Good Christians on the Sabbath. Riot, rape and death; God left Louisiana.

Not deep enough to be a repudiation of omnipresence; just deep enough to be flooded, gutted, and razed.

Flight 2252, 757 heavy. You are cleared for take-off runway two-seven left.

Yeah well there are hardly any Christians where I live, and we haven't been pulped by any McHurricaines. It's like all those Muslim fundamentalists who believe the Tsunami was a message from God telling the Indonesians not to adopt Western customs, but to remain fully scarfed-up. Of course the message would have been rather more potent had the Tsunami struck the shores of California, where Nudity runs wide-rife, and where a Gentleman cannot walk Five Paces without brushing up against a Gay.
