Religious Right: Whacked as Usual

way to reach out to people in need...how christian of you:

-------------------------

An organisation of Christian fundamentalists claims the destruction brought on by Hurricane Katrina is God's judgment against New Orleans for holding festivals like the annual gay Southern Decadence party.

"Although the loss of lives is deeply saddening, this act of God destroyed a wicked city," said Repent America director Michael Marcavage on the organisation's Web site.

"From 'Girls Gone Wild' to 'Southern Decadence,' New Orleans was a city that had its doors wide open to the public celebration of sin. May it never be the same."

Unbelievably unChristian thing to say. I am literally horrified by that mentality.

What a horrible thing to say. I'm sure the think those little bitty babies who died down there and the elderly that were unable to evacuate where just sinning up a storm. This is one of the reasons I have hard time with religion. :(
