The next day/night there was hardly a patch of land in the whole state of Georgia that did not have some amount of rain land on it's soil.

 

Praying for rain a day before rain is predicted by SCIENCE is not a miracle, moron!  Gosh!

I am praying for sunshine for the next two days.  You are welcome. 

And making a nieve statement like that also is no leap.   Either I did not say it or you did not read it but RAIN WAS PREDICTED IN THE SAME WAY by Science or by the Weather Channel and meteorologist for months but the key thing was it never came.  It was ALWAYS Predicted to be somewhere between 30% to 60% chance of rain but it always never materialized as they predicted. Cherry Picking this one day out and saying it was nothing special just shows you weren't living there at the time and experiencing it.   

 

There was even, a couple of weeks before the called Prayer day, a few days where the weather folks and scientist predicted the chances of rain to be 70% and one day 80% yet the rain fizzled out in Alabama and never came even with the high percentage of chance.

So no one prayed in GA up until that day?

 

I am confused about the whole prayer thing. Seems that some people think that if you pray then God will intervene.  Others say that God does not get involved in our lives like that. Like the whole free will thing. If prayer does work, why only sometimes? Why do you have to pray to God for something he should already be aware that you need? I mean either he can make it rain and just doesn't want to, or he can't make it rain. Either way wouldn't that make him either a non caring God or an impotent one?

 

What about people who pray for the life of a loved one? I mean why pray for anything if you believe that everything is part of Gods plan? Why wouldn't you and other believers just leave him a lone and let him do what he wants. Do you not trust his judgement and decisions?

 

There are just to many ifs, ands, or buts with the prayer issue. It is just not believable.
