Although this question relates to the flood in New Orleans, my question is actually about a TV evangelist, who, I am told declared that the disaster was a sign from God that he does not like Gays (a Lesbian specifically) on American TV.

I would appreciate it if anyone here can tell me the dude's name and even better, a link to his comments. I have been told that the page his comments were published on has been removed (or expired).

I have great proof of this so do as you like as always, but please keep your bias out of things and try to answer with some of the knowledge you have been granted as a mercy and blessing.

Not people who are depressed for a moment, but people who constantly feel alone. For every 8 suicidal and depressed patients that check out, another 8 is waiting to take their beds. How can this revolving door be closed?

Why do modern Christians still use the Pisces Zodiac symbol, the two fishes, as a representation Jesus Christ? Or better yet, why did early Christians use a zodiac symbol in place of their deity, Jesus?

alsalamo alikom my friends
what do you think of the relations between Muslims and Christians?
Allah says in the holy Koran (translation) :
[5.82] Certainly you will find the most violent of people in enmity for those who believe (to be) the Jews and those who are polytheists, and you will certainly find the nearest in friendship to those who believe (to be) those who say: We are Christians; this is because there are priests and monks among them and because they do not behave proudly.
[5.83] And when they hear what has been revealed to the apostle you will see their eyes overflowing with tears on account of the truth that they recognize; they say: Our Lord! we believe, so write us down with the witnesses (of truth).
[5.84] And what (reason) have we that we should not believe in Allah and in the truth that has come to us, while we earnestly desire that our Lord should cause us to enter with the good people?
[5.85] Therefore Allah rewarded them on account of what they said, with gardens in which rivers flow to abide in them; and this is the reward of those who do good (to others).
[5.86] And (as for) those who disbelieve and reject Our communications, these are the companions of the flame.

Santa wears a red suit and satan is often depicted in a red suit.
satan lives in hell which is supposed to be rather hot and santa lives at the north pole, which is the opposite
santa gives gifts every year, and satan takes souls
i'm sure there are many other similarities.

When you watch the Salvation Army bell jiggler, what do you think? I think of mass stupidity. Bush gave $30 billion to Africa for supposedly "AIDS". Do you know that every Salvation Army jiggler across the entire nation for the last 100 years combined only took in a fraction of the $30 billion Bush gave to Africa? I had a gross of just over $199,000 and paid federal taxes of $51,400. This does not even count the SS taxes and medicare taxes. Since the US budget has 78% going toward social welfare, 78% of my taxes went into "forced charitable giving"--I was forced to give $40,092 to charity by the Federal govt.

If people realized how much forced charity they give in taxes, they would do as I do and not give one penny to any charity. If people would hold the USA government accountable for its tax waste and fraud, and the sending of BILLIONS of tax dollars to corrupt nations, without any form of auditing where that money goes, they would not give one penny to charity.
