[gatorboy]

Time to put those high morals to work, people!

2. Actually...

Catholic Charities, Methodist Charities, and the Salvation Army are all on-site. * mentioned Catholic Charities in his speech.

But, I'd like to see Pat Robertscum give some of his millions to help out.

9. according to robertson's website

operation blessing is "planning" to help working with other churches and planning with federal agencies ...... but give us your money.

3. Where are the Xtian Taliban

Has anyone heard from Falwell, Robertson, Dobson, Perkins, or Graham?

Where are the pillars of the fanatics, or do they even care?

5. I thought he asked about Christians?

:shrug:

[[e-mail]]

10. yeah Robertson is NO

christian

[sickinohio]

4. Probably won't happen. I heard that some of those kooks

think that this is God's punishment to New Orleans because they were going to hold a convention of Gay's in the city. Not sure but I think I heard that on Ed Shultz show. Has anyone else heard that?

[redwitch]

7. Yeah, can't wait for Fred Phelps to show up

6. As some others mentioned, Catholic and other charities are already there.

I think the Methodists are involved as well among others. These are churches that believe talk is cheap and that works are needed to prove oneself.

8. UU Katrina Relief Fund:

11. Local Baptists

here in CA are enroute. I understand from friends that the Southern Baptist Church has a well trained corps of emergency aid workers that they deploy at times like this. I applaud them for that.

12. Check the FEMA website; the "how you can help" section...

is almost chock-a-block with religious organizations that are mobilizing or are already on the ground.

13. My church is there?

What are you doing to help?

20. I donated to the Red Cross yesterday

But I apologize if you took offense to my post. I should've been more clear that it was directed at the Pat Robertsons of the world and only them. But I was typing like a maniac and didn't think before I posted.

16. United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR)

http://gbgm-umc.org/umcor/05/katrinaresp.cfm

Financial donations can be made on line.

You can also help by assembling Flood Buckets and Health Kits.

[DoYouEverWonder]

17. I heard the Salvation Army is doing a good job

They had read the reports that this was going to be a very bad hurricane season and stockpiled food ahead time. Smart people.

[sepia_steel]

18. they're too busy

praising God for punishing the Big Easy.

Sorry, I'm referring to BUSHBOT 'Christians'. Couldn't help myself.

[gatorboy]

19. I donated to the Red Cross yesterday

But I wanted to make a quick apology for this thread in hope that no one took insult to my rant. Seeing so many hate mongering "church folk" of late has chapped my hide and I basically typed before I thought.
Apologies to all and to anyone that's a member of a church helping out in this situation.
