Salon: Fundies Say Katrina God's Vengence on NOLA

[joemurphy]

"So when Hurricane Katrina hit land yesterday, we knew it was only a matter of time before we'd be hearing from the lunatic fringe again. And now, here it is. In an email 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 email 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 email 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."

1. Fuck the fundies.

I'm so sick of them. They can go straight to the hell of their own devising!

:puke:

[carpetbagger]

2. Funny, I thought it looked like Hugo Chavez as a fetus.

Too bad Pat Robertson was too busy to pray it away.

[villager]

3. and Biloxi, Miss?

These are sick, sick, sick people...

[Cha]

9. Did God Smite Lot's house,

too?

The World would be a nicer place without the insanity of hypocrites!

[Sandpiper]

4. Cuckoo, Cuckoo

:crazy:

5. I left abortion out of this poll...

6. I was waiting for this. I knew some group of nutbags would do a Falwell

How boringly predictable.

[no_hypocrisy]

7. What were you expecting? Deferring to science and global warming?

Bet that means that thunder and lightening is God yelling at us too.

[Reverend_Smitty]

8. This is just disgusting

I don't understand how people who go around calling themselves Christians can go off and spout such ridiculous and hateful comments. Here's an idea, if you really want to be like Christ, get off your judgmental asses and go down to Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama and actually help those in need. These people make me sick

[tsuki]

10. Is this the same bunch that found St. Mary on a grill cheese and rye? eoq

[KittyWampus]

is this satire?

[KittyWampus]

11. is this satire?

[KittyWampus]

12. is this satire?

[Goldeneye]

13. One big stinking LOL...Loons

Lord have mercy! What does looking like a fetus (a crazy stretch at that) have to do with anything? Looks like a dog upchuck after heating too much Easter ham to me. Does my interpretation count.

[Matariki]

14. sure. it's not global warming, it's abortion.

and while we're at it, let's stop teaching science in schools. man!

[theHandpuppet]

15. So God's revenge is killing the little children of NO?

Yeah, that sounds about right for these lunatics.

[Sandpiper]

18. No, God's revenge is to kill the poor and the homeless

Who couldn't afford to leave the city or had nowhere else to go.

:eyes:

[I_Make_Mistakes]

19. Well then all those red fundie states in her path must be doing

something wrong, right? How many red states vs. blue states physically (not emotionally) suffered this disaster?

Somebody has to keep pointing out this stupid logic.

[evlbstrd]

16. I'm hoping for some real f'in' retribution.

On a case by case basis.

[Endangered Specie]

32. Hmm that wasnt the case I was thinking of...

use your imagination.

[evlbstrd]

33. Just trying to avoid some unjust justice of my own.

Actually, Google image search was kinda dissapointing.

[tanyev]

17. All of the states that got hammered are also full of fundies.

Fundies that may not appreciate the idea that their devastation is merely collateral damage from a judgmental god.

[Roland99]

20. Jesus Christ...these people are fucking lunatics

[Just Me]

27. Yep.

They are mental.

[Roland99]

28. Fund-A-Mental cases

[wli]

21. That's it. Something HAS to be done about the fundies.

Britain and the US have all kinds of policies for dealing with "radical clerics." Now they need to USE them!

[TroglodyteScholar]

22. So what about the devastated areas of MS and AL?

That's some of the most fundie territory there is...and it gets devastated every few years. The fact is, these idiots will see whatever they want to see and ignore whatever they don't want to see.

[Southpaw Bookworm]

25. That's the gambling

Gotta shut down those dens of iniquity one way or another.

[cssmall]

23. Fuck them.

And, Limbaugh had the fucking gall to say we (the left) are going to make this a politic issue? Fuck them. Fuck everything they stand for. Fuck the God they hold sacred. The Bible says that after the coming of Jesus that all covenents prior to his life were broken and that he would let humans make their path and be saved if they truly believe.

There is a place in the pits of Hell for these idiots. Let them gloat over a disaster that could not be stopped and joyfully exhault the Lord's destruction of 10 abortion clincs. Fuck them.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

24. You know what?

I'm glad they've started spewing their bile.

Let the world see what we've created and let them take precautions not to make the same mistakes we have. An extremist is an extremist no matter how you try to dress them up or whose name they invoke.

This crap in the heels of Pat Robertson's call for Chavez's assassination should resonate with a few people.

Yes, that's right world, they are saying that the death of the elderly, the children and all the others is their gods punishment for abortions being performed near them.

Hello? Are you fucking whack jobs listening? This is not what Christianity is supposed to be about!

[tyedyeto]

26. What the Fuck?????

A hurricane looks like a fetus? Just Like the World Trade Center on 9/11 happened because of gays and abortions in this country? Get real!!! This is a natural occurance, not cuz some folks saw Virgin Mary in an underpass. God didn't do this to piss people off.

[belle]

29. Hey, fundies, I spoke to God personally today, and He has a message for

you. Ready? Here it is:

"Shut the fuck up, assholes."

luv,

binky

[ellie]

30. The Fundies need to FUCK OFF!

I have had just about enough of these people.

[Endangered Specie]

31. Would it be wrong of me to have wished that all the fundies

would be the ones drowning and starving in place of the poor folk who are suffering there now?

[nonconformist]

34. These people are batshit insane. nt

[stevietheman]

35. People who are so stupid as to say sh*t like this...

ought to be treated the same way Robertson wished on Chavez. Heck, they're already brain-dead... might as well disconnect their bodies from life support.

[Mr_Spock]

36. OMG - Satan's children just had to open thier flithy little mouths

These folks are so sure that Hell exists - do you know why? Because the inside of thier heads is full of hatred and filth - a true glimpse of Hell on Earth...
