Great LTTE re: funDAmentalists
God’s power

Fundamentalists should change their name because they’re no “fun” and certainly aren’t “mentalists.” The remaining syllable, “da,” might suffice.

Osama bin Laden says Allah ordered 9/11 because we’re infidels, while Jerry Falwell says we had it coming because we’re pagans. Now some fundamentalists want to credit God with natural disasters, the key word being “natural” — da!

Evangelists claim Katrina was punishing sin. Insurgents claim it was due to Iraq, and some Israelis claim Katrina was for our complicity in giving up the Gaza Strip. Natural disaster victims are often the poor, elderly and children. I wouldn’t want to be in a foxhole with a fundamentalist God because his aim is terrible.

Now Pat Robertson says the latest earthquake was an act of God signaling God’s return. Pat thinks any day now he’s going to hug God while saying, “I knew when you killed those school children in Pakistan it was a sign you were coming for me.” How sick.

Why do fundamentalists find God in killing? It’s the weather and geology, stupid — da.
