1. They boot a GOP senator out of office in 2008

:shrug:

[Warpy]

2. Since it looks like even Hatteras will only get a glancing blow

I'm sure it will be claimed that all the prayers of southern Baptists caused their god to send the storm up toward godless New England.

You know their god is too weak to do anything he isn't told to do by the prayerful.

[mrcheerful]

6. Take it a step farther to a time when God wasn't the great Santa in the sky who gave good fundies

everything the asked for. I remember a time when most religions preached that you could only pray for gods will to be done and be happy with whatever you had because that was gods will for you. Then the televangelists started telling people that God was Santa and if you sent money to them then you had a right to ask God for gifts. I remember people like my Grand father who where not into the greed feast that were outraged by the televangelists for corrupting religion, the problem was gramps generation also believed every mans God ideal was his right and he had no say on what someone else believed.
