Wow. Does it get any more childish, immature, or insulting than this?

First of all, the fact that these "Christians" are praying for it to rain on someone else's big day just says "petulant children." I mean, can you get any more immature? "We don't like that you support women and GLBT citizens, so we're going to pray for it to rain on you." That they claim Christ supports their childish behavior is deeply offensive.

But it's even more insulting than that. As I'm typing this, I'm sitting in an apartment in California - a state that, like many other places in this world as our climate changes, is suffering from droughts that threaten the state's crops and cause even more uncontrolled wildfires. And California's got it easy drought-wise compared to other places in the world, where entire populations are threatened by lack of rain.

If these so-called "Christians" are inclined to pray for rain, perhaps they should pray for rain where it's needed instead of praying for it to fall on the people they politically disagree with. But, of course, that would mean they put the needs of suffering human beings over their political stances against women and GLBT citizens, and we can't have that.

They are heretics.
