Focus on the Family

Focus on the Family, which claims to be some kind of Christian organization, is always doing something stupid. It's the organization run by James Dobson, and I think their stock in trade is snake oil of some sort.

Now, today, there was a video calling on the true believers (in the obviously Republican God) to pray that Obama's speech in Denver is rained out by a rain of biblical proportions.

This seems wrong at so many levels. Set the politics aside. It's a trivializing of prayer, which actually has great great value. Later in the day they claimed it was all a joke, which makes the trivialization of prayer even more blatant.

Lord, save us from your "lunatic fringe" disciples, our brothers and sisters in the faith who still do not have a clue. Bless them in all the right ways. Amen.
