God Destroyed the City
ACT OF GOD DESTROYS NEW ORLEANS
DAYS BEFORE "SOUTHERN DECADENCE"

PHILADELPHIA, PA. September 1 /Covenant News Wire Service/ -- Just days before “Southern Decadence”, an annual homosexual celebration attracting tens of thousands of people to the French Quarters section of New Orleans, an act of God destroys the city.

“Southern Decadence” has a history of filling the French Quarters section of the city with drunken homosexuals engaging in sex acts in the public streets and bars. Last year, a local pastor sent video footage of sex acts being performed in front of police to the mayor, city council, and the media. City officials simply ignored the footage and continued to welcome and praise the weeklong celebration as being an “exciting event”. However, Hurricane Katrina has put an end to the annual celebration of sin.

On the official “Southern Decadence” website (www.SouthernDecadence.com), it states that the annual event brought in “125,000 revelers” to New Orleans last year, increasing by thousands each year, and up from “over 50,000 revelers” in 1997. This year’s 34th annual “Southern Decadence” was set for Wednesday, August 31, 2005 through Monday, September 5, 2005, but due to massive flooding and the damage left by the hurricane, Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco has ordered everyone to evacuate the city.

The past three mayors of New Orleans, including Sidney Barthelomew, Marc H. Morial, and C. Ray Nagin, issued official proclamations welcoming visitors to “Southern Decadence”. Additionally, New Orleans City Council made other proclamations recognizing the annual homosexual celebration.

“Although the loss of lives is deeply saddening, this act of God destroyed a wicked city,” stated Repent America director Michael Marcavage. “From ‘Girls Gone Wild’ to ‘Southern Decadence’, New Orleans was a city that opened its doors wide open to the public celebration of sin. May it never be the same,” he continued.

New Orleans is also known for its Mardi Gras parties where thousands of drunken men revel in the streets to exchange plastic jewelry for drunken women to expose their breasts. This annual event sparked the creation of the “Girls Gone Wild” video series.

“Let us pray for those ravaged by this disaster. However, we must not forget that the citizens of New Orleans tolerated and welcomed the wickedness in their city for so long,” Marcavage said. “May this act of God cause us all to think about what we tolerate in our city limits, and bring us trembling before the throne of Almighty God,” Marcavage concluded.

“[God] sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust”. (Matthew 5:45)

The fundies are already blaming this on man-on-horse sex, fags, and the stuff going on in Israel. It's amazing.

Hmm.. interesting. If I'm correct, the French Quarter of New Orleans was left in pretty good shape. I was watching the news earlier, and they even showed a bar opened in the French Quarter serving warm drinks.. no ice.

So, according to America Repent, God destroyed the city of New Orleans but didn't flood the French Quarter, where the 'Southern Decadence' takes place.

Plus, the gays weren't there yet so they all survived! That shoots many holes in that theory, don't ya think? Oh it doesn't merit being debated, its stupid ignorant baloney.

I'm listening to Randi's replay on bostonsprogressivetalk.com right now. She's talking about how they were locked in to die.

I won't be popular for saying so, but I don't think there should be a Southern Decadence thing. Celebrating, fine, but doing sexual things out in public (no matter WHAT your sexual preference) is disgusting.

God didn't cause this tragedy, He was there with the people...comforting, helping babies survive, giving people strength and courage. God gives us free will, and He's always there in the midst of chaos.

That's my belief and I'm stickin' to it.
