"Oklahoma pastor says he accidentally flooded Texas by praying too hard.

An Oklahoma pastor this week said that his attempt to remove demons from the United States had worked a little too well, causing a severe drought to turn into massive flooding.

In an appearance on the Christian Internet broadcast Generals International, Church on the Rock Pastor John Benefiel recalled how he had used a “divorce decree” to severe Baal’s hold on drought-stricken states like Texas and Oklahoma.

“There was no rain in sight, no rain forecast at all,” he said. “But literally the day after we first used this Baal divorce decree in 2007 — we declared it in a meeting together — the rains came. And we ended up having more rain between February and June of 2007 than any other 12 month period in history.”

I fail to see how or why this is supposed to be newsworthy. People say silly things all the time, but it doesn't mean those things should be reported in the news every time they're said.

Raw Story occasionally has some good info on it, but it also has a lot of silly-season crap. Admittedly, I found this mildly amusing, but no, it's not newsworthy.

I agree that it's not newsworthy. Just an amusing current event posted to make one shake their head.

Well I think it's an open and shut case: he prayed for rain. It rained.

Now, to further demonstrate the power of prayer, I'm going to pray that someone will post something off-topic in the debate forums.

Uh oh, looks like I prayed too hard too.

Now if he could just pray too hard for war to end, poverty to end, and all hungry people to be fed, we'd really be into something here.

You must pray it a lot...
