God damn America?
Two days after the 9/11 terrorist attack on the Twin Towers in NYC, Pat Robertson interviewed Rev. Jerry Falwell on Robertson’s 700 Club TV show. Falwell stated, and Robertson agreed, that the United States had brought this tragedy upon itself. The 9/11 attacks were a sign of God’s wrath for America’s wicked ways. Falwell said the terrorist attacks were “probably what we deserve.”
Falwell said, “What we saw on Tuesday, as terrible as it is, could be miniscule if, in fact, God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve.“
Robertson replied, “Well, Jerry, that’s my feeling. I think we’ve just seen the antechamber to terror, we haven’t begun to see what they can do to the major population.”
Falwell said, “The ACLU has got to take a lot of blame for this. And I know I’ll hear from them for this, but throwing God . . . successfully with the help of the federal court system . . . throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools, the abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked and when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad . . . I really believe that the pagans and the abortionists and the feminists and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way, all of them who try to secularize America . . . I point the thing in their face and say you helped this happen.“
Robertson said, “I totally concur, and the problem is we’ve adopted that agenda at the highest levels of our government, and so we’re responsible as a free society for what the top people do, and the top people, of course, is the court system.”

In September 2005 Hank Erwin, an Evangelical Republican State Senator in Alabama opined that Hurricane Katrina was caused by God’s judgment of damnation against the wicked ways of the City of New Orleans.
“Warnings year after year by godly evangelists and preachers went unheeded. So why were we surprised when finally the hand of judgment fell?” he wrote. “Sadly, innocents suffered along with the guilty. Sin always brings suffering to good people as well as the bad.“

This week the Vatican indicated drugs, pollution and genetic manipulations as well as social and economic injustices as new sins that would incur God’s damnation.
“Monsignor Gianfranco Girotti said in an interview published on Sunday by the Vatican’s daily newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano, that known sins increasingly manifest themselves as behavior that damages society as a whole.”
