ACT OF GOD DESTROYS NEW ORLEANS DAYS BEFORE "SOUTHERN DECADENCE"
PHILADELPHIA - 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)

It sounds like Michael Marcavage is *quite* familiar with the "Girls Gone Wild" video series. Hmmm. I wouldn't be all that surprised if he purchased the whole collection (and a box of Kleenex) for "research purposes".
Sickening. Who would have thought that religous organisations would be come the ambulance chasers of the new generation.
There's all kinds of stupid, huh? Really do enjoy your blog.
You're blogs great! I didn't realise so many people were this crazy!
Waiting for your post of rage. . .
Great stuff...
The danger is to assume that because people who call themselves "Christians" say crap like this means that all Christians believe it.
That is just not so.
I've found it particularly funny that these folks who think they know who and what is on God's targeting screen somehow missed the fact that the place that was LEAST devastated was the infamous French Quarter - and that somehow more than 1200 churches in New Orleans were destroyed along with the "sinners."
Not to mention that our own bible tells each of us that "all have sinned & fallen short of the glory of God," so where the hell do they get off playing judge and jury?
I linked to your post in my morning posting over here.
There are those of us (many, in fact) who find that "Christian" and "fucking nuts" can be mutually exclusive. Don't give up on us entirely. Some of us really do believe this crap about loving one's neighbor. We just don't get much press, for some reason...
Great blog. Keep it up.
