Go start a sick cult on another planet and stop bother us with...

This

Rabat---Thousands of 'Islamists' took to the streets, yesterday in Rabat, in support of Attajdid newspaper, which is close to Morocco's moderate Islamic Justice and Development Party (PJD). The newspaper had called the Tsunami's disaster "an act of divine retribution" for South-East Asia's sex-tourism industry. The paper also outraged 'moderates' by implying that Morocco risked the same fate because of a growth of prostitution and sex tourism in the kingdom, a phenomenon it described as a "calamity".

And this

à The tsunami that ravaged southern Asia last month was God ­s punishment for world support for Israel à ­s plan to withdraw from the Gaza Strip, a former chief rabbi has claimed.

à ¬When the Holy One, Blessed be He, is angry with the nations of the world that don à ­t help Israel à ± but want to evacuate and disengage, and interfere in our affairs and harm us à ñ then the Holy One, Blessed be He, claps his hands in sadness, and this causes the quake, ® former Israeli Chief Rabbi Mordechai Eliahu told the ultra-Orthodox Ma à ­ayanei Hayeshua magazine.

And this
At this morning's 109th Congressional Prayer Service, Tom DeLay stepped up to the podium and decided to read this timely little piece of the Bible:
A reading of the Gospel, in Matthew 7:21 through 27.

Not every one who says to me, "Lord, Lord," will enter the kingdom of heaven; but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.

Many will say to me on that day, "Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?"

Then I will declare to them solemnly, "I never knew you: depart from me, you evil doers."

Everyone who listens to these words of mine, and acts on them, will be like a wise man, who built his house on a rock:

The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew, and buffeted the house, but it did not collapse; it has been set solidly on rock.

And everyone who listens to these words of mine, but does not act on them, will be like a fool who built his house on sand:

The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew, and buffeted the house, and it collapsed and was completely ruined.
And this was apropos of... what, exactly?
