4 friends from college used to get together every day week after church for coffee and talk about the state of the world. 3 of them were staunch Republicans and 1 was a Democrat. Normally the conversation would be lighthearted and lively but at one point the argument got very bitter and angry, and split along party lines.
So the Democrat is sitting there, convinced that his friends are holding to a standpoint that is really deeply immoral, and he goes to pray. "Dear God, I know that what I've read shows me that my friends are wrong, but they won't believe me. Please give me a sign to prove it o them."
It's a beautiful sunny day, but as soon as he finishes his prayer a storm cloud races across the sky, thunder claps, and the cloud dissolves. He says "Look, it's a sign from God", but the other 3 disagree. After all, it's a summer day and storm clouds can form quickly in the heat.
So he looks down again and says "Lord, I need a bigger sign to prove to them that they're wrong. So please, God, a bigger sign." Again, immediately 4 storm clouds appear overhead, rush towards each other, and as soon as they converge a lightning bolt slams into a tree within sight of the coffee shop.
"See, God is telling you that I'm right!" says the Democrat, but his friends insist that nothing has happened that summer weather wouldn't explain.
So the Dem closes his eyes again and gets ready to ask for a very, very big sign. As soon as he does the ground rumbles and a deep booming voice sounds over the rooftops saying "He's right!"
He says "See, I told you that your argument is fundamentally immoral. What do you say now?"
"So what?" say the Republicans. "That just makes it 3 to 2."
