Religious  right group, heralded by top religious right leaders, says 
God destroyed New  Orleans because of gays

Oh yes.

And lest anyone write this off as  the musings of fringe nutjobs, 
this group is hardly Fred Phelps.

This  is a group that has been defended by scores of lead religious 
right  organizations in just the past year, including the Southern 
Baptist  Convention, Center for Reclaiming America (attached to D. 
James Kennedy),  the American Family Association's AgapePress, 
WorldNetDaily, the men over at  the Concerned Women for America, Lou 
Sheldon's Traditional Values Coaltion,  the freepers, and more.

Here's what this darling of the religious right  had to say about New 
Orleans:

An evangelical  Christian group that regularly demonstrates at 
LGBT events is blaming gays  for hurricane Katrina.

Repent America says that God  "destroyed" New Orleans because of 
Southern Decadence, the gay festival that  was to have taken place in 
the city over the Labor Day  weekend.
