You won't believe what this little fundie child told my sister.

[SeanQuinn]

She received this from her mom, so I don't blame the kid for just repeating what she'd heard. She's only 7, so she's not quite opinionated. My sister however, going on 9, would have none of it.


This mother told her daughter that some people in New Orleans follow Satan. I can't believe it. Just because this woman is the Minister of Liturgy for the "house church " and thinks she knows it all and because, at a time of the year, girls bare their breasts, like in other cities in the world, NEW ORLEANS DID NOT FOLLOW SATAN!

What a warped worldview.

[belle]

1. She's probably thinking of voodou. It's still really stupid.

[htuttle]

2. Satan doesn't go to New Orleans

He's too afraid of the Loa to go there. That's their territory.

:evilgrin:

[electropop]

3. Does she not realize that her Georgie boy

_is_ Satan?

[SeanQuinn]

6. Ironically, her opinion of * has changed for the worse.

Yay. But her worldview is still retarded.

[renie408]

4. I saw some freak on the news

saying that New Orleans was the modern Soddom and Gemorrah (sp).

Freaks.

[howmad1]

11. This kids mama.......

......probably saw a picture of jesus on her french toast this morning, saw the virgin mary on a pancake yesterday morning and thinks * is the second coming. Yikes, what moronic lunatics get to vote in this country.

[stopbush]

5. Tell her that her grandma must have followed Satan - that's why she

died. In fact, anyone who dies musta been following Satan.

Satan (ha!) What a concept.

[SeanQuinn]

9. I don't agree.

But I am a Catholic. I'm looking into converting, when I'm a little older, to the UCC. It seems to fit me a little better.

However, I don't believe that Satan's a stupid concept. It's just how people exploit it.

[xchrom]

22. there's a very ancient sect in iraq

who believe satan is a saint.
their a christian sect -- but it goes to show a different opinion.

i can't believe that any christian wouldn't have a problem with satan -- why would god create a competitor?

and once you start thinking about ''all knowing'' -- it gets really flimsy.

btw -- i'm a christian.

[Catherine Vincent]

7. It's to bad your daughter didn't tell the girl that most of the people

baring their breasts are from out of town.:-)

[SeanQuinn]

10. I wish she would've. But my sister [not daughter, haha] is only 9.

I don't even think she was thinking of the whole (.)(.) scenario as much as she was thinking of..what a nutjob! We all are God's people, etc etc.

[LittleClarkie]

8. I think she was talking about a certain segment that practices voodoo

Not those who bare their boobies.

Even so, beside the point re: the tragedy and why would you tell that to a 7 year old?

[Behind the Aegis]

12. And that shows her mom's greater ignorance.

Practioners of Vodun don't follow or even worship Satan. The Loa are ancient African gods, some tied into the Catholic saints. I am sure there are a few who do worship Satan, but it would be pretty rare.

[JDPriestly]

13. I remember going to New Orleans for

church choir events as a teenager. There are lots of devout churchgoers in New Orleans. What nonsense. How sad. How ignorant.

[SeanQuinn]

17. My teacher went back there to see LSU in the Fiesta Bowl or whatever..

and it was on a Sunday in the Superdome and everybody who had come to see LSU and Oklahoma filled the Church in their game-going clothes.

NO is a devout town.

[kiraboo]

14. My Catholic neighbor's kids told my kids they were going to burn

in hell because they weren't Catholic. This stuff doesn't even bother me it's so ridiculous. Pity the children whose parents teach them this garbage.

[SeanQuinn]

16. I'm Catholic and I'd never ever say that.

Oy. Ned Flanders-ish.

[kiraboo]

24. I was raised as a Catholic too. Most Catholics aren't as rabid

as these people. However I have a slew of Catholic relatives and friends who are shrub supporters on the abortion issue. These people have been in my face for years and my response has been to leave the Church entirely.

[Demobrat]

25. I had little Catholic friends tell me that when I was little.

So I asked my mom if it was true. She blew it off with a casual "Oh, WE don't believe that" and I never worried about it again. In fact, that was when I began to feel sorry for my Catholic friends, and the fear they were forced to live with.

[kbm8795]

15. Maybe we need someone to develop

A Bush Administration collection of voodoo dolls. Proceeds from the sales could go to hurricane relief.

[EMAN51]

18. My minister kicks ass

The minister of my episcopal church here in the Santa Clarita Valley used her Sunday sermon to discuss the hurricane and when she talked about rarely watching the news (said she stopped during the Vietnam War), she mentioned she was drawn to CNN during the aftermath of the hurricane. She quickly shut it off after hearing a story about God's wrath against a sinful city. She said all cities were sinful because that is where people live and we are all sinners. She's awesome.

[mitchum]

19. Ask her why christian churches were also destroyed

seems that her "almighty" god could be a little more precise than that

[NVMojo]

20. someone needs to tell her mom that in Elko, Nevada, we have

an adult entertainment district city ZONE! Guess what's there? Legalized prostitution. And maybe I can send her a menu card for one of the brothels. Then she can help me decide why god passed up punishing my town.

[Skittles]

21. I consider this a form a child abuse

filling a child with such f***ing crap

[Clark2008]

23. I would have asked what those "horrible sinners" in Gulfport and

Buloxi did to deserve their towns being flattened, too.

The fundies are making this about the "sins" of New Orleans, conveniently forgetting that two lily-white, allegedly "good" towns got smacked, as well.

[deadparrot]

26. Uh...I don't think New Orleans followed Bush.

:shrug:
