You Know, For Such A Huge Disaster, The God Talk Has Been At A Minimum
I haven't heard a lot of wrath of god crap or Jesus saved the survivors BS, have you?

Strange - as the wackos tend to weigh in on everything these days.

2. I'm waiting for George Jr. to declare a "War on God"
It's gotta be coming soon.

JFK said, in his innagural "Let us go forth to lead this land we love asking His help and His blessing, but knowing that here on earth, God's work must truly be our own."

If we had been doing God's work we would have prepared the city for a disaster like this which EVERYONE knew was coming.

But I expect George Jr. to blame God for the hurricane and appropriately as is his wont, declare war on Him.

I know this isn't what you're talking about. I'm sure we'll hear about the "micracle puppy" in a few days once it stops looking like hell on earth over there, and once the evil looters are all shot.

4. If you watch the local feed there are many many survivors crediting God..
Gov asked for a day of prayer Wednesday. Ive actually been amazed by how much God talk there has been. And, Im a Christian.

Ive been amazed and happy.. Ill just clarify that.

8. I've heard of very few whackos.
Most of the 'Jesus saved me' have been individuals, not public figures.

There was a statue of Jesus that had oaks crash around it, however, with the claim that the statue wasn't affected.

12. for these KKKristians, it's the old south: don't mourn
the deaths of mules and slaves. their jeebus is the kind to bleach the world white and fluffy, smelling like downy-chemicals in connecticut.

17. Seemed to me the first day all the Pols were god-mouthing
every time I heard one on the radio it was "we are praying for you." Well, a hell of a lot of good that did, didn't it? Maybe if they had spent less time praying and more time acting some people who are dead would still be alive.

Maybe Pols should think about letting people decide about their own prayers and about themselves ACTING LIKE RESPONSIBLE PUBLIC SERVANTS..

19. I think it is because the republican christians have an uncomfortable
feeling that their god sent the hurricane to punish America for re-electing Bush.
