Focus on the Family Action pulled a video from its Web site today that asked people to pray for “rain of biblical proportions” during Barack Obama’s Aug. 28 appearance at Invesco Field at Mile High to accept the Democratic nomination for president.
The video disappeared from You Tube also, but is now back on the site.
Stuart Shepard, director of digital media at Focus Action, the political arm of Focus on the Family, said the video he wrote and starred in was meant to be “mildly humorous.”
But complaints from about a dozen Focus members convinced the organization to pull the video, said Tom Minnery, Focus Action vice president of public policy.
“If people took it seriously, we regret it,” Minnery said Monday.
They’re welcome to pray for rain at Obama’s speech. Have at it.
And I tell ya what…
While they’re doing that, I’ll pray for an F-5 tornado to touch down at the home office of Focus On The Family and obliterate it off the face of the earth. Would it be so wrong if I prayed for that?
*sigh* how about if we don’t pray for bad weather in CO – enough problems already have happened with the tornado up north, the flooding that we’ve experienced in the last week already….and my parents live just minutes away from FOTF…so please please do NOT do such things.
Besides, flooded streets do nothing to the people that are already in the stadium, they just hurt those of us who want nothing to do with any of the stuff going on with the convention, regardless of who we’re going to vote for this November!
