Holy merit badge! Divine retribution?

[William769]

If God hates gays, why do his harshest punishments—electrocutions, heat waves, hurricanes—seem to be directed at antigay bigots? The Boy Scouts should take note.

remember it vividly. It was very early in the morning for me, around 6. My friend Don Hobkirk called to see if I was up and already on my way to the radio station. I asked why, and he said to turn on CNN. I did, and I saw one of the twin towers of the World Trade Center burning. They said a plane had hit it.

I got up and started to get dressed, knowing I would be called to my station to go on the air. I called my good friend Larry Flick in New York City. He worked at Billboard back then, in a high-rise. While we were on the phone, another plane hit the trade center. I told him to get home. We hung up.

There was a lot that happened in the aftermath of 9/11. People began to ask, Why? And then Jerry Falwell told them, the answer was obvious. It was the fault of abortionists and gay people. Well, of course it was. After all, so many of the 19 terrorists were gay—not!

1. I hate people who hate in the name of God...

Jerry Falwell will have some explaining to do at the pearly gates.

2. Pearly Gates...HA!

The Brimstone Gates for Jerry!

3. True...

but he'll go to the pearly gates before being hauled away to the brimstone gates by two gay angels.

4. I love what he said about Florida.

To bad I live here.

5. I don't want the "pearly gates".

There is a small, wooden gate, somewhere, covered with vines and nearly choked (but not quite) with undergrowth, leading to a small game trail that if followed traces fantastic views and is infested with all manner of life. On that path, friends and family will join me, until I reach wherever they ended up.

THAT is the path I intend to take.

6. Just look what Gawd did to Louisiana

When Louisiana was set vote on a gay marriage ban, Gawd sent not one but TWO hurricanes to flood their polling places and try to stop them!

What does Gawd do when Massachusetts legalizes same-sex marriage? We win the World Series for the first time since 1918!

By the way, 1918 is the same year Massachusetts passed a law banning inter-racial couples from marrying if it's illegal in their home state.
