Do Evangelicals actually believe what they say?

a few weeks ago James Dobson, chairman of the board of Focus on the Family, called for Evangelical Christians to pray to God for rain, to rain out the Democrat's acceptance speech in the outdoor stadium in Colorado. He was asking GOD to intervene in a nasty, negative, political way.
A few days ago I was writing an email to Cenk and he started talking about just what I was writing him about. He was joking but I'm not.
For decades the Evangelicals have thought of themselves as "the chosen ones". They are the ones doing God's work, they are the ones praying to Him, and you and me are the sinners. Of course, we always knew that was nonsense.
But here we have it, a few weeks ago James Dobson, chairman of the board of Focus on the Family, called for Evangelical Christians to pray to God for rain, to rain out the Democrat's acceptance speech in the outdoor stadium in Colorado. He was asking GOD to intervene in a nasty, negative, political way. Maybe that's what Evangelicals think "following Christ" means, but to us truly spiritual people, we recognize that kind of thinking as small-minded, spiteful thinking "in the name of God". Not what I'd think Jesus was talking about at all.
Well, it turned out that the evening was perfect for the democrats, not too hot, not too cold, not cloudy -- perfect!
Now, God seems to be sending 2 hurricanes for the Republican Convention, distupting their convention. I think God is clearly giving them exactly what they deserve. I think He showed them His decision. Either they believe what they talk about or they don't.
Now, maybe they'll use this opportunity to pause a minute and think about being deceived by these false men whose only fruit has been more poverty, suffering and death to innocents. They are false men with false lying tongues and the Evangelicals have been deceived.
That' just the way it is and they should all know about it.
