That’s what the Louisiana State Senate believes, anyway.

Proposed by Republican member of the State Senate Robert Adley, here’s a choice exceprt from the resolution:

In times of great distress and need, we, the people of this land, have always turned to private, public, and corporate prayer. A Statewide Day of Prayer provides each of us with a powerful opportunity to humble ourselves before our Almighty God. The citizens of Louisiana are urged to pray for a solution to this crisis, each according to his or her own faith, to pray for God’s continued guidance and protection, and to join in the observance of a day of prayer, seeking God’s blessings upon both our state and nation.

Sarah Palin, America’s favourite nutcase loose-cannon, concurs, with this sage tweet:

“Gulf disaster needs divine intervention as man’s efforts have been futile. Gulf lawmakers designate today Day of Prayer for solution/miracle”

It’s exactly this sort of nonsense which is costing America its premier standing in the world. If all this prayer fails to achieve anything, you can bet they’ll all get busily back to blaming it on Obama’s inactivity, rather than blaming God for his inactivity.

the only way prayer is "useful" is that - like a placebo - it can be used to focus one's mind on the problems at hand. And if one actually THINKS about problems there's the potential for someone coming up with a solution.

I sometimes 'sleep' on a problem. basically letting my brain work on it. and yes, there have been times when I wake up with a solution.

there's lot's of "if's" in the the praying thing, however.

that moron palin will not be doing much thinking as this is something alien to her.

for most of these sort of idiots prayer is just wishful hoping. yes, they ARE waiting for SuperMan to come save the day. sad but true

this is one of the reasons I don't waste time trying to convince stupid people that using and improving alternative energy is a good thing. they just don't get it and they don't care.

find the smart people and work with them.

smart people make their good luck, stupid people pray

It might be that they are proud to be ignorant but it may just be the natural tendency of the ignorant to that that they know everything.

Part of being ignorant is not knowing or having any sense of how much you don't know.
