus.  The single biggest cause of human stupidity known.

I'm guessing that prayer is going to be somewhat less effective than steering currents.

... whyyyyy?

To show god's power over natural events. 

Thing is, a cloud blew over just before totality, and that was good enough to claim success.

The adults can go ahead and do that silly nonsense, but why drag those kids into it?

I hate the idea that Irma's going to come in and destroy so much shit, but it would be a real pisser from this end if it didn't.
It's a no win situation.

Um.. do they think that  not a single Texan got the bright idea to pray the storm away??? 

It's like watching Natives pray to an active volcano to get it to stop being angry. Same diff. Primitive and somewhat chilling. Mostly just sad though. They probably can't get out of town. I do hope they left and took actual precautions in saving they and their children's lives..

I pity people who do this and really think their "praying" will actually work. 

How awesome would it be if they all suddenly became atheists because the reality of life smacked them around hard enough to wake their silly asses up to the fact that their precious "god" doesn't give a shit about them.

Did they not sacrifice a virgin? Always works, though these days it's hard enough to find a virgin.

All the pretty ones were taken. Don't want to sacrifice second choice meat to god, might piss him off! 

Ok that was bad. But seriously I didn't know a single pretry church girl virgin growing up and I lived in church town Kansas USA. Our middleschool had a "breakout" of 6th grader pregnancies my senior year, at least 20 of them.

I think that a lot of these people are just looking to meet so that they can have sex later on; prayer is an aphrodisiac for them.  Don't you listen to Delilah?

Didn't work, fucktards.
