An organisation of Christian fundamentalists claims the destruction brought on by Hurricane Katrina is God’s judgment against New Orleans for holding festivals like the annual gay Southern Decadence party.
“Although the loss of lives is deeply saddening, this act of God destroyed a wicked city,” said Repent America director Michael Marcavage on the organisation’s Web site.
“From ‘Girls Gone Wild’ to ‘Southern Decadence,’ New Orleans was a city that had its doors wide open to the public celebration of sin. May it never be the same.”
“May this act of God cause us all to think about what we tolerate in our city limits, and bring us trembling before the throne of Almighty God,” Marcavage concluded, adding a biblical citation from Matthew 5:45: “[God] sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.”
Now this is one of the reasons my belief that humanity is a stupid race unable to any longer save itself from itself proves itself.
