The money quote:
“New Orleans now is abortion free. New Orleans now is Mardi Gras free. New Orleans now is free of Southern Decadence and the sodomites, the witchcraft workers, false religion -- it's free of all of those things now," Shanks says. "God simply, I believe, in His mercy purged all of that stuff out of there -- and now we're going to start over again."
The New Orleans pastor is adamant. Christians, he says, need to confront sin. "It's time for us to stand up against wickedness so that God won't have to deal with that wickedness," he says.
Believers, he says, are God's "authorized representatives on the face of the Earth" and should say they "don't want unrighteous men in office," for example. In addition, he says Christians should not hesitate to voice their opinions about such things as abortion, prayer, and homosexual marriage. "We don't want a Supreme Court that is going to say it's all right to kill little boys and girls, ... it's all right to take prayer out of schools, and it's all right to legalize sodomy, opening the door for same-sex marriage and all of that.”
Yeah, you goddamn moron. There aren't any more abortion clinics. The babies are dying AFTER the birth now. How merciful. May you be "purged" in your little hiding place, you sick little bastard. If this is all the compassion that a minister -- a supposed man of God -- can muster up after this tragedy befell his city, he deserves to be hacked into little pieces and fed to dogs.
And the AgapePress is the spokesmouth of one of the more "mainstream" (in that politicians aren't shy about cozying up to them) religious nutjob organizations, the Family Research Council. Remember this the next time they prattle about their morality.
