It's all our fault. We apologize.

Anne Graham Lotz, Billy Graham's not-so-famous daughter, runs something called AnGeL Ministries, which is apparently a North Carolina Church.

She says God has gotten so angry at "transgender silliness," that he let 9/11 happen, has let historically bad weather kill people all over the country, and is bring chaos to the land.

It must be true.

North Carolina’s governor ruled that people must use the bathroom corresponding to the gender on their birth certificate – sparking a wave of anger from gay rights groups and boycotts by businesses, entertainers and tourists. But Mrs Graham Lotz said the gay rights protest was an example of the “craziness” which was angering God.

There is silliness, there is craziness, there’s the most illogical rulings.

The one in North Carolina on HB2, which is to protect our children in bathrooms and locker rooms, has become something where the justice department is suing us for something that’s just common sense.

To me it’s evidence that God has backed away.

Our nation seems to be shaking its fist in God’s face, we’re abandoning God as a nation.

What happens then is God abandons us and backs away, he takes his favor and blessing away from us.

I think that’s why God allows bad things to happen. I think that’s why he would allow 9/11 to happen, or the dreadful attack in San Bernardino. To show us we need him.

--Lotz

Her brother Franklin claimed in a recent Russian interview that homosexuals steal children.

Homosexuals cannot have children, they can take other people’s children.

Sorry also about the Global Warming thing. And Donald Trump.

Cancer? That was us. And Alzheimer's.

The concept of war? Our bad.

I'll be gone to the desert for awhile beginning tomorrow.

might explain why you're agnostic.

I've always suspected God has a special treatment for self-righteous hypocrites... fatal weather patterns.

Too bad She's so laissez-faire about the congenitally insane Grahams.

There is no such thing as TMI. It can always be held in reserve for extortion.

Surely you've read the old testament. The story of Joshua at Jericho is what got me questioning the whole shebang as a 2nd or 3rd grader at a Protestant private school. I asked too many questions to be a good little sheep for my teachers.

But what about the commandment about killing? So, we're supposed to kill anyone who has a different God?

And, but if God told Josh he wasn't supposed to pillage"this" time, that means he did all other times, so what about the commandment about stealing?

As for the gender listed on birth certificates, are we all supposed to be carrying ours around? When I'm sporting a ball cap, I have a tendency to look an awful lot like Buck from United States of Terra. I could be mistaken for an "icky" trans person. Maybe I should just carry it when I'm unintentionally looking a bit too butch for the Puritans. Fucking loons!

A long time ago, before they let all us unwashed masses into the internet, there was the FidoNet. In the FidoNet existed an "echo", i.e., a message board or proto-blog, called HOLYSMOKE. (Under FidoTech, echo names were always in all caps.) HOLYSMOKE existed for unfettered debate on the subject of religion.

Here's a short conversation from that Echo:

Fundie: God's word is the only answer.
Thinking Person 1: To what question?
Fundie: To any question.
Thinking Person 2: Oh, really....

"What would you like on your sandwich?"
"God's word"

"How do you fix a toaster?"
"God's word"

"What the hell are you doing to that sheep?"
"God's word" (This one could really happen)

source

I recommend the entirety of the HOLYSMOKE Archives located here for great laughs and much entertainment, at least if you're not a fundy.

I miss the old place these days..... sigh.....

Any chance you were also in PODSNET? Your handle seems so familiar to me...

And yes, I miss the old place, too. Ya know, I even miss all the tricks of getting the whole setup to run consistently, too! I remember more than a few times I called in late for work-- had to fix my d'Bridge because it wasn't tossing the mail correctly!

Any chance you were also in PODSNET?

Yes. I was one of the "founding fathers" of that network.

I didn't use the "thanatokephaloides" handle then, though; if I used a handle at all, it was usually some permutation of the family names around Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus. Normally, though, I used my regular name: Sean McCullough.

That's a major part of the reason I'm "out" here and at TOP. I've been "out" for years!

and for added measure, Billy Joe Hargis, waaay more confrontational. Former, during HS, when I was a committed non-believer with many believer friends. Interesting study. I wish I had been older for a better cynical patina.

The Hargis attendance was in a small venue, as a Date with another non-believer. It got scary enough that anything overt would likely go bad, so just an odd date.

Making a living off of supposedly being superior in God's eyes, while all they have done is fleece the rubes. My understanding is that it was Billy Graham who managed to get a lot of the stupidity of the 50s done, such as in God we trust on our money and the changes to the Pledge of Allegiance.

every week in school, (I'm a 5th grade public school teacher). I always leave out the "Under God", when we're saying it. Surprisingly, none of my fifth graders have asked me about it. Perhaps they haven't noticed. I keep waiting for someone to say something so I can do a quick "mini-lesson" on church and state.

If he is the supreme being and creator, he created all the people and plants. No exceptions. Therefore, if you have a problem with any of God's flora or fauna, you are blasphemous and questioning the judgement of the Lord. Just sayin'.

last night. Today, after it has rolled around in my brain for a while, I came to the conclusion that Mrs. Lotz has a very angry, vindictive god.

Sometimes I think that some of these people don't really worship the Creator but actually worship vindictiveness itself.

But she's right. It is your fault. Remember the Hindenburg disaster? That was your fault, too.
