Telegraph – August 13, 2008:
Stuart Shepard of Focus on the Family, one of America’s leading evangelical groups, was shown in a video filmed at Denver’s Invesco Field, where 75,000 are expected to cheer Mr Obama on Aug 28, asking Christians to pray for “torrential” rain.
“I’m talking ‘umbrella-ain’t-going-to-help-you rain,” the former pastor and television meteorologist said.
LA Times – August 31, 2008:
With Hurricane Gustav bearing down on the Gulf Coast, Republicans have canceled all but the bare minimum requirements for Monday’s session of their convention, as GOP presidential candidate John McCain called on delegates to turn their attention to people likely to be displaced.
31,
and the REALITY of it is that there is NOTHING they can do until TUESDAY..
Or
BEFORE monday.
MONDAY is going to be VERY VERY WET.
No one will be able to get into the area for AT LEAST 1 day…
Even monday night..will only give information on DAMAGE, they cant deal with it UNTIL TUESDAY..
So….
it has to be Football monday, and the 3 day weekend.
“Same goes for most people who are victims of these force majeur-type disasters that occur all around the country.”
Other than New Orleans, I never said that anyone should not live anywhere. What I said was that I don’t feel sympathy for their choices.
For example, I don’t feel sympathy for someone who buys an SUV and then complains about the cost of gas. I don’t feel sympathy for someone who has a bunch of kids and then complains about having too many kids. I don’t feel sympathy for someone who never attempted to improve himself and then complains that he’s stuck in a dead end job.
So if you live in tornado alley and your house is destroyed by a tornado, what the frick did you expect to happen? I live in Michigan, but I don’t complain about the snow. I’d much rather plow my driveway than mow my lawn any day.
Of course New Orleans is different because it’s both a flood plain and a hurricane zone. People should not live there. They should get rid of the levees and let the gulf do its work. There are plenty of drier places in which a city could be built. There is no point it building it under sea level right next to the Gulf.
Yet another example of the BIGOTED agenda that Dvorak.org/blog has against Christians. Personally, I prayed for the safety of New Orleans and that Gustav would miss it entirely. FOR THE PEOPLE OF NEW ORLEANS. And it looks as if the Almighty is answering that prayer.
DVORAK.ORG/BLOG … Christians not welcome.
34,
The problem happens like this.
If you get SLAPPED for saying the wrong thing once, WHY OPEN your mouth a second time and SAY THE SAME THING.
The LOW lands of the area were developed for the POOR. the OLD town was on the SOLID HIGH GROUND, which the OLD FOLK KNEW was safe.
WHO isnt a God fearing person, with a LITTLE BIT of intelligence?
You PRAY, that Nature WONT do something…IT WAS SUPPOSED to do.
That is like building on a CLIFF, and praying they it WONT FALL. Given enough TIME, IT WILL FALL.
You might as well pray for your HOUSE BOAT not to spring a LEAK..
If you dont take care of it, If you dont Patch it correctly, IF you dont Anchor it properly, IF you dont listen to the MAJOR storm warnings…IT WILL SINK.
#34 – Matt Garrett – Personally, I prayed for the safety of New Orleans and that Gustav would miss it entirely.
Why didn’t you pray during Katrina? I bet many others did and God refused to listen… Why?
What is “prayer” except trying to change God’s mind? Seems sacrilegious to me for anything other but giving thanks for whatever miserable existence fate hands you.
And why are the people oppressed 35 miles to the West of New Orleans less deserving of God changing his mind than the good folks of New Orleans itself==or is it just a numbers game?
Prayer and thanks. Silly Hoomans.
Let’s see, a Democrat LEADER on one hand… and a private citizen on the other.
This is what passes for parity with you guys?
I guess prayer gives these knuckleheads the illusion they are doing something when they are really not. When I read “evangelical Christian” – I’m thinking stoopid!
Prayer to save one person over another??
Just plain selfish..
Lets just say that Nature/God gave a warning the first time.
“Wacko Christians”
I’ve never met any other kind really.
Hardly following the ONE COMMANDMENT OF CHRIST:
John 13:34 (King James Version)
34A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
So these FALSE PROPHETS are in fact FALSE PROFITS, POLITICAL OPERATIVES, OPERATING A ***TAX-FREE***, PARTISAN, ***ILLEGAL*** POLITICAL MACHINE !!! Seems they should get VERY CLOSE SCRUTINY BY THE IRS, AND PERHAPS ***LOSE THEIR TAX-FREE STATUS*** !!!
the one concept you see in MOST religions/beliefs is only 1 thought…
“BE NICE to each other”
Its up to us, not THEM…
