An Open Letter to God, from Michael Moore

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

Dear God,

The other night, the Rev. James Dobson's ministry asked all believers to pray for a storm on Thursday night so that the Obama acceptance speech outdoors in Denver would have to be cancelled.


I see that You have answered Rev. Dobson's prayers -- except the storm You have sent to earth is not over Denver, but on its way to New Orleans! In fact, You have scheduled it to hit Louisiana at exactly the moment that George W. Bush is to deliver his speech at the Republican National Convention.


Now, heavenly Father, we all know You have a great sense of humor and impeccable timing. To send a hurricane on the third anniversary of the Katrina disaster AND right at the beginning of the Republican Convention was, at first blush, a stroke of divine irony. I don't blame You, I know You're angry that the Republicans tried to blame YOU for Katrina by calling it an "Act of God" -- when the truth was that the hurricane itself caused few casualties in New Orleans. Over a thousand people died because of the mistakes and neglect caused by humans, not You.


Some of us tried to help after Katrina hit, while Bush ate cake with McCain and twiddled his thumbs. I closed my office in New York and sent my entire staff down to New Orleans to help. I asked people on my website to contribute to the relief effort I organized -- and I ended up sending over two million dollars in donations, food, water, and supplies (collected from thousands of fans) to New Orleans while Bush's FEMA ice trucks were still driving around Maine three weeks later.


But this past Thursday night, the Washington Post reported that the Republicans had begun making plans to possibly postpone the convention. The AP had reported that there were no shelters set up in New Orleans for this storm, and that the levee repairs have not been adequate.
In other words, as the great Ronald Reagan would say, "There you go again!"

So the last thing John McCain and the Republicans needed was to have a split-screen on TVs across America: one side with Bush and McCain partying in St. Paul, and on the other side of the screen, live footage of their Republican administration screwing up once again while New Orleans drowns.


So, yes, You have scared the Jesus, Mary and Joseph out of them, and more than a few million of your followers tip their hats to You.


But now it appears that You haven't been having just a little fun with Bush & Co. It appears that Hurricane Gustav is truly heading to New Orleans and the Gulf coast. We hear You, O Lord, loud and clear, just as we did when Rev. Falwell said You made 9/11 happen because of all those gays and abortions. We beseech You, O Merciful One, not to punish us again as Pat Robertson said You did by giving us Katrina because of America's "wholesale slaughter of unborn children." His sentiments were echoed by other Republicans in 2005.


So this is my plea to you: Don't do this to Louisiana again. The Republicans got your message. They are scrambling and doing the best they can to get planes, trains and buses to New Orleans so that everyone can get out. They haven't sent the entire Louisiana National Guard to Iraq this time -- they are already patrolling the city streets. And, in a nod to I don't know what, Bush's head of FEMA has named a man to help manage the federal government's response. His name is W. Michael Moore. I kid you not, heavenly Father. They have sent a man with both my name AND W's to help save the Gulf Coast.


So please God, let the storm die out at sea. It's done enough damage already. If you do this one favor for me, I promise not to invoke your name again. I'll leave that to the followers of Rev. Dobson and to those gathering this week in St. Paul.


Your faithful servant and former seminarian,

P.S. To all of God's fellow children who are reading this, the city New Orleans has not yet recovered from Katrina. Please click here for a list of things you can do to help our brothers and sisters on the Gulf Coast. And, if you do live along the Gulf Coast, please take all necessary safety precautions immediately.

Micael Moore har laget mye bra han.

Her prøver han og være sarkastisk med de som tror på Gud og nærmest latterliggjøre Guds eksistens med att "det er så mye elendighet i verden visa", og denne gang er det trusselen mot New Orlans og denne orkanen.

Kansje det er like godt og drukkne det der stedet, for det er ett faktum att det har vert ikke bare USA s fattigste by, men også en av de mest kriminallt belastede.
Hovedgaten i ganmlebyen heter Burbon street..Bare det i seg selv...
Byen har vert ett knutepunkt for narkotikatrafikk og generellt en by som flyter i brennevin til alle årets tider. Her er paradiset for de som vil ha seg ett nyp på si, eller bare benytte seg av en av de talløse ** som alltid har hatt god butikk i New Orleans.

Kansje, Micael Moore, så vet Gud noe du ikke vet..?

Bra forklart metodisten

Det er så vidt jeg tør stille dette spørsmålet. Men appropo naturfenomener slik som dette.

Tror dere det er i teorien mulig at mennesker kan lage slikt?

Lage hva da, orkaner ?

[GJest]

Ja f.eks?

Hvis det er teoretisk mulig så hadde det vært spennende med et svar. Hvis dette da er mulig.

[Gjest]

Du skjønner metodisten, KB er konspirasjonsteorijunker. :mozilla_laughing:

[GJest]

mja.. De fleste tingene jeg påstår kan jeg vise kilder til. Det jeg spør spørsmål om eller synser om kan være mer teori.

Det jeg lurte på var bare hvor langt vi var kommet teknologisk med å skape vind. Jeg regner med vi ikke har energi nok til å skape en orkan f.eks. Men sterke stormer er nok mulig, hvis ikke jeg husker feil har jeg sett dette blir gjort i labratorier.

Vi har jo også andre ekspeirmenter som er temmelig mektige, slik som det i CERN nå.

orgone cloudbustere, og andre litt morsomme teknikker er fullt mulig å lage, med enten magnetsik eller elektrisk lading, og videreutviklingen av dr. reich sin enkle orgone, som jo førte ham i arresten av amerikanske myndigheter, hvor de fratok ham alt materiale (og livet), og fortsatte å videreutvikle, ja se, det er vel teorier på at det er disse som i større skala benyttes for å "hause" opp været, så goddotter skal se at det er en klimaendring som gjør at vi må begynne å betale høyere skatter, osv, osv. fordi det skyldes på oljebruken, og ikke på peakoil, som er et faktum, og så var det disse grensene og sørgelige lands beliggenheter hvor stormaktene kjemper om sitt "land" og alt egentlig handler om å skipe olje til våres livslykkekolik..

morsomme de....

Flott svar, ?

Hva med HAARP? Er det bare konspirasjonsteori av den villeste sort?
