DEL.ICIO.USWell, it can’t hurt
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Jewish Telegraph Agency is reporting that “a thousand Orthodox rabbis are sending an emissary to Atlanta to pray for rain.”
The emissary, Rabbi Yehuda Levin, will perform an “ancient prayer ritual” Wednesday night, though the report didn’t say where.
The report says, “Levin reportedly performed the ritual in 1986, after which there was four days of rain.”
“Orthodox Jews wish to show solidarity with those suffering from the drought and other natural disasters,” said Levin.
Will it work? Who knows. But it’s gotta be quicker than waiting for the governors of Georgia, Florida and Alabama to work out a water-sharing agreement for Lake Lanier.

It’s silly, like Sonny’s prayer meeting for rain. “Prayer” has never caused or prevented a single natural phenominum.

Pat Robertson is a false minister. He is a liar, a perjurer, and a false prophet who has supported the Bush/Nixon/Rockefeller Roman Catholic Fifth Column Anti-Christ for many years.

The hurricane might have turned, but it wasn’t because of some religious mumbo-jumbo.
