The Bible says God will answer prayer and Pat believes it. On what authority to you claim to have a better understanding of God than he does?
The words of Jesus ...
"... And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
... And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask of him."
Matthew 6:5-8

ABC News just said the storm has unexpectedly changed course more to the south. Looks like Virginia Beach will get only a glancing blow. The shield is working!
I'll bet you that Pat Robertson has already fled. Probably right after that prayer vigil.

Professor shoots himself to protest Trump
WaPo blames Trump for the Hurricane.
All these have me convinced that there are sufficient idiots on both sides. I wonder if Pat and the professor will drag down the IQ of their respective sides.
The people who wrote the bible wanted people to believe there was an omnipotent being in order to control the masses. Seems to be working.
I dunno... I see a lot of people in this thread doubting God's power.
