Katrine: God's punishment for abortion-the fundies are back at it!

Looks like for 9/11 we had Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell blaming gays, the ACLU, feminists, and liberals for vausing 9/11. Now we got this nut job group claiming the hurricane looks like a fetus!
------------------snip----------------------------------------------
"So when Hurricane Katrina hit land yesterday, we knew it was only a matter of time before we'd be hearing from the lunatic fringe again. And now, here it is. In an email message we just received, a group calling itself Columbia Christians for Life alerts us to the fact that a satellite image of Hurricane Katrina as it hit the Gulf Coast Monday looks just like a six-week old fetus.

"The image of the hurricane . . . with its eye already ashore at 12:32 p.m. Monday, August 29, looks like a fetus (unborn human baby) facing to the left (west) in the womb, in the early weeks of gestation (approx. 6 weeks)," the email message says. "Even the orange color of the image is reminiscent of a commonly used pro-life picture of early prenatal development."

And in case you're not getting the point, the email message spells it out in black and white: "Louisiana has 10 child-murder-by-abortion centers," the groups says, and "five are in New Orleans."

But why would God single out Louisiana? Other states have many more abortion clinics, and Louisiana and the other states hit hardest by Katrina all voted for the pro-life president of the United States. It didn't add up for us at first, but the Columbia Christians for Life have an answer for everything. God has already punished California with earthquakes, forest fires and mudslides; New York with 9/11; and Florida with Hurricanes Bonnie, Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne and the early version of Katrina.

1. We are being punished for Pat Robertson's threats on TV...
while using God's name to justify MURDER! * PAT IS AN ABOMINATION!

2. And what will be God's punishment for
letting people live in such poverty that they can't escape from hurricanes? What will be God's punishment for shooting a "looter" leaving a store with a pack of diapers?

4. Did it ever occur to these people that
all the punishments in the world they attribute to God may be because of THEIR misguided zealotry?

5. So what's the deal with Mississippi, Fundies?

Check out the photo of the bombing of Baghdad, about halfway down the page.

10. I wondered how long it would be before they got around to this.
I knew it was coming. Fred Phelps is in Sweden right now but I'm sure when he gets back he'll add "God Hates New Orleans" to his ever growing list.

12. Fundie imaginations running riot again.
Actually, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the image of the hurricane has been digitally altered to produce the "fetus" in the picture. Anyone with a halfway decent working knowledge of Photoshop and the clone stamp tool could knock one out in just a few minutes to produce that same effect. I know I could.

Also, if it's a real satellite image of the hurricane these wackjobs are using for their little example, shouldn't it have a time and date on it to prove its authenticity? That image just doesn't look "right" to me.

14. I guess Kansas is outside of God's power to do anything to
Since Tiller's clinic is still there and operating, and Wichita has never been hit by a hurricane.

19. actually we're getting punnished for not having adequate
mental facilities for these delusional people.

We're getting punnished even where there isn't a natural disaster to accompany it.

It's Gods way of telling us liberals to fund mental health care.

20. Been waiting for this
figured it would be Pat Robertson PATWAH, but he's feeling a bit sheepish these days..

Listening for the "Soddom and Gommorrah" gnashing of the teeth by these rubarbs, there were drunks, gays, abortions, noncertified brown people, women showing their breasts for beads, the list goes on..

it WAS a great city for sinning, have to admit that.. glad I got to see it when I did, they should get everyone out and turn it into a Hurricane Monument like Hiroshima..

I hope the horror ends soon, those poor bastards are living like cave people in a 21st Century toxic soup..

I also hope that Swamprat's mom is okay, sending warm vibes her way.
