Shooting Fish In a Barrel
I remember hearing this after 9-11, and I always thought it was priceless. If I recall correctly, wasn't he talking to Pat Robertson at the time? Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part. Anyway, it's a great example of how incomprehensible fundie logic is.
I guess we're supposed to believe that Falwell's Big Strong Christian God used Islamic terrorists to carry out His will. If that's true, why would Falwell consider it such a tragedy? And why would any American fundamentalist call for retaliation against the terrorists if in fact they were carrying out the will of the Christian God? etc. etc.

Don't Quote Me
We seem to have a believer with similar views among us. Just today, Lysimachus posted these words in the Bible Prophecy thread. I clicked it by mistake, honest.
Lysimachus writes:
God blessed America because it was founded on Christian principles (even though there were many unchristian principles intermingled). However, I want you to notice a trend. The more America begins to bring down the morals of this country, the more God's Holy Spirit will be withdrawn from this nation and will be less protected. As America continues to decline (i.e. by allowing gay marriages to finally take full sway nation wide), terrorism will begin to increase, and the security of this nation will begin to decline as far as providing the necessary security for this country. This nation will begin to rapidly decline, and it will be no longer a country of safety.
God is trying to tell America to wake up, but instead, are drifting away from moral principles. The more America drifts away from moral principles, the more you will see danger and insecurity increase.
So don't let anyone say that only rich televangelists can make ridiculous, homophobic, illogical pronouncements. The rank and file seem to be quite capable of doing so themselves.

Esteban Hambre
