Katrina, God, Justice

Okay, the Religious Right has the interesting habit of blaming bad things on God. That is, when something nasty happens to the country, they say, it’s cause the Big Guy In The Sky is punishing us for our sins. Thus, after 9-11, the Rev. Pat Robertson announced that the terrorists were the fruit of Feminism and Liberalism, and then, more recently, Rev. Fred (“Kill a Kweer For Khrist”) Phelps claimed that American war deaths in Iraq were the Lord’s judgment upon us for tolerating homosexuality.

Yet, consider the logic . . .

All of these terrible things happened when the nation was actually voting for conservative Christian figures. The attacks of 9-11, the war in Iraq, and now, the horrific “act of God” known as Katrina all occurred at the precise moment when the nation was ruled by the Religious Right . . . when the most homophobic administration in the recent history is in Washington . . . and when Christian fundamentalists stalk the streets hunting down proponents of Gay marriage, evolution, and stem cell research . . .

Ergo, judging from the all too abundant evidence, the Lord God Almighty hates Republicans and Evangelicals, and sends fire and flood to scourge those nations and peoples who support them.
