But Jesus-H.-Christ-God-Almighty-on-a-Crutch, it's people like this that makes me never, ever want to give it the benefit of the doubt.
What kind of souless, amoral f*&k do you have to be to think this way?
Rev. Bill Shanks, pastor of New Covenant Fellowship of New Orleans, also sees God's mercy in the aftermath of Katrina -- but in a different way. Shanks says the hurricane has wiped out much of the rampant sin common to the city.
The pastor explains that for years he has warned people that unless Christians in New Orleans took a strong stand against such things as local abortion clinics, the yearly Mardi Gras celebrations, and the annual event known as "Southern Decadence" -- an annual six-day "gay pride" event scheduled to be hosted by the city this week -- God's judgment would be felt.
“New Orleans now is abortion free. New Orleans now is Mardi Gras free. New Orleans now is free of Southern Decadence and the sodomites, the witchcraft workers, false religion -- it's free of all of those things now," Shanks says. "God simply, I believe, in His mercy purged all of that stuff out of there -- and now we're going to start over again."

"The most curious social convention of the great age in which we live is the one to the effect that religious opinions should be respected." H.L. Mencken
In response to your article, not all Christians are religious people. Real Christians have a relationship with God. This in turn manifests itself in loving others, and sacraficially giving to others out of that same love. The reason we have so many problems in this world is the selfishness of human nature. Until the selfish nature is dealt with, by repentance, we will have more of the same kind of problems in this world that we live in. Blessings, Zabad.
