Has CNN lost it?
Flipped through channels and saw Anderson Cooper interviewing that strange "Rev." Falwell about the possible connection between recent natural events and the "end times."

Next up Anderson evidently has a segment on human sexuality.

WTF?
It's like Bazooka's Circus.

1. What? ...
You mean, you haven't made the connection between the natural disasters and God's hateful wrath on the world ... even though Jesus was one of the worlds more prominent pacifists?

;)

Just Kidding!

5. LOL - I forgot God hates everyone.
No wonder Jesus blew this place.

(Wish he would have taken the MSM.)

3. I guess we live in the world of "Network". If some management pinhead
has decided the fundie apocalypse seeking demographic will yield an extra million viewers or so, then they'll pimp that angle no matter how ridiculous.

It certainly has nothing to do with actual journalism, or the news.

6. And to steal a famous quote from "Network..."
"When all the other bullshit fails, they drag out the God bullshit!"

4. Stephen Colbert had a piece on a re-run of "The Daily Show"
tonight making fun of people who blame hurricanes on God's wrath, including the Dali Lama.

7. Well you see my son
you should be getting ready for God has shown to us that he means it this time around and our readying of the book of revelations is correct. Get ready or be left behind.....

Oh never mind this is NOT news, or from the same book you cannot know the intent of God or the moment of his return.

But what would I know, just the Jewish kid who has read revelations in lit classes, as well as a philosophy class... oh did I mention the comparative religion class?

My favorite line and not from revelations

I have become death, destroyer of worlds.
