Hagee Says Hurricane Katrina Struck New Orleans Because It Was ‘Planning A Sinful’ ‘Homosexual Rally’
Hagee Says Hurricane Katrina Struck New Orleans Because It Was ‘Planning A Sinful’ ‘Homosexual Rally’
On September 18, 2006, Pastor John Hagee — whose endorsement Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said this past Sunday he was “glad to have” — told NPR’s Terry Gross that “Hurricane Katrina was, in fact, the judgment of God against the city of New Orleans.” “New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God,” Hagee said, because “there was to be a homosexual parade there on the Monday that the Katrina came.”
On his radio show yesterday, right-wing talker Dennis Prager asked Hagee to respond to “the various charges made against him” in a fact sheet put out by the Democratic National Committee. Asked about his comments on Hurricane Katrina, Hagee said “the topic of that day was cursing and blessing”:
HAGEE: Yes. The topic of that day was cursing and blessing. … What happened in New Orleans looked like the curse of God, in time if New Orleans recovers and becomes the pristine city it can become it may in time be called a blessing. But at this time it’s called a curse.
Prager followed up by asking if all natural disasters are a result of “the divine hand” and if there is “any natural disaster that is not the result of sin?” Hagee responded by saying “it’s a result of God’s permissible will” and “that there was going to be a massive homosexual rally there the following Monday,” which he said “was sin”:
PRAGER: Right, but in the case, did NPR get, is this quote correct though that in the case of New Orleans you do feel it was sin?
HAGEE: In the case of New Orleans, their plan to have that homosexual rally was sin. But it never happened. The rally never happened.
PRAGER: No, I understand.
HAGEE: It was scheduled that Monday.
PRAGER: No, I’m only trying to understand that in the case of New Orleans, you do feel that God’s hand was in it because of a sinful city?
HAGEE: That it was a city that was planning a sinful conduct, yes.
Unconvinced by Hagee’s explanation, Prager said “frankly” that critics “can get you” for those comments “because people don’t like to hear that sort of thing.”
Listen here:
In February, after working hard to gain Hagee’s endorsement, McCain said he was “very honored” to receive it. Since then, he has both “repudiate[d]” and defended Hagee’s anti-Catholic and “anti-anything” remarks. But as Think Progress has noted, McCain has never specifically commented on Hagee’s offensive beliefs about Hurricane Katrina or his anti-gay comments.
Given the fact that McCain will be in New Orleans tomorrow, will reporters ask whether he agrees with Hagee’s belief that the devastated city was cursed because of a gay pride parade? We’ll be watching.
Transcript:
PRAGER: Now, they have you on Hurricane Katrina, quote, from NPR two double-o six: “All hurricanes are acts of God because God controls the heavens. I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God and they were recipients of the judgment of God for that.” Go ahead.HAGEE: Yes. The topic of that day was cursing and blessing. Moses taught in the book of Deuteronomy that everything in life is either a blessing or a curse. There are days that things happen that at the time look like a curse. In the passing of time, they may become what appears to be a blessing. An illustration is Joseph, when he was sold into slavery it looked like a curse, it looked like the worse day of his life. When his brothers came into Egypt looking for food, what looked like a bad day 13 years before turned out to be a blessed day. What happened in New Orleans looked like the curse of God, in time if New Orleans recovers and becomes the pristine city it can become it may in time be called a blessing. But at this time it’s called a curse.
PRAGER: Right, but what you were saying and, I want to just make it clear that there is a divine hand in these natural acts and you see the divine hand in the hurricane that hit New Orleans.
HAGEE: If God is almighty and God is all powerful, God controls everything. If God does not control everything, he is not God. So the answer of that is yes.
PRAGER: Right. The only question, and this is not a challenge as much as my own theological question to that, is this is really Dennis speaking, not you know, not some official questioner. But if that’s the case so that would hold true for the earthquake and the tsunami, the earthquake in southern California, the tsunami that hit Indonesia. Is that, so is there any natural disaster that is not the result of sin?
HAGEE: Well, I’m not saying it’s a result of sin, I’m saying it’s a result of God’s permissible will. You cannot say that everything on the Earth that happens is sin. It was carried in a newspaper that there was going to be a massive homosexual rally there the following Monday. Ah, but and I believe that homosexual marriage is sin and I believe that it’s an abomination because Moses said it was. But it is wrong to say that every natural disaster is the result of sin. It is a result of God’s permissive will, but who no man on Earth knows the mind of God…
PRAGER: Right, but in the case, did NPR get, is this quote correct though that in the case of New Orleans you do feel it was sin?
HAGEE: In the case of New Orleans, their plan to have that homosexual rally was sin. But it never happened. The rally never happened.
PRAGER: No, I understand.
HAGEE: It was scheduled that Monday.
PRAGER: No, I’m only trying to understand that in the case of New Orleans, you do feel that God’s hand was in it because of a sinful city?
HAGEE: That it was a city that was planning a sinful conduct, yes.
PRAGER: Ok, so that is the only I think, frankly, it’s the only one they can get you on because people don’t like to hear that sort of thing. But even so, I think that, I’ve always given religious people leeway, religious leaders on saying that we ourselves have sinned, and God has his own judgments. I mean the prophets used to do that, so that’s you know, that’s up to anybody to interpret the way they want. I mean, when the left says that we sin against the environment and we end up getting x or y, nobody says that that’s illegitimate.
HAGEE: Well, I know that in our society, that is what I call politically correct, no one likes to hear that there is a God who has the power to correct man for his behavior that does not fall within the parameters of the word of God. That’s why secular humanists hate the bible because it gives a definite standard of right and wrong. There’s light and darkness, there’s wheat and pears, there’s sheep and goats. You can’t be all things to all people. You either do live by the word of God or you don’t live by the word of God. And there’s nothing in between. And…and our secular permissive society, that’s just a hateful idea.
PRAGER: Alright, I’m going to let you go, but…and I’m going to take calls that are coming in on this.

Even if a reporter asks about it, McCain will probably just laugh it off, there won’t be any follow-up questions and that’ll be that!
Except that now you’ve probably summoned Parodyll…
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:47 amPastor Hagee is right. What ever you sow, you will reap.
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:47 amWhy doesn’t God strike down EVERY gay parade? Why strike down poor families instead?
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:48 amIf God hates homosexuals, why did He let Jeff Gannon (R) in the White House? Why did He let Cheney (R) and Alan Keyes (R) breed gay children? Why did He let Craig (R) pick up men in airport restrooms?
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:48 amWell, if we are to believe this nut case why hasen’t his god struck down all the republican, closeted gay’s and pedafile’s.? Crap on a crutch, these bible thumper’s are pure crazy..They are not christian’s, just lunatick business men in a BIG BUSINESS selling hate and fear…Blessings
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:49 am“New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God,” Hagee said, because “there was to be a homosexual parade there on the Monday that the Katrina came.”
He can’t be wrong….he got his information about the Katrina on the google.

Then why didn’t it strike the “gay” neighborhoods the hardest?
__________________________________________
And why didn’t it strike San Francisco instead of New Orleans? SF probably has more “gay” events than any other major city in the country.
Hagee is just like all the rest of those who exploit religion to justify their bigotry. They will take any natural disaster and twist it to fit their agenda, knowing that their faithful will gobble it up.
Everybody knows that if God really wanted to smite sinners in the United States, he’d probably start with Washington DC.
The real question is if McCain will repudiate Hagee’s anti-gay remarks. My guess is no.
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:55 amPeople of faith, nor their faith, should be tolerated. THIS is what we get for tolerating them . . . roaches and knuckle-draggers all.

If you do not follow Acts 2:38, you will a chance to feel hell’s fire for eternity. One day, you will wake up and notice that a few thousand people are gone, and the only items that will still be on this earth is their worldly belongings. Don’t find yourself on this earth after the rapture.
1 Thessalonians 5
1But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
12And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
13And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
14Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
15See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
16Rejoice evermore.
17Pray without ceasing.
18In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
19Quench not the Spirit.
20Despise not prophesyings.
21Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
22Abstain from all appearance of evil.
23And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
25Brethren, pray for us.
26Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.
27I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
28The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

There is a difference, God’s uses these scenarios, which affect my life, to show that I am faithful to him. New Orleans public officials (Democrats) intentionally allow sin to be practiced. Therefore, God gives them punishment for their sinful deeds.

God wrathfully destroyed New Orleans. Christians are
supposed to strive to be like God. Therefore, shouldn’t
Christians be wrathful?
epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
So, Daryll, why are you “reading” it to us unholy heathens?

Doesn’t take much to summon Parodyll to a thread. Just mention gays and voila! There he is! Pavlov’s dog effect.
I wonder why some people are so hung up on other people’s lifestyles.

I suspect it has to do with pre-occupation with what other people are doing in their bedrooms. People like Daryll can feel better about fantasizing about sex if they do so with some righteous indignation.
It’s like the two prim and proper old ladies examining a porn rag at a newsstand.

Jeez, Biblethumpers make me sick with their sanctimonious pronouncements as self-appointed arbiters of right and wrong.
Did Jesus condemn homosexuals; prostitutes; beggars, or the poor? I think he only railed at the moneychangers in the temple — you know, the ones who made money on the sinners.

BECK: End of the world as we know it in five years, 10 years, 20 years?
HAGEE: I don’t think we’ll get past 20 years.
BECK: Putin, is he part of the biblical prophecy?
HAGEE: I believe that he’s the man that’s going to cause Russia to unite the Islamic nations against Israel.
BECK: I think he’s done most of it already. Worst U.S. president in history?
HAGEE: Jimmy Carter.
BECK: I just want to shake your hand on that one.

“I mean the prophets used to do that, so that’s you know, that’s up to anybody to interpret the way they want. I mean, when the left says that we sin against the environment and we end up getting x or y, nobody says that that’s illegitimate.”

April 23rd, 2008 at 1:06 pmI’m still waiting for FOX News to comment. You know the friends of the candidate says a lot about the candidate. What BS this system has become. This says a lot about our country.
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:07 pmSo why weren’t other cities a target of God’s homophobia? By Hagee’s logic, I suppose if San Fran was built below sea level, located in the hurricane belt, and was protected by an inadequate levee system, they would have felt God’s wrath also. That just makes God sound lazy, picking on an easy target like NO.
The last major earthquake in the bay area was almost 20 years ago, and I don’t think they got the message because San Fran isn’t any less gay today. If God is punishing the gays, he’s doing a pretty lousy job. And isn’t it just like God to take out the poor in NO along with the gays. They may not have been gay, but they sure didn’t do much to stop all that gayness.
I think there’s a pretty clear causal link: Gays cause hurricanes.
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:07 pmThe Black church hate Gays more than anybody!
I read an article once which stated that black men who were in prison, and engaged in sex with other men, once released, did not consider themselves homosexuals. In fact, the essay concluded that “activity” among prisoners is more about power than pleasure.
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:09 pmJust food for thought, Daryll. And yes, the article did refer to them as “black”.
More hatemongering from the REICH WING, just more of the same from Hagee and McFlipflopper is still standing by the hate filled man of god (supposedly). So, when does GoD send his hatefilled message on Washington, D.C. and the Bushco crime family that virtually did nothing to help minorities,the poor,the homeless Veterans and eveyone else in New Orleans. Mr.Hagee does nothing for the Reich Wing but hurt the Reich and I am glad for that.

April 23rd, 2008 at 1:14 pmMan, after rereading what I posted #91, it kind of has the tone of racism to it (”the article did refer to ‘them’”).
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:14 pmI should further elaborate.
The article was referring to the increased HIV infections among the African American community, especially those among the lower income. It went on to compare situations (post prison) to those of other ethnicities. Thus my improper placement of “them” in the last sentence.
My sincerest apologies if I offended anyone.
Hagee also makes disparaging statements about Catholics. And yet 60% of the Democratic Catholics in PA, in an exit poll, said they would not vote for Obama. I guess that makes the PA Catholics a bunch of bigots.

Hagee was gettng busy with Diana while still married to Martha but that’s ok for him but sinful for others. I noticed Hagee had no problem with Senator Vitters conduct but everyone else is bad.

April 23rd, 2008 at 1:40 pm#1 of 20 questions the media will never ask John McCain:
1. Do you agree with Pastor John Hagee that war with Iran is the fulfillment of biblical prophecy?
In February, you shared a stage with Pastor John Hagee and said you were “very proud” to have his endorsement. You also called the Reverend Rod Parsley, a man who said of Islam “America was founded, in part, with the intention of seeing this false religion destroyed”, your “spiritual guide.” Do you believe America’s mission is to destroy Islam? Do you join Pastor Hagee in believing the United States must attack Iran to fulfill the biblical prophecy of Armageddon in Israel in which 144,000 Jews will be converted to Christianity and the rest killed? Is that why you joked about “bomb bomb Iran?” If not, why will you not renounce the support of Hagee and Parsley?

I love the way televangelist and (Men of God) only talk about God’s rath. These are the same type of men that have for thousands of years killed in the name of God, as justification.
This comparison seems a little off to bitblt since commercial television has only been around for a little over sixty years.
Further, often the deaths you attribute to “…in the name of God…” where actually due to something else.
Take the movie “Kingdom of Heaven” as an example. In this movie, the phrase “God wills it!” is used as justification for political power plays including starting wars.
Much of that sort of manipulation went away after Bibles became common.
Using the faith of believers to manipulate them still happens. It doesn’t means there is something wrong with Christianity.
BTW, since you didn’t mention a better substitute for faith, bitblt will assume you don’t have one. You may want to consider that it’s as good as it can get with the influence of Christianity. After all, there’s no reason to assume that the last 20 century would magically improve if Christianity had been left out.
In addition, bitblt, being an Evangelical, doesn’t know a single “Man of God” who talks exclusively about God’s wrath. Perhaps, your take-a-way from television evangelists is just the part about wrath. This would seem plausible since you don’t suggest that you believe in Christ, and if this is the case – you don’t believe in Christ, the wrath of God would be the part of the story with which you may find an interest.
There is a Biblical account of several cities being destroyed because of their extreme wickedness – homosexuality. This account is in Genesis 19.
Isaiah remarks on this catastrophic event by making a comparison: “You parade your sin like Sodom.”
This quote would seem an apt description for the Southern Decadence Festival – at least to bitblt. This festival touts itself as a celebration of the gay lifestyle, and is estimated to be worth $100 M dollars to NOLA economy. If you’ve ever wondered why God destroyed all the inhabitants of Sodom, this estimate should give some insight into the reason that the entire city was destroyed. They were all involved and benefited from the evil.
They have caused more bloodshed and wars than anything in history, all in the name of a god. But gay men are sinful…right…. (Heavy, heavy sarcasm)
Believe the league leaders in the deaths due to ideologies category are the Communists who are officially -atheists. Their totals were racked up in only the twentieth century.
If RoeVWade gets another thirty years, the distinction of being the league leader may pass to the US which has allowed unborn to be destroyed due to an ideology - a woman expresses her individual liberty by destroying her unborn..
April 23rd, 2008 at 2:05 pmHey bitblt
Hollywood movies such as “Kingdom of Heaven” are about as accurate as Chimpy’s depiction of Iraq and the economy , you moron.
Actually , the movie itself is less violent than what actually transpired in history ……………

April 23rd, 2008 at 2:09 pmBTW, since you didn’t mention a better substitute for faith, bitblt will assume you don’t have one.
Morality and spiritualism , without the burden of fraudulent religions , is far superior to your “faith”.
I mean , look what it’s done to you ; you believe a gang of criminals are good for the country.
You want to thank Christianity now for that ; or perhaps wait until later ?

How come bitblt is okay with lauding and supporting an administration that has men having sex with men in the White House though ?

This is a very assumptive statement, McMetal. Basically, bitblt has no idea what you mean.
Believe if you check you’ll find that bitblt never mentions the administration or makes any remarks about the goodness or badness of the current contenders for office. So, the “lauding” part is completely out.
OTOH, bitblt did mail his taxes last week and that does pay the salary of the Republicans in the White House – as well as the Democrats in Congress - but he doesn’t consider that a partisan act because he plans to pay his taxes next year, too.

Are you attempting to claim you’ve never given kudos to the Chimpy administration ?
Isn’t lying a sin ?

Off topic — AGAIN. **eyes rolling**
This is a health and family issue, moron. Most women who have abortions are women who already have children. Women need to take care of the children they have, and you need to mind your own business.
