Divine intervention sought for Wexford farmers as Bishop Nash prays for an end to the rain
With Wexford having endured biblical rainfall in recent weeks, struggling farmers are seeking assistance from a higher power in a bid to see an improvement in the weather.
Following on from a specially organised Mass in Kilrush by Fr Joseph Power to pray for an end to the relentless rainfall, Bishop of Ferns Ger Nash has also called on parishioners across the diocese to join with him in praying for favourable weather, while expressing his sympathies with “those whose work or livelihoods depend on the weather conditions”.
"God our Father, we turn to you the source of all goodness and grace,” he prayed. “We come before you with humble hearts, seeking your divine intervention in the rhythm of the seasons.
“Bless us with the favourable weather which we so badly need at this time, especially for our farming community, and all others whose livelihoods depend on it.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

A few days ago, John Lithgow recalled meeting a guy whose dad was a Baptist minister in a small town who forbade dancing and rock and roll music - similar to the movie "Footloose"
Starts at 2:30
And talking about Christian ministers forbidding things; In a city that bills itself as "Superman's hometown," a pastor is calling on his flock to fight "the enemy" in the place where Satan has been waging his attack: At the public library.
Quote:The pastor began his sermon with a warning.
Satan was winning territory across America, and now he was coming for their small town on the banks of the Ohio River in southern Illinois.
“Evil is moving and motivated,” Brian Anderson told his congregation at Eastland Life Church on the evening of Jan. 13. “And the church is asleep.”
But there was still time to fight back, Anderson said. He called on the God-fearing people of Metropolis to meet the enemy where Satan was planning his assault: at their town’s library.
A public meeting was scheduled there that Tuesday, and Christians needed to make their voices heard. Otherwise, Anderson said, the library would soon resemble a scene “straight out of Sodom and Gomorrah.”
Similar conflicts have rocked towns and suburbs across the country, as some conservatives — convinced that Democrats want to sexualize and indoctrinate children — have sought to purge libraries of books featuring LGBTQ characters and storylines. Republican state legislatures have taken up a wave of bills making it easier to remove books and threatening librarians with criminal charges if they allow minors to access titles that include depictions of sex.

Tucker Carlson denies evolution: there is no evidence, it's just a theory, God created humans and animals
