Gaia 0, Jehovah 1.
Since Polistra has joined in the prayers for rain in Georgia, she figures a public display of gratitude is called for!
In earlier times, a story like this would have been written as a competition between two gods.
The Emperor and his rich cronies worshipped Gaia by denying water to the people, thus sacrificing the people to a handful of Sacred Clams.
The people, having absolutely no power to change the emperor's mind, prayed to Jehovah for mercy, and Jehovah answered.

Update: I thought I was being just a little bit metaphorical, thought I was stretching things just a wee bit for the sake of parody. Nope, you can't get ahead of these Commies. Via Media Research Center:

The View's Joy Behar considers prayer a "distraction" from achieving scientific results which would be better achieved by praying for a fix for global warming. On the November 14 show, the co-hosts discussed Georgia Governor Sonny Purdue's prayer service for drought relief. Whoopi Goldberg surprisingly defended the Governor, but Joy Behar fretted about the "separation of church and state," and hinted the Georgia residents should be praying to Al Gore instead: "Well, they need to be praying to people who will fix global warming and take care of the environment because that's more realistic."
