Praying for rain criticized



Praying for rain is not politically correct, according to an atheist organization.

The Council for Secular Humanism has criticized U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack for telling President Barrack Obama that every day he gets on his knees to pray for rain.

“If I had a rain prayer or a rain dance I could do, I would do it,” Vilsack said.

Tom Flynn, executive director for the Council for Secular Humanism, said “it sends the wrong message to distraught farmers when the agriculture secretary suggests that the best response is to pray.”

I guess Vilsack and Flynn have differing views about who’s in charge here.
