WELL THAT'S A SILLY THING TO SAY
Rev. Franklin Graham

"Was what happened to New Orleans God’s wrath. Since the disaster I have been asking God as to whether it was or not. Consider this. It is a general acknowledgement that New Orleans, the epicenter of the disaster, was a "sin city" which harbored few rivals. The New Orleans "southern decadence" festival which was to take place Labor Day weekend, is described by a French Quarter tourism site as "sort of like a gayer version of Mardi Gras" which is "most famous (or infamous) for homosexual displays of naked flesh which characterize the event," with "public displays of sexuality . . . pretty much everywhere you look." The city is also renowned for occult practices, particularly voodoo. Voodoo is also common in violence and crime saturated Haiti. "

So, because he, Graham, saw New Orleans as a "sin city" means God was punishing them? The hundreds of people who died, some I'm guessing were Christians just like him, died because God was mad? You all know I'm a pretty tolerant guy. I don't bash religions, but this is something I have to talk about. It's one of the things I have a problem with about Christians. Or should I say the evangelical Christians. Not all, not most, not even half, but some do believe this stuff. Not long after 9/11 Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell were on t.v. talking about how the attack on the WTC towers was because of Liberal civil liberties groups, feminists, homosexuals and abortion rights supporters.

"The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way -- all of them who have tried to secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say, 'You helped this happen.'"

WTF? So in there eyes, God is mad at these people so he takes it out on over 2,000 innocent people? That's asinine. I know I'm taking a risk by posting this seeing as how most of you are Christians, but I just can't go along with crap like this. As I said, I'm not bashing Christianity. I don't do that. Besides, Voodoo didn't cause Katrina and homosexuals didn't cause 9/11. Evil, nasty, goat loving Muslims and Hindus did.
