If you want an example of how out of touch from reality the far Christian right is in the United States, look no further than here. In a press release, “Repent America” claims that God sent the hurricane to New Orleans because, well…I’ll let them explain it:

PHILADELPHIA – Just days before “Southern Decadence”, an annual homosexual celebration attracting tens of thousands of people to the French Quarters section of New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina 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.

Don’t these guys have anything better to do? Aren’t there cartoon characters to out?

UPDATE: Apparently, God is also mad at New Orleans for all the abortions going on there.

UPDATE 2: I asked for it, and one alert reader has sent in an instance of nutty left wing groups commenting on Katrina. While their statement is less bizarre in my opinion, the group is more credible. Follow the link and see how they’re helping fight the biggest problem in New Orleans today – overturned pig trucks.
