Maybe we could convince the Christian separatists to move to Sudan, where a right-wing insane-o theocracy might actually be a step up from what those poor people have right now.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
More to the point, hello! Don't these people READ the Bible? I am an unbelieving reprobate and even I know about the rainbow sign, and how it means I promise that next time I totally destroy you it won't be with water.
Ah, but this is only partial destruction. Seems the Almighty found a loop-hole.

I thought it was right wing insano theocrats that were the problem in the Sudan.

I thought it was sheer anarchy combined with marauding bands of nutcases with machetes.

Silence means security silence means approval
"Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture has long advocated the idea of teaching the strengths and weaknesses about Darwinian evolution."
The problem is that in order to do this, you have to teach Darwinian evolution AND have a viable alternative scientific model, and the conserva-fundies don't want to do the former and have nothing for the latter. So, while they're all for "teaching the strengths and weaknesses," they don't have an ID package that can be easily put into a science book.

I'm kinda pissy about the attitude the coasts have towards Flyover-Jesusland.
I'll bet that New Orleans proper was a blue spot on the more detailed maps of red and blue.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Damn.
August 31,2005 | NEW ORLEANS -- The mayor said Wednesday that Hurricane Katrina probably killed thousands of people in New Orleans.
"We know there is a significant number of dead bodies in the water," and other people dead in attics, Mayor Ray Nagin said. Asked how many, he said: "Minimum, hundreds. Most likely, thousands."

If its sinners God is after he broke the wrong levy.
Seriously. The French Quarter is in better shape than so much else.
Either God goofed up or he ISN'T exacting horrible revenge. Sheesh. You'd think even the nuttiest fundie nut would see that their logic is shaky.
