NorthenSun Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 From Houston Chronicle September 26, 2005: Note: Ed Young is the head pastor of Houston’s Second Baptist Church. But from the pulpits, preachers such as Young said the one-two punch of Katrina and Rita could be seen as a sign from God. Young focused on the importance of setting priorities in life and putting God first. But he also condemned the gambling industries devastated by Katrina and Rita. “I don’t know, but I think it may be a cleansing time,” Young said before the service. “It is a reminder that He is in control” There was a similar message at Windsor Village United Methodist Church, where the normal schedule was consolidated into an 8:00 a.m. service that nearly packed the main sanctuary at 6000 Heatherbrook. Assistant Pastor Robert Johnson received loud applause when he noted that Rita “was supposed to hit Houston, but it turned toward casinos. There might be a message in there somewhere.” Shown below are pictures of two churches in east Texas damaged by Hurricane Rita. I wonder if pastors Young and Johnson sent letters to the pastors of the affected churches suggesting that they might consider this as a sign from God to change their presumed filthy ways?

Mythra Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Ed Young doesn't know shit. Everyone knows that Las Vegas is sin city. Sin capital of the world. Nothing you can't do in that town. Gambling, naked women, you name it. It's a debauchery celebration. Hell, their motto is "what happens here, stays here." If God really wants to prove a point, why doesn't he go ahead and wipe vegas out with a hurricane? Go ahead, God. Give it your best shot. But they are running out of water there. So, instead of flattening the Bellagio Hotel, maybe God will just make everyone thirsty to show his condemnation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythra Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 No wonder God wiped out those churches. They are seventh day adventist and baptist. Everybody knows that God's a Presbyterian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryten Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Wow! I think the authors of the bible have achieved eternal life, because their mindset lives on and on. Today idiots still think like they did-- if something important happens, God must have done it. Unless He didn't and it's from the devil. Morons. Let's make it easier on God-- after all, He is pretty old and weak... If He wanted to wipe out "sin" and gambling, He could aim for Atlantic City.

All Gods Fail Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Or what about Salt Lake City? Mormon-town would piss off god to no end, at least according to the fundies. After all, they twist the word of god and deify themselves, or whatever their goofball religion is about. You'd think the mainstream god would've smoked Utah a long time ago.

Amethyst Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Everybody knows that God's a Presbyterian. I thought he was Lutheran, and Missouri Synod to boot. (Gosh darn those ev1L liberal bleeding heart ELCA'ers.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I voted for Bush in 2004.My house never gets hit by a hurricane. I made that mistake the first time around. My house never got hit by a hurricane either, but I live in Minnesota. Now if it had gotten hit by a hurricane, I'd have seriously wondered what was up.

What that preacher in the article said, won't set too kindly with those of us in Central Florida! He'd have some explaining to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Next they'll be calling the Pakistan earthquake a sign from god. Maybe it's just a sign that if you live in a region where there's an earthquake fault, and you pack a lot of people into a very small space, lots of them will die, sadly.
