After two very public prayer days or, well, prayer weekends lead by Rick Perry in Texas concerning the drought and the economy, neither is better. Arguably, both have become worse. If the results of the drought prayer are any indication, this country's economy is about to go into full depression.
When the prayer for rain was first done in April 2011, the drought in Texas wasn't all that bad. Extreme drought had ravaged about 15% of the state. Now, as of September 2011, it has ravaged over 80% of the state, and a major wildfire has broken out.
Texans, in response (not really), have asked for Rick Perry to stop praying. They ask that he simply stop praying in general. At first thought, it may make sense that he pray for the opposite desired outcome, but this may backfire on the people of Texas who seemingly angered God over some injustice. So, Rick Perry, if you wish for another disaster to befall you, just keep on praying, but the people of Texas really want you to stop.
