Hagee Says Hurricane Katrina Struck New Orleans Because It Was ‘Planning A Sinful’ ‘Homosexual Rally’
Hagee Says Hurricane Katrina Struck New Orleans Because It Was ‘Planning A Sinful’ ‘Homosexual Rally’
On September 18, 2006, Pastor John Hagee — whose endorsement Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said this past Sunday he was “glad to have” — told NPR’s Terry Gross that “Hurricane Katrina was, in fact, the judgment of God against the city of New Orleans.” “New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God,” Hagee said, because “there was to be a homosexual parade there on the Monday that the Katrina came.”
On his radio show yesterday, right-wing talker Dennis Prager asked Hagee to respond to “the various charges made against him” in a fact sheet put out by the Democratic National Committee. Asked about his comments on Hurricane Katrina, Hagee said “the topic of that day was cursing and blessing”:
HAGEE: Yes. The topic of that day was cursing and blessing. … What happened in New Orleans looked like the curse of God, in time if New Orleans recovers and becomes the pristine city it can become it may in time be called a blessing. But at this time it’s called a curse.
Prager followed up by asking if all natural disasters are a result of “the divine hand” and if there is “any natural disaster that is not the result of sin?” Hagee responded by saying “it’s a result of God’s permissible will” and “that there was going to be a massive homosexual rally there the following Monday,” which he said “was sin”:
PRAGER: Right, but in the case, did NPR get, is this quote correct though that in the case of New Orleans you do feel it was sin?
HAGEE: In the case of New Orleans, their plan to have that homosexual rally was sin. But it never happened. The rally never happened.
PRAGER: No, I understand.
HAGEE: It was scheduled that Monday.
PRAGER: No, I’m only trying to understand that in the case of New Orleans, you do feel that God’s hand was in it because of a sinful city?
HAGEE: That it was a city that was planning a sinful conduct, yes.
Unconvinced by Hagee’s explanation, Prager said “frankly” that critics “can get you” for those comments “because people don’t like to hear that sort of thing.”
Listen here:
In February, after working hard to gain Hagee’s endorsement, McCain said he was “very honored” to receive it. Since then, he has both “repudiate[d]” and defended Hagee’s anti-Catholic and “anti-anything” remarks. But as Think Progress has noted, McCain has never specifically commented on Hagee’s offensive beliefs about Hurricane Katrina or his anti-gay comments.
Given the fact that McCain will be in New Orleans tomorrow, will reporters ask whether he agrees with Hagee’s belief that the devastated city was cursed because of a gay pride parade? We’ll be watching.
Transcript:
PRAGER: Now, they have you on Hurricane Katrina, quote, from NPR two double-o six: “All hurricanes are acts of God because God controls the heavens. I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God and they were recipients of the judgment of God for that.” Go ahead.HAGEE: Yes. The topic of that day was cursing and blessing. Moses taught in the book of Deuteronomy that everything in life is either a blessing or a curse. There are days that things happen that at the time look like a curse. In the passing of time, they may become what appears to be a blessing. An illustration is Joseph, when he was sold into slavery it looked like a curse, it looked like the worse day of his life. When his brothers came into Egypt looking for food, what looked like a bad day 13 years before turned out to be a blessed day. What happened in New Orleans looked like the curse of God, in time if New Orleans recovers and becomes the pristine city it can become it may in time be called a blessing. But at this time it’s called a curse.
PRAGER: Right, but what you were saying and, I want to just make it clear that there is a divine hand in these natural acts and you see the divine hand in the hurricane that hit New Orleans.
HAGEE: If God is almighty and God is all powerful, God controls everything. If God does not control everything, he is not God. So the answer of that is yes.
PRAGER: Right. The only question, and this is not a challenge as much as my own theological question to that, is this is really Dennis speaking, not you know, not some official questioner. But if that’s the case so that would hold true for the earthquake and the tsunami, the earthquake in southern California, the tsunami that hit Indonesia. Is that, so is there any natural disaster that is not the result of sin?
HAGEE: Well, I’m not saying it’s a result of sin, I’m saying it’s a result of God’s permissible will. You cannot say that everything on the Earth that happens is sin. It was carried in a newspaper that there was going to be a massive homosexual rally there the following Monday. Ah, but and I believe that homosexual marriage is sin and I believe that it’s an abomination because Moses said it was. But it is wrong to say that every natural disaster is the result of sin. It is a result of God’s permissive will, but who no man on Earth knows the mind of God…
PRAGER: Right, but in the case, did NPR get, is this quote correct though that in the case of New Orleans you do feel it was sin?
HAGEE: In the case of New Orleans, their plan to have that homosexual rally was sin. But it never happened. The rally never happened.
PRAGER: No, I understand.
HAGEE: It was scheduled that Monday.
PRAGER: No, I’m only trying to understand that in the case of New Orleans, you do feel that God’s hand was in it because of a sinful city?
HAGEE: That it was a city that was planning a sinful conduct, yes.
PRAGER: Ok, so that is the only I think, frankly, it’s the only one they can get you on because people don’t like to hear that sort of thing. But even so, I think that, I’ve always given religious people leeway, religious leaders on saying that we ourselves have sinned, and God has his own judgments. I mean the prophets used to do that, so that’s you know, that’s up to anybody to interpret the way they want. I mean, when the left says that we sin against the environment and we end up getting x or y, nobody says that that’s illegitimate.
HAGEE: Well, I know that in our society, that is what I call politically correct, no one likes to hear that there is a God who has the power to correct man for his behavior that does not fall within the parameters of the word of God. That’s why secular humanists hate the bible because it gives a definite standard of right and wrong. There’s light and darkness, there’s wheat and pears, there’s sheep and goats. You can’t be all things to all people. You either do live by the word of God or you don’t live by the word of God. And there’s nothing in between. And…and our secular permissive society, that’s just a hateful idea.
PRAGER: Alright, I’m going to let you go, but…and I’m going to take calls that are coming in on this.

Another Jerry Falwell wind bag full of hate.
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:44 amLet’s ask John Sidney McCain III about this. Does he or doesn’t he agree with the pastor whose endorsement he sought, and appreciates?
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:45 amThen why didn’t it strike the “gay” neighborhoods the hardest?
Here we go again.
Countdown to Daryll….3, 2, 1…
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:46 amThe media will not care. They view McCain as a needle in a Hageestack.
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:47 amfrom above:
‘Given the fact that McCain will be in New Orleans tomorrow, will reporters ask whether he agrees with Hagee belief that the devastated city was cursed because of a gay pride parade? We’ll be watching.’
Even if a reporter asks about it, McCain will probably just laugh it off, there won’t be any follow-up questions and that’ll be that!
Except that now you’ve probably summoned Parodyll…
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:47 amWhy doesn’t God strike down EVERY gay parade? Why strike down poor families instead?
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:48 amIf God hates homosexuals, why did He let Jeff Gannon (R) in the White House? Why did He let Cheney (R) and Alan Keyes (R) breed gay children? Why did He let Craig (R) pick up men in airport restrooms?
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:48 amWell, if we are to believe this nut case why hasen’t his god struck down all the republican, closeted gay’s and pedafile’s.? Crap on a crutch, these bible thumper’s are pure crazy..They are not christian’s, just lunatick business men in a BIG BUSINESS selling hate and fear…Blessings
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:49 am“New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God,” Hagee said, because “there was to be a homosexual parade there on the Monday that the Katrina came.”
He can’t be wrong….he got his information about the Katrina on the google.
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:49 amDaryll Says:
Pastor Hagee is right. What ever you sow, you will reap.
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:47 am
Yes Daryll, Pator Hagee will reap the consequences of his hatred — and so will you.
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:49 amI better warn my daughter. The next the hurricane is likely to hit Jacksonville.
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:51 amThat fat puss bag oughta be called Pastor Hoagie.
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:51 amDaryll is wrong. What ever he poops, he eats.
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:52 amI just love how morality can be so conveniently modified to suit your own beliefs.
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:52 amEvery time I have premarital sex with my girlfriend we both experience a lot of satisfaction.
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:53 amZooey, you sure called that one on Daryll. Exactly three minutes.
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:55 amZooey Says
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:46 am
Then why didn’t it strike the “gay” neighborhoods the hardest?
__________________________________________
And why didn’t it strike San Francisco instead of New Orleans? SF probably has more “gay” events than any other major city in the country.
Hagee is just like all the rest of those who exploit religion to justify their bigotry. They will take any natural disaster and twist it to fit their agenda, knowing that their faithful will gobble it up.
Everybody knows that if God really wanted to smite sinners in the United States, he’d probably start with Washington DC.
The real question is if McCain will repudiate Hagee’s anti-gay remarks. My guess is no.
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:55 amPeople of faith, nor their faith, should be tolerated. THIS is what we get for tolerating them . . . roaches and knuckle-draggers all.
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:55 amDaryll Says:
Gay pride doesn’t exist. There is no satisfaction in committing sin.
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:51 am
You’re just not doing it right.

Actually, it was one minute. :-) I’m just that good. Heh.
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:57 amDaryll, you are going to have one massive crisis of faith and/or significant self-loathing if, God forbid, your wife gets breast cancer or you have a child that is born with a physical deformity.
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:58 amSomeone here has that great list of all the republican sinner’s..LOL…..Can we post it again please….Pretty please…Before the little D pollutes the entire thread with bible quote’s and evil crap on how wonderful his mcshame is, you all know, adultry, divorced, womanizing, warmonging…But it’s O,K, if your on the reich..Blessings
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:58 amDaryll Says:
How can you be satisfied with committing a sinful act, when a harsh consequence exist (hell).
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:58 am
Ohhh, it hurts so good, Daryll.
BTW, there is no hell, you brainwashed sap.
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:00 pmDaryll, you should well understand how you can be satisfied with committing a sinful act. You show up at TP regularly with your self-idolotry, judging and condemning those whose religious views are different from yours. And you seem very satisfied with this sinful act.

I won’t wish any misfortune on the people around Daryll, but nobody stays “lucky” throughout their entire life. I would certainly feel sorry for any “less than perfect” child that arrives in the Daryll household.
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:05 pmDaryll Says:
I would never doubt my trust and faith in God. I would consider these circumstances as spiritual tests, which can be conquered by relying on Jesus. Man will fail you, but God never fails!!! I can do all things through Christ, which strengthens me.
It’s too bad Christ can’t make you smart, Daryll.

Hahahaha…Reminds me of that Woody Allen movie. When his shrink asks him if he thinks sex is dirty, he replied: Only if it’s done right :)~
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:06 pmI would consider these circumstances as spiritual tests, which can be conquered by relying on Jesus.
Daryll, I doubt it. Your “reap what you sow” dogma will overwhelm you and/or your faith. You will consider yourself to have failed those spiritual tests or that God failed you. You have a fragile faith based on the physical world. That’s why you get so hung up on the physical act of sex.
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:08 pmHeh Exit Stage Left, that’s what I was thinking about. :)
Did Daryll come a little too close to actually thinking? Did he run away? Daryll…?
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:09 pmDoesn’t take much to summon Parodyll to a thread. Just mention gays and voila! There he is! Pavlov’s dog effect.
I wonder why some people are so hung up on other people’s lifestyles.

April 23rd, 2008 at 12:11 pmO.K., O.K., the santamonious (sp) little D is on his (pull pit) on purpose….You never answer about your parties (sin’s)…What’s with that.?..Doe’s your bunch get a” free ride”.?…LOL….Keep it to your self if your not going to answer why mcsham and all the other’s are not held to the little D standard…
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:12 pmJohn McCain said he rejected Hagee’s words, yet he sought and enjoys support from Hagee.
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:12 pmWill the media challenge McCain with questions on this as they gave Obama? Will he be asked to remove Hagee from his campaign? Don’t hold your breath — remember IOKIYAR — in which case, homophobia, bigotry and racism are A-OK.
Daryll,
So let me get this straight…something bad happens to you and its a test of your faith. Something bad happens to a city with a homosexual contingent and God is trying to wipe them off the face of the Earth? Have I got that right? Maybe God is just testing the strength of their homosexuality.
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:13 pmAnd Hagee is just as spiritually fragile and confused as Daryll, if there was any doubt.

I would take a look at the number of young gay people who commit suicide for an indication as to how family sometimes reacts.
**cold chills**
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:14 pmWhen my daughter told me she was gay I was so relieved. For a minute there I thought she was gonna tell me she was a Republican.

April 23rd, 2008 at 12:15 pmGive us this day our daily drivel.
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:16 pmThank you, daryll.
Daryll
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:12 pm
Like I said — brainwashed sap. **eyes rolling**
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:16 pmDaryll, So when John McCain had an affair he is doomed to hell?
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:17 pmWar is killing, are all the soldiers doom to hell? (there is no just war, killing is killing)
Can Daryll tell us where is heaven - is it outside of Pluto or Saturn - or just above the clouds of earth? Where is hell? Where will we sinners all be damned?
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:18 pmJeez, Biblethumpers make me sick with their sanctimonious pronouncements as self-appointed arbiters of right and wrong.
Did Jesus condemn homosexuals; prostitutes; beggars, or the poor? I think he only railed at the moneychangers in the temple — you know, the ones who made money on the sinners.

Ew. Having a Republican child really would be hard to take.
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:18 pmOh my my my….Daryll seems to have been raptured.
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:19 pmAnd maybe when something bad happens to Darryl, God is punishing Darryl for lying about his homosexuality…
Ouch, Darryl… quite the dilemma ya got yerself there.

Seems to me, Hagee, GOD doesnt like greedy Mammonists.

It would take a very narrow hurricane to miss his fat a$$.
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:26 pmKnowing that God struck down NOLA for having a gay pride demo.
Knowing the callousness of Washington DC and the graft and cut back.
Knowing the Old Testament prophets constantly asking how you are caring for the Widows and Orphans.
Knowing the New Testament peferential option for the poor.
If I lived in DC, I think I’d start running.

April 23rd, 2008 at 12:27 pmAs far as Darryl goes, where does he think homosexuals come from? ZOMG! Heterosexual parents! It’s all that damn hetero-intergender marriage run amok! Does that mean that all the parents of homosexual people are to be smited? smitten? smote? smaid? Ah smuck it.
Heaven forfend!
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:28 pmAnd God said, “The gays are having a parade! Quick get me a hurricane and make it a big one!” God sounds like Lewis Black.
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:28 pm6Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
Daryll, does this mean that you never sleep? Or don’t you follow Paul’s call.
9For God hath not appointed us to wrath
God wrathfully destroyed New Orleans. Christians are
supposed to strive to be like God. Therefore, shouldn’t
Christians be wrathful?
epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
So, Daryll, why are you “reading” it to us unholy heathens?

_____________________________________
I suspect it has to do with pre-occupation with what other people are doing in their bedrooms. People like Daryll can feel better about fantasizing about sex if they do so with some righteous indignation.
It’s like the two prim and proper old ladies examining a porn rag at a newsstand.
LADY #1 (looking at magazine): Shocking!
LADY #2 (acting just as shocked): And that’s nothing! Wait until you see what’s on page 27!
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:30 pmI have to wonder… is Darryl the RNC’s “Gay” specialist for trolling?
I mean, he’s hardly ever here for any other thread… but a “gay” thread goes up, Darryl is here w/in minutes, over and over again.
Uncanny, how Darryl knows just when “teh Gay” comes up at TP, and shows up immediately.
Just asking.

April 23rd, 2008 at 12:34 pmBut don’t forget all the great things Hagee said on the Glenn Beck Show (which no one watches).
Here’s just a taste:
BECK: End of the world as we know it in five years, 10 years, 20 years?
HAGEE: I don’t think we’ll get past 20 years.
BECK: Putin, is he part of the biblical prophecy?
HAGEE: I believe that he’s the man that’s going to cause Russia to unite the Islamic nations against Israel.
BECK: I think he’s done most of it already. Worst U.S. president in history?
HAGEE: Jimmy Carter.
BECK: I just want to shake your hand on that one.
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:34 pmOh the fear! Every time Pastor John Hagee gets diarrhea it’s Gods punishment for him lusting after young boys. Cheney’s pace maker is his punishment for having a gay daughter.
Why don’t we all just commit suicide so God doesn’t have to keep punishing us for being Human Beings?
Hagee and these right wing extremists haven’t a clue…

I suspect Daryll subscribes to the TP feed and only pops in whenever he’s alerted to a “gay” thread. Or a religious one.
I mean — have you ever seen him contribute to any thread that didn’t have to do with one or the other?
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:37 pmI love the way televangelist and (Men of God) only talk about God’s rath. These are the same type of men that have for thousands of years killed in the name of God, as justification.
Have persecuted women, from burning them on stakes, putting heavy stones on their chests (suffocation)and let’s not forgot putting them underwater and tying weights to their legs.
They have caused more bloodshed and wars than anything in history, all in the name of a god. But gay men are sinful…right…. (Heavy, heavy sarcasm)

April 23rd, 2008 at 12:45 pmA peek at the Conservative “Mind” (SIC)
“I mean the prophets used to do that, so that’s you know, that’s up to anybody to interpret the way they want. I mean, when the left says that we sin against the environment and we end up getting x or y, nobody says that that’s illegitimate.”
In other words, scientific predictions and religious prophecy are equally legitimate to the 21st century conservative.

April 23rd, 2008 at 12:48 pmI must say “God” is pretty selective, isn’t He? It has always been thus.
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:48 pmMan, oh man. I go for a walk on this absolutely beautiful, sunny spring day, come back hoping to do some Daryll of Parodyll troll whacking (patent pending), when, suddenly, as Zooey stated, he’s been raptured. Dayumm!
Back on topic.
How long before the media continuously and mercilessly harps on McCain for Hagee’s idiotic and homophobic comments? With Fox News round the clock breaking news ticker? How soon before McCain has to defend himself publicly regarding what someone else said?
I won’t hold my breath.
By the way, I live 45 minutes from Saugatuck, Mi., known as the San Francisco of the Midwest (and also affectionately called “Sausagetuck” among the straights and gays). Was the recent 5.4 seismic activity a result of their upcoming “sins”?
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:52 pmAnd if so, man, all those cities that harbor heterosexuals are in some serious big trouble from the big man upstairs, with all that pre-marital and extra marital sex. When does Washington DC get hit?
Hagee is a dangerous God-smacked bigot.
I hope God smites HIM.
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:55 pmDaryll has been raptured and ended up in troll hell where his posts have been deleted and all he can do is talk to himself. What did you do to piss god off Daryll? Don’t say we didn’t try to warn you!
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:58 pmOnce, several years ago, while tailgating for a U of M football game, I came across a bumper sticker with a non smiley face that stated “Mean People Suck!“.
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:59 pmHow concise, how true, how eloquent in it’s simplicity.
I would like to expand on it:
“Bigoted Religious Leaders Suck!” preceded by Hagee’s unappealing mug.
I’ll let ya’ll know when I have it copyrighted!
Hey DRxJ, I saw a dead squirrel on the road today. Who do you think he’s been screwing?
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:00 pmI don’t really like the idea of all of Daryll’s posts being raptured. He was on-topic, in his own cute little Pharisitic way. I think we need these belief systems exposed to the light of day and thoroughly debunked, ridiculed, and otherwise dealt with directly rather than being disappeared. I only flag and want posts blocked that are incidents of name-jacking, threats, clearly only derailing, and the like.
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:01 pmPLC, kind of like “for amusement purposes only” sorta disclaimer?
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:04 pmOPiate,
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:05 pmEr, he’s retired now. Is Hagee?
Hey DRxJ, I saw a dead squirrel on the road today. Who do you think he’s been screwing?
Chipmunks. And I’m against interspecies marriage.
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:06 pmI’m still waiting for FOX News to comment. You know the friends of the candidate says a lot about the candidate. What BS this system has become. This says a lot about our country.
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:07 pmSo why weren’t other cities a target of God’s homophobia? By Hagee’s logic, I suppose if San Fran was built below sea level, located in the hurricane belt, and was protected by an inadequate levee system, they would have felt God’s wrath also. That just makes God sound lazy, picking on an easy target like NO.
The last major earthquake in the bay area was almost 20 years ago, and I don’t think they got the message because San Fran isn’t any less gay today. If God is punishing the gays, he’s doing a pretty lousy job. And isn’t it just like God to take out the poor in NO along with the gays. They may not have been gay, but they sure didn’t do much to stop all that gayness.
I think there’s a pretty clear causal link: Gays cause hurricanes.
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:07 pmThe Black church hate Gays more than anybody!
I read an article once which stated that black men who were in prison, and engaged in sex with other men, once released, did not consider themselves homosexuals. In fact, the essay concluded that “activity” among prisoners is more about power than pleasure.
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:09 pmJust food for thought, Daryll. And yes, the article did refer to them as “black”.
More hatemongering from the REICH WING, just more of the same from Hagee and McFlipflopper is still standing by the hate filled man of god (supposedly). So, when does GoD send his hatefilled message on Washington, D.C. and the Bushco crime family that virtually did nothing to help minorities,the poor,the homeless Veterans and eveyone else in New Orleans. Mr.Hagee does nothing for the Reich Wing but hurt the Reich and I am glad for that.
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:09 pmNick ~ The midwest was hit with an unusual swarm of earthquakes recently. Could it be all the gay sex in KC? Or maybe just the BBQ sauce?
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:14 pmMan, after rereading what I posted #91, it kind of has the tone of racism to it (”the article did refer to ‘them’”).
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:14 pmI should further elaborate.
The article was referring to the increased HIV infections among the African American community, especially those among the lower income. It went on to compare situations (post prison) to those of other ethnicities. Thus my improper placement of “them” in the last sentence.
My sincerest apologies if I offended anyone.
Hagee also makes disparaging statements about Catholics. And yet 60% of the Democratic Catholics in PA, in an exit poll, said they would not vote for Obama. I guess that makes the PA Catholics a bunch of bigots.
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:19 pmI don’t really like the idea of all of Daryll’s posts being raptured. He was on-topic, in his own cute little Pharisitic way.
OMG, you don’t mean that TP finally banned Daryll? His posts were rarely on topic and never did anything but stink up the place. If this is true, praise the lord!
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:22 pmHagee knows how to work the people as he pockets millions of dollars. Now as to his faith well after 15 years of marriage to Martha, Hagee divorced her in 1975 and in less then 7 months married Diana. Hagee was gettng busy with Diana while still married to Martha but that’s ok for him but sinful for others. I noticed Hagee had no problem with Senator Vitters conduct but everyone else is bad. It’s all about using God’s name for profit with Hagee and he’s doing a great job at sucking people in. Now Teflon John could care less about Religion he just wants to vote to steal taxpayers money.

Well, pre-marriage, I did date a flight attendant (then called stewardess) who resided in Overland Park, Kansas, a suburb of Kansas City. Maybe the Midwest is paying for the sins of my past?
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:28 pmMan, the stories I could tell!
And, she was a die hard Republican, to boot!!!
If that’s what you get for planning a gay parade, what’s God gonna do to Washington DC for its seven-year record of arrogance, indifference, and depravity?
I’d get the hell out while the getting’s good.

April 23rd, 2008 at 1:29 pmHEY EVERYONE!! Daryll’s still here bearing false witness for the Lord. YIPEE!!
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:32 pmI see all these references to “Daryll” and his comments, but I don’t see any comments from Daryll.
Are his comments so abusive that they have to be deleted? I find it more satisfying when a silly conservative’s comments are left alone and then refuted in a vigorous manner, than when his silly, hateful comments are simply deleted out of hand. That’s the way the Malkins and Red States do it, not us.
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:33 pmDaryll Says:

Looks like Daryll got booted by the Rapture Squad.
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:33 pmWith proponents like Daryll “witnessing” for him, the lord is in deep trouble.
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:34 pmWith preachers like Hagee, Parsley et al., the christian church is in deep trouble.
Okay, back on topic.
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:35 pmHagee (Dagee) says that the wrath of Katrina was due to “planning of a gay parade”.
Wow, than the citizens of Las Vegas must be in real deep trouble, what with all the “extra-marital planning” that goes on there, every single night!
Prager says in this excerpt that the Katrina/Gays statement is the only one the liberals can “get” Hagee on.
I wonder what Hagee could have possibly said about his many “Catholic Church is the Whore of Babylon” statements that satisfied Prager?
Did anyone hear that part of the show or does anyone know how Hagee responded to questions about his Catholic-bashing?
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:35 pmActually Daryll of Parodyll, as a Christian, you don’t have to witness for our Lord, as He can witness for Himself.
But, you knew that, right?
Right?
Shall I indulge you about my pre-marital flight attendant fling, or would you rather learn more about prison love?
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:38 pmMy money’s on the latter.

You must realize you’re going to hell for lying, Daryll.
You lied about the Bush Administration and their patently treasonous acts (as defined by Fmr. Pres. Bush) when they exposed the identity of an undercover CIA operative.
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:40 pm#1 of 20 questions the media will never ask John McCain:
1. Do you agree with Pastor John Hagee that war with Iran is the fulfillment of biblical prophecy?
In February, you shared a stage with Pastor John Hagee and said you were “very proud” to have his endorsement. You also called the Reverend Rod Parsley, a man who said of Islam “America was founded, in part, with the intention of seeing this false religion destroyed”, your “spiritual guide.” Do you believe America’s mission is to destroy Islam? Do you join Pastor Hagee in believing the United States must attack Iran to fulfill the biblical prophecy of Armageddon in Israel in which 144,000 Jews will be converted to Christianity and the rest killed? Is that why you joked about “bomb bomb Iran?” If not, why will you not renounce the support of Hagee and Parsley?
For this and others questions the media won’t ask Mr. Straight Talk, see:
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:40 pm- “10 Debate Questions John McCain Will Never Be Asked.”

____________________________________________
No, his comments are very rarely abusive. They are silly, often indicative of a closed mind, and usually hilarious. Many people here are convinced Daryll is actually a parodist.
I think this is the only time I have actually seen his posts removed. Most of us have too much fun with Daryll to flag him, although he can get a bit wearying at times.
My only real complaint with Daryll, as a Christian, is that somebody might take him seriously and extrapolate from his posts that all of us Christians think the way he does, which isn’t true.
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:46 pmHey RUC, Chicago has plenty of gay sex too! But I suspect it’s all the Irish getting sauced on St. Patrick’s Day when everybody in Chicago is Irish.

This is one reason I feel an obligation to respond to him and why I don’t want to see his posts deleted from the record of the debate.
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:51 pmDaryll didn’t get deleted by TP he got raptured by THE LORD. Nothing we can do about it here. How’s that special place in hell you reserved for yourself Daryll you sanctimonious bobblehead?
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:52 pmShayne, oh, NOW I’ve got it. Daryll just reaped what he sowed from God.
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:55 pmThe only way the religious right like Hagee and Daryll could harm Christianity any more than they do would be if they strapped on suicide bombs. In every other way they’re just as crazy as Islamic fundamentalists.

I love the way televangelist and (Men of God) only talk about God’s rath. These are the same type of men that have for thousands of years killed in the name of God, as justification.
This comparison seems a little off to bitblt since commercial television has only been around for a little over sixty years.
Further, often the deaths you attribute to “…in the name of God…” where actually due to something else.
Take the movie “Kingdom of Heaven” as an example. In this movie, the phrase “God wills it!” is used as justification for political power plays including starting wars.
Much of that sort of manipulation went away after Bibles became common.
Using the faith of believers to manipulate them still happens. It doesn’t means there is something wrong with Christianity.
BTW, since you didn’t mention a better substitute for faith, bitblt will assume you don’t have one. You may want to consider that it’s as good as it can get with the influence of Christianity. After all, there’s no reason to assume that the last 20 century would magically improve if Christianity had been left out.
In addition, bitblt, being an Evangelical, doesn’t know a single “Man of God” who talks exclusively about God’s wrath. Perhaps, your take-a-way from television evangelists is just the part about wrath. This would seem plausible since you don’t suggest that you believe in Christ, and if this is the case – you don’t believe in Christ, the wrath of God would be the part of the story with which you may find an interest.
There is a Biblical account of several cities being destroyed because of their extreme wickedness – homosexuality. This account is in Genesis 19.
Isaiah remarks on this catastrophic event by making a comparison: “You parade your sin like Sodom.”
This quote would seem an apt description for the Southern Decadence Festival – at least to bitblt. This festival touts itself as a celebration of the gay lifestyle, and is estimated to be worth $100 M dollars to NOLA economy. If you’ve ever wondered why God destroyed all the inhabitants of Sodom, this estimate should give some insight into the reason that the entire city was destroyed. They were all involved and benefited from the evil.
They have caused more bloodshed and wars than anything in history, all in the name of a god. But gay men are sinful…right…. (Heavy, heavy sarcasm)
Believe the league leaders in the deaths due to ideologies category are the Communists who are officially -atheists. Their totals were racked up in only the twentieth century.
If RoeVWade gets another thirty years, the distinction of being the league leader may pass to the US which has allowed unborn to be destroyed due to an ideology - a woman expresses her individual liberty by destroying her unborn..
April 23rd, 2008 at 2:05 pmHey bitblt
Hollywood movies such as “Kingdom of Heaven” are about as accurate as Chimpy’s depiction of Iraq and the economy , you moron.
Actually , the movie itself is less violent than what actually transpired in history ……………

Believe if you check you’ll find that bitblt never mentions the administration or makes any remarks about the goodness or badness of the current contenders for office. So, the “lauding” part is completely out.
OTOH, bitblt did mail his taxes last week and that does pay the salary of the Republicans in the White House – as well as the Democrats in Congress - but he doesn’t consider that a partisan act because he plans to pay his taxes next year, too.

I think the reason so many of us are being such smart asses is that we don’t take what Hagee said as serious. We find humor in his absurdly juvenile and bigoted statements.
April 23rd, 2008 at 2:35 pmUnfortunately, there are those who take what Hagee says as truth .
Sometimes, if I couldn’t laugh, I’d be crying.
This is one of those times.

April 23rd, 2008 at 2:39 pm#149 ROFLAO..Priceless.
April 23rd, 2008 at 2:40 pmLet’s take a look at some of “Pastor” Hagee’s statements …
“If God is almighty and God is all powerful, God controls everything. If God does not control everything, he is not God.”
So, then, if God controls everything, then He must make gay people gay … ’cause “If God does not control everything, he is not God.”
“no man on Earth knows the mind of God”
So how, then, do you know so well what God wants? Hm?
“secular humanists hate the bible because it gives a definite standard of right and wrong”
No. Secular humanists do not hate The Bible — they just don’t try to find rules for life in that document. See, that’s why they’re called “secular,” as in “not religious.” It kinda goes without saying that (by definition) anything “secular” will not rely on a non-secular document … just sayin’ …

Morality and spiritualism , without the burden of fraudulent religions , is far superior to your “faith”.
Let’s start with a simple why?
Christianity says that man was created in the image of God.
If one doesn’t believe that, there’s really not much of anything better in the area of spirituality.
This simple tenant is fundamental to many of the important ideas in our culture. For instance, if man wasn’t created in the image of God, there’s absolutely no justification for human rights. This is one of the constant themes of Alabama Judge Moore.
I mean , look what it’s done to you ; you believe a gang of criminals are good for the country.
bitblt doesn’t believe he’s posted anything on TP to remotely suggest that. He’s certainly not posted anything under this thread.
You want to thank Christianity now for that ; or perhaps wait until later ?
bitblt is grateful that the government in the US is as good as it is. He also believes that the influence of Christianity makes the government as good as it is. He also believes the only way to improve the government is to increase the influence of Christianity.
McMetal didn’t mention how to increase the influence of …Morality and spiritualism….
Without belief in a transcendent God, the only way to increase anything of what you want is with guns – that is, laws with the threat of punishment.

bitblt doesn’t remember giving kudos to the current administration, and he didn’t do it in this thread.
Does McMetal remember bitblt doing this? Perhaps McMetal could show bitblt where he did this.
Believe the extent of bitblt’s comment on the presidency would be something like, “It’s a hard job.”
One is not a Conservative Christian – like bitblt – because one supports the current administration or any particular political point of view. In bitblt’s understanding of Christianity the U.S. is a bit player, and bitblt knows the difference between his nation and his faith.
bitblt does have an interest in “…our Posterity, ” especially his own.
Please note that bitblt’s comment on Pastor Hagee was that bitblt didn’t agree with the pastor’s assessment of Katrina.
On further reflection bitblt does remember speculating about the President’s intent in the area of bringing about Armageddon. One poster said the President believed he had a obligation to cause the so called battle of Armageddon. bitblt speculated that the President could just as easily feel an obligation to try to prevent Armageddon.
This remark was not about the President. It was about trying to interpret that President’s actions.

I guess his talk about love, respect, forgiveness, and acceptance was wasted on Daryll and pals. In fact, I have no doubt that Jesus, should he return today, would be nailed to another cross by sunrise tomorrow. Ironically, it’s his biggest, so called, fans who would crucify the poor liberal hippie.
