HURRICANE KATRINA DESTROYS NEW ORLEANS
DAYS BEFORE "SOUTHERN DECADENCE" 8/31/05

PHILADELPHIA - Just days before "Southern Decadence", an annual homosexual celebration attracting tens of thousands of people to the French Quarters section of New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina destroys the city.

"Southern Decadence" has a history of filling the French Quarters section of the city with drunken homosexuals engaging in sex acts in the public streets and bars. Last year, a local pastor sent video footage of sex acts being performed in front of police to the mayor, city council, and the media. City officials simply ignored the footage and continued to welcome and praise the weeklong celebration as being an "exciting event". However, Hurricane Katrina has put an end to the annual celebration of sin.

On the official "Southern Decadence" website (www.SouthernDecadence.com), it states that the annual event brought in "125,000 revelers" to New Orleans last year, increasing by thousands each year, and up from "over 50,000 revelers" in 1997. This year’s 34th annual "Southern Decadence" was set for Wednesday, August 31, 2005 through Monday, September 5, 2005, but due to massive flooding and the damage left by the hurricane, Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco has ordered everyone to evacuate the city.

The past three mayors of New Orleans, including Sidney Barthelomew, Marc H. Morial, and C. Ray Nagin, issued official proclamations welcoming visitors to "Southern Decadence". Additionally, New Orleans City Council made other proclamations recognizing the annual homosexual celebration.

"Although the loss of lives is deeply saddening, this act of God destroyed a wicked city," stated Repent America director Michael Marcavage. "From 'Girls Gone Wild' to 'Southern Decadence,' New Orleans was a city that had its doors wide open to the public celebration of sin. From the devastation may a city full of righteousness emerge," he continued.

I can't believe I live in the same country during the same era as people like this...

[trotsky]

1. Alrighty then.

So what did those little towns in Bible-Belt, Mississippi do to incur Gawd's wrath and get literally blown off the map?

[Bumblebee]

5. Just to keep them on their toes -- their bigotry was not strong enough?

[tocqueville]

10. collateral damage

[Tesla]

2. Karma sucks dude!!!

Wait till he gets busted with the sheeple!!!

[AllyCat]

3. Gosh! What on earth did Biloxi do?

These people will stop at nothing to blame everyone else for problems they don't understand. Maybe if they focused on scientific principles, they would understand what has really caused this problem.

This brand of "Christianity" disgusts me.

[Bumblebee]

8. Not a good counterargument -- they have casinos!

[Inland]

9. Casino gambling? Hell, everyone's done SOMETHING. nt

[spinbaby]

11. Gambling

God hit Biloxi to punish the gamblers. And maybe he hit Gulfport because
of slavery. That was a while ago, but not very long by divine standards.

[AllyCat]

13. I'd think these RW nutjobs would approve of slavery

They seem to rejoice in the suffering of others. Wonder how many of the 700 Clubbers have gone down there to help?

[Patiod]

16. My Quaker God definitely hit the Gulf Coast to get rid of gambling

She hates gambling. Gays are fine, but not gambling!

(posted yesterday, but it bears repeating)

[Triana]

4. I posted this yesterday but it's worth a second posting

so more will see it.

This is scarier than any hurricane or terrorist - that there are such neanderthals living among us. Egh! (and I'm NOT talking about gays when I refer to 'neanderthals' either!)

Of course we KNEW it was only a matter of time before the fundies started blaming gays for it. They blame gays for everything. Or, Clinton.

Puh.

[Flubadubya]

6. Yeah, what about that lady in curlers they had on CNN...

who said she was a "deep" Christian. Surely, God would not set this kind of pestilence upon a DEEP Christian. Somebody's lying here! :eyes:

[Hubert Flottz]

7. God's pissed at Pat Robertson for trying to get people killed

in other countries. God don't play that shit!

[ProfessorGAC]

12. What If The Wrath Of God Is Directed At Us Because Of Bush?

They didn't think of that, now did they?
The Professor

[Alamom]

15. You nailed it.....n/t

[Liberal Veteran]

14. If God was sending natural disaster for supposed "sins"...

....then we wouldn't have a civilization left.

18. Walking evangelist visits Kansas City churches

Greg Benner of Yakima, Washington, is walking across the United States to deliver the message "Repent America." A self-styled evangelist with Nazarene roots, Benner attended West Valley Church of the Nazarene in Yakima and Nazarene Bible College in Colorado Springs. His goal is to challenge Christians in the United States to lifestyles of repentance.

Accompanied by his wife, Patty, Benner began his journey in Aberdeen, Washington, and plans to finish in Charleston, South Carolina. As he travels, he meets and prays with pastors of all denominations. Now nearly halfway to his goal, he recently met with General Superintendent Jerry Porter and several Nazarene pastors in the Kansas City area.
