Water Main Break Floods Dallas Data Center

miller60 writes "IT systems in Dallas County were offline for three days last week after a water main break flooded the basement of the Dallas County Records Building, which houses the UPS systems and other electrical equipment supporting a data center in the building. The county does not have a backup data center, despite warnings that it faced the risk of service disruption without one."

    Are you just trying to insult sincere believers with this smear? Because that is NOT how praying works. No SERIOUS Christian actually tries to backup data by praying to God, okay? So I don't even know what you're trying to prove with your bigoted smear against sincere Christians.

    In Texas, we are proud of our faith. But that does not mean we use fath to backup data centers. What we're proud of is the work that God has done in our lives, and the healing power He has brought to those in need.

    Let me just ask you this: have you ever read any serious works by any serious theologians about the nature of God an prayer? Heck, if you had read C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity, you wouldn't be spreading this toxic lie about Christians and data backup methods. (Of course, I wouldn't recommend disbelievers read that today -- Mere Christianity has been superceded by much better, more solid theology.)

    How about taking Christians seriously for once instead of making stupid, uninformed jokes about them?

    Posting AC because of the massive anti-Christian bigotry on Slashdot.
