A CONTROVERSIAL church group has called on Prime Minister Julia Gillard to fall on her knees in prayer in the midst of the looming cyclone crisis facing Queensland.
“It is very sad that this dark chapter in Australia’s history is led by an atheist Prime Minister in Julia Gillard and an openly homosexual Greens leader… both who have no regard for God nor prayer,” Catch the Fire Ministeries said in a statement today.
President Dr Daniel Nalliah said Julia Gillard was not elected by the majority of the Australian people, but rather the personal decision of two power hungry independent MPs who catapulted Ms Gillard to the top job.
“Are we Aussies all paying for that decision? It is very well known that throughout history, in a time of national crisis, kings, prime ministers and presidents of countries around the world have turned to God, irrespective of whether they were Christian, Buddhist, Hindu or Muslim and asked for help or at least called the nation to pray for protection and for the victims of the disaster,” Dr Nalliah said.
Haha, we are so powerful!

These folks are desperate for attention, and we feed them easily. There should be a mechanism for quick and public shunning of these tiny-brained fear mongers, both in OZ and the USA.
Same old demented, ignorant garbage from a bunch of know-nothings. One would hope they could at least be original now and then. Idiots.
I’m so glad to know I contributed to such a natural disaster. I’m also comforted to know that it couldn’t have possibly been caused by a record warming of the Pacific Ocean.
Peeraze the Baby Jeebus.

Uhh… Buddhists don’t believe in the power of divine prayer.
Is Catch the Fire Ministries the best name for a cult in Australia? That’s like a religious cult in California calling itself the Trembling Earth Mudslide Ministries.
Gays and Atheists Cause Natural Disaster! YAWN.
It’s “Christians” like those in the Catch Fire Ministries that give all other Christians a bad name. Honestly, who are these people? How big is their church and what denomination are they affiliated with? They no more represent the thoughts and beliefs of everyday Australian Christians than the Huttaree Militia in Michigan, or Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas, or that crazy Koran-burning one in Florida does. I agree with Charlie, if we just ignore these people and don’t feed into their crazy, then they will go away.
Isn’t it amazing how we can cause natural disasters (on the other side of the globe, no less) yet we still can’t secure for ourselves basic civil rights?
Interesting that the TalEvan thinks we can cause natural disasters when we’re not even trying, but they never consider what might happen if we get pissed off enough to really concentrate.
Cuz you don’t even wanna THINK about what happens when gays concentrate.
