Re: britney needs mental help – LMAO
Re: Don – wow, youre a winner.
Please Perez, you are smarter than that. It's hard to believe that you believe in the god crap. There is no god Perez, and religions are full of lies.
I was praying the whole state would turn into a purple turtle and crawl away. But it didn't. Where was God, I ask you, where was God?
Re: Jess – Actually, it rained the next day in most parts of N. GA. Not saying that it was because of the prayers (since the news had predicted rain for about a week), but prayer can't hurt!
Im in Atlanta and YAY for the rain!!!
Why does prayer only seem to work on things that already have a high probability of happening? Here's a good test for you, round up all the people in GA, no, in the world and have them all pray for an amutee to miraculously sprout a lost arm or leg and see what happens. Then we'll have some good data on the usefulness and efficiency of prayer.

OMG PEREZ, DO YOU STILL THINK ZEUS THROWS LIGHTNING BOLTS OUT OF THE SKY??? IT'S CALLED A DRAUGHT CYCLE, GROW UP!!!!!!!
Thank God! Thanks for thinking bout us Perez!!
Re: Grace – May God have mercy on all of you who do not believe in Him.
Its a good thing we dont practice "An Eye For An Eye" ,or all you guys who are saying these horrible things would so be thirsty an d waterless! If I were you I'd be thankful for God just for that reason!!
So if God controls the weather and makes it rain, shouldn't we also condemn God when a tornado, flood or earthquake kills a loved one?
Seems that we should being that he made it happen.
Re: johnny –
F-YOU
My, my, Perez. You do have a heart after all. This Georgia girl thanks you for thinking of us. The Power of Prayer - too bad those "Hollywood types" don't use it.
Some of you people are just assholes. He prayed and it rained 2 days later. Not enough though. If it doesn't rain again then the water in Atlanta, Athens and other areas will be shut off in about 60 days. Instead of bashing people for Praying take a look at the seriousness of this situation. What would you do if you ran out of water??? Stop being selfish and bashing the state of Ga when there is actually something serious going. Thanks for posting this Perez though some dumb bitches just want to hear about britney it's nice to know you have an idea of what the F**k is going on in the world. Even if it is in the little state of Georgia.
Re: richard – How do you think a cancer tumor can just come out of a person head without medicine. It did to my cousin. He and I know how it when away. God answers prays. He does not answer ever single pray. If some one was to pray to win alot of money. He would probably not do that because money is evil.
Because it was the prayers that did it…
Re: britney needs mental help –
You're an idiot. The state was in the worst drought in the history of the state of Georgia. So, yes, rain was a big deal. Moron.
Re: DarDar –
How does PRAYER make people look like rednecks? Your statement made you look like a dumb, judgmental, asshole.
yay, i'm from ga. thanks for the post perez. you are da man.
thanks, perez! we really need it!
Re: Jessa – Atheists were not hoping that it didn't rain. it would have rained regardless. every atheist I know is kind and not vengeful. We are not cultists who hope for evil things to happen. If anything, we apply the same logic to "religion" as we do to other things in our lives. Are you saying that the atheists prayed and prayed for drought? why did it take so long to rain after the praying began? it didn't rain due to weather patterns, and it ended up raining due to weather patterns. Not because some magical, personal God answered YOUR prayers. It doesn't prove that atheists are wrong or that christians are right. This is not a religious event…. it's about weather. What do you say when tornados wipe out entire towns or when hurricanes devastate hundreds of thousands of lives or when tidal waves wipe out entire coast lines or when earthquakes swallow the earth? That people didn't pray…that it happened for a reason? You're thinking teleologically and that is just stupid. ps–i'm glad that it finally rained. i know that many of the states in that area have been suffering.
Re: FunOne – How do you know that the "hollywood types" don't pray? You're being pretty judgemental and your assertions are completely unfounded. Just because someone is left winged doesn't mean that they don't believe in God, religion or the power of prayer. Don't be so closed minded on something you know nothing about.
My grandmother, a devout Christian, had an inoperable brain tumor at 50 and through the power of prayer it left her body and she lived to be 86. There was no medical explanation for it. Who is to say why prayer doesn't always work? Who are we to question God? I am not a redneck. Far from it. I lean to the left, grew up middle-class, black and have a college degree. My grandmother grew up poor. Wealth or the lack of it has nothing to do with the heart and soul of the person. I had a near death experience and I literally saw the light and walked away unscathed from a totaled car. You can't tell me God doesn't exist. I was surrounded by a bright light while my car crumpled all around me and it wasn't the sun. I pray that God will work a miracle in the lives of the non-believers but even if he doesn't, blessed are those who believe and have not seen.
perez, that's sweet that you thought of georgia, thanks for looking out for us
your the best.

Re: sk – I would explain the instance of your cousin's tumor going away as matter of probability in another self-limiting ailment. That's what cancer does, it either kills you or goes into remission. There's always that 50% chance of life or death, just like the draught there's always a 50% chance of rain or no rain. Now for an amputee to regrow a limb, a non self-limiting ailment with a 0% chance of happening, that would TRUELY be a miracle and proof of a divine being's existance. But as you say, god doesn't answer all prayers, like people who pray to win alot of money because money is evil. So i guess based on the logic that god wont answer evil prayers, then asking for a lost limb is evil as well since god has NEVER answered a prayer like that.
WOW!!! OMG!!! THERE ARE DEFINATELY SUPERNATURAL BEINGS WITH MAGICAL POWERS AT WORK HERE BECAUSE HONESTLY, WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF IT EVER RAINING IN GEORGIA????
No more rain in Kennesaw =(
Just shitty wet pavement!
MAKE IT RAIN ON DEMMM HOES!
Thanks for concern and prayers Perez..
Thanks for concern and prayers Perez.. From a Georgian, located in HARLEM, GEORGIA!!
AJC is a crappy news source. You should link to news sites that deserve the publicity.
Re: Ask this sinner – Many cancers arise due to defects in genes that normally suppress tumor growth, yet sometimes a suppressed gene will spontainiously reactivate causing a tumor to shrink or disappear. Without these genes which specifically suppress tumors, our bodies would be completely covered with tumors which is the case with many genetic abnormalities, all due to imperfect DNA replication.
I am very glad that Georgia finally got rain….but are we living in the dark ages?? Do we really feel the need to remind an allegedly omniscient, omnipotent god that things are getting bad and that he needs to send a rain cloud? No wonder the rest of the world thinks we're idiots!! It would have rained anyway. All they had to do was wait long enough. MORONS!!!!!!!!!!!!
YAY! I hope this helps Georgia out a lot. Thank the Lord for the LORD!lol
Re: simone – your language sounds very educated indeed
Re: DarDar – FYI it rained the very night that our governor held the prayer vigil. I hope that you have something in your life that you do believe in and I wish you peace. You appear to be a very angry individual. We do have rednecks in Georgia and they are proud people. Sorry you are so misuided.
Re: ladylindsay – What is wrong with believing in GOD? People don't think we are idiots because of our ability to choose our religion or our non-religion. People have died fighitng for the right to worship how they deem necessary. I don't understand why in the 21st century you criticize a group of people for being appreciative for our many blessings. I am afraid you live in the dark ages my friend.
Re: Jess – God does not control people. He can't make ruthless dictators feed hungry people and he can't make a person make healthy choices or pursue education to better themselves. When I pray I ask for strength to handle difficult times and wisdom to know how to help others. As sure as you are contemplating your quip response to my message miracles are happening all around the world. God's blessings are all around us.
Actually you are wrong my friend it rained the next day after the first prayer! To hell with all you haters!
GO DAWGS! I love my state
May it be slow and easy, so it can all soak in. I hope there aren't torrential downfalls that won't soak in, just flood and flow away. They need long, slow, gentle rains over a goodly period there. May God grant them this.
Awe……Thanks for remembering what's going on in ATL. Thank God for the rain.
Smooches!
Re: britney needs mental help – Get a life… stop trying to sound like you know what's going on in the world…. what have you been doing to help darfur or Tibet… why don't you quit being such a pompous ass and worry about what's actually going on here… have a great day and GOD BLESS:)
It did rain at my house in Atlanta the day after the prayer meeting. You fuckers in Alabama and Florida better ready though, since your water comes out of our dam you will need your own prayer meeting when we close it. There's no way they are going to let a major American city go dry so you can have your mussels.
Re: christian in training – Not really helping your own cause too much there. The governor and his staff have been working hard behind the scenes in Washington to lower the amount of water released. I have no problem with his prayer meeting. What I do have a problem with is the playup of this in the media. I am a college graduate who goes to church once or twice a year. It pisses me off a little to get lumped in with the uneducated redneck that runs around hollering "OHHH LAWDDDDDDDD!!" about every little thing in life.
Re: ERIC – Go read the establishment clause in the Constitution. I think it can clarify where our country stands on religion you stupid jesus freak.
I live in southwest Georgia, and after the prayer vigil we had 3 different days of rain, amazing isn't it?
Re: nocahoma – The respect you demand for your faith lends shelter to extremists of all faiths. If I must respect you for your faith then I must respect osama bin laden for his as well. "Whats wrong with people believing in God?" you ask, well heres a few examples: stonings, suicide bombings, the inquisitions and 911. Sure let's not forget all the people who died fighting for the right to worship how they deem necessary, especially those brave men who hijacked the planes on 911. Youre absolutely right in that respect because thats exactly what they were doing, fighting and dying for their right to worship how THEY DEEMED NECESSARY, and everyone else (according to their religion) were meant to die and goto hell which was a bonus. All this happens even in the 21st century as you are questioning why someone would criticize peoples faith and religion in this day and age. It's the non-questioning and criticizing of peoples faith and belief that renders atrocities like these to continue, even in the 21st century. So actually we are still in the dark ages as it were.
You americans are so fucking ignorant and selfish…. my hometown hasn't had anymore than 3 millimetres of rain in 3 years!! So maybe listen to worldwide news instead of just your own! There's a whole other world out there! Get over it
it rained for 2 days but its still not enough!!!
thanks so much for posting this! its really important that people realize whats going on. Our lake are down 19 feet, which is the lowest they have ever been, we cant take baths, only short showers, we cant water out plants, we cant wash our cars…..I only hope that rain does keep coming our way.
too bad it didnt rain today!
Re: WOW – um…it rained today, so there you go…freak
Re: even in the 21st century – I am not so bold as to demand anything. We prayed for rain. I am not ignorant for being a christian and I don't need to be educated in the history of world religion. Praying for rain and murdering people in the name of faith are two completely different things.
