Bobby Jindal's Prayer Rally Materials Blame Gays & Legal Abortion For Hurricane Katrina

Story here

From the article:

Jindal’s prayer rally appears to be so closely modeled after Perry’s that its organizers are even reusing materials from the 2011 Texas event, including a prayer guide contending that natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina and the tornado in Joplin, Missouri, were the result of God’s displeasure with the “alternative lifestyle” of homosexuality, marriage equality, legal abortion, and Internet pornography.

Someone I trust far more than you informed me that Hurricane Katrina put the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary under several feet of water, and left the Gay section of New Orleans high and dry.

If God's displeased with the "alternative lifestyle" of Homosexuality, he has a funny way of showing it.
