Fischer prayed “aggressively” to “take authority over” Hurricane Harvey

It’s been a while since I paid any attention to the zanier parts of the religious-Right, the scamvangelists and “prayer warriors” and other loons who somehow don’t convince everyone else to become atheists the moment they first encounter them. What’s one of their more amusing stars, the American Family Association’s Bryan Fischer, been up to lately?

I’m gonna pray aggressively and I want to make it clear that I have no directive from God that this is gonna do the trick. I’m not saying that. I’m praying a prayer of faith. We’re gonna take authority over the storm in Jesus’ name. We’re gonna rebuke this storm in Jesus’ name and all the demonic activity that might be behind it. Remember: Satan came to rob, kill, steal, and destroy. His energy could be behind this storm just as his energy may have been behind the storm that threatened the life of Christ and his disciples.

Well. I wonder how that went?

I think I’m gonna go back to ignoring him now. There’s just so much you can say in response to someone who’s that whacked out of their gourd.
