Title: AU Raining Separation Dogma Post by: Soldier4Christ on July 05, 2007, 11:00:52 AM AU Raining Separation Dogma
Americans United has a problem with Alabamians praying for rain . . . during a state-wide drought that has taken a toll on tourism, ruined crops, and forced watering restrictions for citizens. Quote Alabama Gov. Bob Riley has an idea: He’s asked the state’s citizens to pray for rain. According to the Birmingham News, Riley issued a proclamation last week calling for an entire week of prayer. It began on Saturday. None of this means the governor has the right to usurp the job of the state’s religious leaders. Alabamians are known for their piety. (This is the state, after all, that elected “Ten Commandments” Judge Roy Moore to the state supreme court.) Undoubtedly, state residents are capable of looking outside, seeing that rain is needed and, if so moved, praying for it. Their religious leaders are capable of advising them to pray for it as well. There is no need for Riley to elevate himself to Alabama’s Official Pastor. Alabama is state of desparation. Much harm has already been done before the proclamation was issued. This is similar, only on a smaller scale, to saying Bush violated the establishment clause when he urged Americans to pray after the losses of 9/11. But it wasn’t politically correct for AU to criticize that “violation.” But, in Alabama’s current predicament which is far less significant on AU’s “Politically Correct Ranking System,” this is a perfectly acceptable violation to expose. Just this week, we saw AU’s silence on a San Diego school’s establishment of Islam as the official school religion. How can we blame them for missing that? They’re too busy criticizing Alabama for praying. And this coming from an organization that is run by a supposed minister of Christ, the "Reverend" Barry W. Lynn.

To find fault with an innocuous prayer proclamation, is too ridiculous for words. It's not as though Gov. Riley has called on the National Guard to monitor prayer with instructions to arrest those in noncompliance. Who other than God is able to control the weather?
The members of Americans United should merge with the ACLU. They can then end the charade, and simply call themselves 'Americans United Against God.' Job 5:8-11 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause: Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number: Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields: To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.

Although it is not an official merger the AU and ACLU have joined forces together in many battles against God and this nation. I sometimes wonder if there isn't a behind the scenes agreement between them. |
