Katrina was the greatest natural disaster ever to hit America. Now seven years later, to the day, another hurricane is heading towards this city. The fact the events are seven years apart is very significant as this number is biblically important. It is the number of completion: God created the universe in seven days. The church, city and nation have not repented and the homosexual agenda is far worse than it was in 2005.
New Orleans is still hosting Southern Decadence with open homosexuality manifesting in the streets of the city. It could be that God is putting an end to this city and its wickedness. The timing of Hurricane Isaac with Southern Decadence is a sign that God’s patience with America’s sin is coming to an end. Let’s all watch this very closely, because if New Orleans is destroyed, it is a sure sign that the final judgment for the national sin of America has arrived.

And yet, Isaac was far less severe than Katrina was. Either your god is getting less powerful, or else the two hurricanes hitting 7 years apart is just a coincidence.

Well, it wasn't destroyed, so does that mean no "final judgment" is coming?
Get back to me when a hurricane levels San Francisco.
"God created the universe in seven days."
No, According to your book, he did it in six. The seventh was the day of rest. And you're a pastor? Shouldn't you learn this bullshit if you are going to claim authority to lead others in it?

No, he didn’t. Read your fucking bible, he did it in six days! And you call yourself a “pastor”?

Well, as far as I know, New Orleans exists now for quite a while and its more “easier” culture does so, too. So what is God taking so long?
I find it more interesting that Isaac had quite an effect on the RNC. Why didn’t you mention that?
EDIT: Dr. Razark beat me to the six/seven days issue. Damn my slow typing! ;-)
The parts of New Orleans where homosexuals are concentrated was mostly spared by Katrina. On the other hand, it destroyed at least nine Baptist churches. Either God has lousy aim or His "final judgment" may be against hate-filled, holier-than-thou God-botherers likeyou .
Meanwhile people in Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Iceland, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Sweden are just too much for god to handle.
But the most conservative parts of the United States get's hit hard during the Republican Convention. Ya sure God's talking to the gayz?
How apt that you'd choose Katrina as the "greatest natural disaster ever to hit America". It is in fact the costliest monetarialy, but in terms of deaths, it's far behind many others. Just check out Wikipedia. And what the connection is with homosexuality is anyone's guess. Honestly, you'd think the Bible was predominantly a gay-bashing journal, rather than a book that condemns homosexuality a couple of times.
sorry but New Orleans is still there, a bit wetter but there nontheless.
Perhaps its all the cars (iron chariots) preventing God from smiting them ?
Seeing as how the French Quarter in N'Awlins is still around & suffered minimal damage from Katrina; I'd say you are, as usual, incorrect. Isaac didn't do much either-less than Katrina from what I've read. So...you're wrong. Again.
And BTW- I & no one else has anything to "repent" for. I am a FAR more moral or decent person than you could ever hope to be, you fucking greedy charlatan. I hope you choke on some crawfish gumbo.
Who would have thought that two hurricanes, seven years apart, would hit an area that gets hurricanes and tropical storms every 4-7 years? I mean what are the chances of that? It's like an earthquake occurring at a fault line or a tornado hitting tornado alley. It's clearly too much of a coincidence and therefore the work of God.
So, in other words, gays and lesbians have more power over creation than God Almighty, given that they can cause natural disasters? I mean, the best the big G has done since the dark ages is cheap celebrity appearances on pieces of toast.
America is a city? I thought it was two continents.
God supposedly created the universe in SIX days, stupid, he had to rest on the seventh.
Dearie, the Bible barely mentions homosexuality. If this was really the One Great Sin, it ought to be mentioned more than in passing in one or two verses, right? Why isn't it included in the Ten Commandments, or the Seven Deadly Sins.
Weren't the Republicans holding their convention in New Orleans when Isaac hit? Stockholm is holding a Pride festival each year, and gay people are getting married and having children here, but it has never seen any hurricanes whatsoever. It seems God is more pissed off at the Republicans than at the homosexuality.
Or, it's simply that time of the years, when storms are raging hard on the Northern Hemisphere...
Katrina blew away all the fundie churches, but left the gay bars intact. What do you think god was trying to tell you?
Now you get a hurricane just in time for the Republic convention. Probably because you're a slow learner and didn't pay attention the first time.
"New Orleans is still hosting Southern Decadence with open homosexuality manifesting in the streets of the city. It could be that God is putting an end to this city and its wickedness.[...] f New Orleans is destroyed, it is a sure sign that the final judgment for the national sin of America has arrived."
Thus your god want to destruct a town because some pratice consensual acts between consenting adults but said he love mankind.
It is funny how god uses hurricanes and earthquakes to destroy sinners in exactly the places that science predicts that hurricanes and earthquakes should occur. It is almost as if god isn't really needed at all.
Pastor John, if you really believe this nonsense you are a complete douchebag. If you don't believe it and you are just trying to scare people into giving you money you are also a douchebag. It seems that either way, you are a douchebag.
BTW - "whatever" FTW. Awesome comment dude.
So God hates Mardi Gras so much that he would kill thousands and cause billions in damage to innocent people's homes.
But Hitler's Germany was just fine and dandy and had to be destroyed by a coalition of human nations. Guess God is fine with genocide, not icky gays
That's like saying that tornadoes in tornado alley is a deity punishing 'sin'.
No, it's not. There is just a tendency for that specific type of weather to occur in those areas(and have been I'm sure long before humans came around).You have created a false corelation.
No, I think God's saying something completely different than what you guys say he's saying, which, might I add, is a pretty serious crime within your own religion.
In other news, NOLA is still there.
But Plaquemines parish got stomped hard and a lot of people there are still without juice in the middle of a tropical heatwave, and there's still enough standing water that West Nile-carrying mosquitos are proliferating like mad. So apparently God hates farmers, people with COPD who can't handle excessive heat and humidity and anyone with a compromised immune system or who lives in a mosquito-infested area, but NOLA is just peachy with Him.
Either that, or God's aim is really bad. Or, He didn't have jack shit to do with it, and Pastor John McTernan is as full of shit as a Christmas goose.
Hurricane Katrina. Louisiana devastated. Churches annihilated. Yet, the 'sinful' French Quarter of New Orleans nary got a scratch.
Hurricane Isaac?:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/aug/29/new-orleans-defences-strained-hurricane-isaac
'Torrential rain and winds of 75mph strike Louisiana and Mississippi, knocking out power and threatening severe flooding'
The French Quarter, however...:
'The French Quarter in New Orleans. Isaac was moving at just 6mph over the city'
That was the title under a photo of said French Quarter of New Orleans; the most they got - apart from those '6 MPH winds'...? Rain .
...oh, and the person who took that photo?: Eric Gay . Irony may or may not be intended.
Going by Pastor McTernan's "logic", the fact that both Katrina & Issac did squat to the French Quarter proves one thing.....
Bondye & The Loa are real and "WASP-Fundie-Jehovah" is bogus! Woo hoo!
Here in Canada we have gay marriage. Seven years and not one hurricane. Actually, we are doing pretty damn good. Although we have our fundies like Ian Juby, VenomfangX and Benny Hinn, we are still less religious than America. Funny how the god does not express his childish wrath on us.
As someone who has lived in Acadiana and the French Quarter, va te faire foutre, salaud de vautour ! If only my French weren't so rusty and I was half-native in it like I am Spanish, I'd give you a good verbal smackdown, Cajun style.
Once i was at mardi-gras in New Orleans. What i saw was a lot of people milling around on the streets drinking beer (for the most part) and an occasional flash by the ladies. And that was about all there was to it. I think the image of mardi-gras as a great mass of degenerate behaviour is rather over rated.
But it does make an easy target when some preacher wants to sound all high and mighty.
excuse my poor memory, but didn't the hurricanes not hit during mardi-gras? And why would god want to in effect destroy the whole city and the lives of it's citizens for a two day affair? Why would god choose to punish a town just for having a reputation?
Does make for some good TV preachin', though.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
