But Perry is taking measures to fight these blazes, and he is asking for federal help. Praying for rain, whether it helps or not, certainly does not hurt—and if he were a native American praying or dancing for rain, you wouldn’t dare be making fun of him.

Here’s the difference. People like Perry have seen to it for years that minorities get the shitty end of the stick. If, in those circumstances, people who have been fucked over time and time again cling to a belief system because it’s all they have left, then I treat that with respect.

On the other hand, assholes who want to condemn us all to a slow roasting death in order to line the pockets of their tall-hat small-dick buddies, but then come up with sanctimonious bullshit about how the lord will provide can go fuck themselves.
