Ferguson,Ebola, and ISIS - all God's judgment on the USA


[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]


Hagee, who heads Cornerstone Church, added that threats from Islamic radicals and ongoing unrest in Ferguson, Missouri are all part of God's judgment on the United States in response to Obama's policies.

Lesson-Don't piss off God, He doesn't fuck around. Funny. Hagee never said anything about that hurricane that destroyed New Orleans, the Iraq War, planes flying into towers, etc., etc. I guess God is just a Republican-type of guy.

one has an audience, a flock, it's even more of a thrill for them. And generally they use religion as justification, for eons, it's the SOS over and over again. Why people listen to these jerks is beyond me ... I guess they just have a lot in common.

the adults who teach this frame of mind to children, and thus pass it on from generation to generation.
If you catch them early enough, the chances are you've got them hooked for life. Not very many
manage to escape later on in life.
