They appear to have neglected to include their local Native Americans…..I think that term is politically correct….to join in a rain dance. Another faith-based effort.

I always wonder why these primitives don’t pray to lose about forty pounds apiece.

We could solve this nation’s energy problems if we harvested body fat from members of the Southern Baptist Convention and other evangelicals.;-)

Hey Vince!! Are they the alien nation one ought to get to know better??

Maybe we can charter a few buses out of Williamsburgh (Bklyn) so they can all pray for rain.

D__, I knew you were going to say that (I’m psychic).

Are you sure you’re really Jewish?

I’ve never argued with a Jew who couldn’t make a better show than this.;-)

Most of these people who think they can bargain with God (we’ll get down our knees, then He’ll be nice to us) don’t actually live in the countryside.

Most of the South’s Bible-thumpers live in metro areas, now. They couldn’t fill all those mega-churches out in the sticks, could they?

The definition of “really Jewish” is still up for grabs. However, if you happen to encounter some one, alone in room, debating with him/herself aloud, and having a difference of opinion, the likelihood is that that individual IS!!

I do not fit that definition.

As far as having a discourse with God well, I think Tevya’s character, in “Fiddler” was well written in that respect.

Beyond that is the beginning of a discussion which requires the kind of time and space which I would prefer not to busy this column with.
