Columbia Christians for Life: Katrina Is God's Punishment for Abortions

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

This is the stupidest goddamned thing I have read in awhile. I read a lot of goddamned stupid stuff but this - well, see for yourself:

-snip-

In an e-mail message we just received, a group calling itself Columbia Christians for Life alerts us to the fact that a satellite image of Hurricane Katrina as it hit the Gulf Coast Monday looks just like a six-week-old fetus.

"The image of the hurricane ... with its eye already ashore at 12:32 p.m. Monday, August 29, looks like a fetus (unborn human baby) facing to the left (west) in the womb, in the early weeks of gestation (approx. 6 weeks)," the e-mail message says. "Even the orange color of the image is reminiscent of a commonly used pro-life picture of early prenatal development."

And in case you're not getting the point, the e-mail message spells it out in black and white: "Louisiana has 10 child-murder-by-abortion centers," the groups says, and "five are in New Orleans."

But why would God single out Louisiana? Other states have many more abortion clinics, and Louisiana and the other states hit hardest by Katrina all voted for the pro-life president of the United States. It didn't add up for us at first, but the Columbia Christians for Life have an answer for everything. God has already punished California with earthquakes, forest fires and mudslides; New York with 9/11; and Florida with Hurricanes Bonnie, Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne and the early version of Katrina.

The Salon piece has side-by-side pix of hurricane and fetus for comparison.

I am speechless.

****UPDATE! IT WASN'T THE ABORTIONISTS, IT WAS THE GAYS!****

Of course. :eyes:

Sometimes, it's hard to keep up.

We've just received another email from the group, and now it seems to be saying that God sent Katrina after Louisiana to prevent Southern Decadence, an annual gay-themed bash that was scheduled for Labor Day weekend in New Orleans.

The Columbia Christians for Life forwarded to us a press release from a Philadelphia-based outfit called Repent America. In it, Repent American director Michael Marcavage explains: "Although the loss of lives is deeply saddening, this act of God destroyed a wicked city. 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."

Okay mainstream Christian organizations, I'm waiting for your press releases denouncing these ghouls...

1. Disasters bring out these kooks thinking god is punishing us

just like on 9/11 Falwell and others said the attacks were because we allowed gays to live openly and so forth.

2. I comfort myself...

...by knowing that these people will go to the hell that they imagine so vividly.

[SammyBlue]

3. You expected different?

[AllegroRondo]

4. One would think an Omnipowerful God

would deal out punishment a little more selectively. Did ALL of these people have abortions?

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

11. Yeah, pretty sloppy work, "God"

That reminds me, gotta check out the Rapture sites. I'm sure there's some good reading on Katrina there. :puke:

13. He did let Lot and his daughters escape from Sodom

Of course, He turned Lot's wife into a pillar of salt for looking back, and once Lot and the girls were free, the girls seduced him because they wanted children and were afraid they wouldn't find other men to impregnate them (suffering from end-times syndrome in the beginning times?).

5. Religion showing it's stupidity again.

[Lindacooks]

6. Katrina is god's punishment for people polluting the earth.

At least that one is true.

7. A Google search with 'Columbia Christians', first hit is Army of God.

8. Maybe it's my Quaker god destroying the casinos!

Maybe she's punishing us for gambling.

My theory is every bit as likely....

9. Your Quaker God

would set up a conflict resolution meeting with the casino owners, and try to get a sense of the meeting before retiring to refreshments in the Meetinghouse basement. Tasty ones, no less.

[Patiod]

18. True, and they would be vegetarian refreshments!

12. Wrong. It's the Flying Spaghetti Monster - you should have put romano

on your pasta, not parmesan.

14. If the truth be told

God's Punishment for W!!!

15. Wait a minute....

I thought it was the gays in New Orleans!

All things will come in time. x(
