REALLY????

So, the stupidity of people, especially those who do stupid things in the name of Christianity, continues to baffle me. The most recent issue? Stuart Shepard, director of digital media at Focus on the Family Action (not to be confused with Focus on the Family lest they lose their tax exempt status), has produced a video on their website urging people to pray for “rain of biblical proportions” on August 28^th during Barack Obama’s nomination speech at Invesco Field. REALLY???? Is that what Jesus would do???? Not only that, but after some of FOTF’s own people complained, they pulled the video stating that it was meant as a joke. REALLY????? Does this organization not realize how many people blindly follow every word that comes from their compound as gospel??? Or how many people follow FOTF’s word and directives over even the Gospel itself??? I, personally, do not believe that the video was put on their website as a joke. Would they really spend that much time and money to be funny? No, I think they made a stupid mistake and got caught and instead of owning up to their stupidity, they made up a lie. Where is the responsibility and accountability for an organization that has such influence?
