Lightning Strikes Gay Radio Station; God Sought for Questioning

Friday August 15, 2003
A two-hour call-in show was cancelled on the Outlet Radio network when their facility was struck by lightning, destroying vital phone equipment. Lest anyone imagine that this was simply a random act of nature, just a few weeks ago the station had as a guest Maggie Phelps, oldest daughter of Baptist minister Fred "God Hates Fags" Phelps. According to Maggie, Fred has been praying that God "strike the station."

World Net Daily is there with the news:

When asked if he would be replacing the fried equipment, [Christian] Grantham said, "God-willing. … It's under warranty." He hopes to be back on the air with the call-in show on Sunday. ... "If our recent lightning strike is any indication, the Supreme Court Justices might want to ground themselves," said Oropesa, principle partner and co-host of the "Christian and Vince Show." "While I'm spreading the jinx, maybe God can curse us with equal marriage rights."

I'm sure that evangelical and fundamentalist Christians will latch on to this as a sign of God's wrath with homosexuals, sodomites, and all the other evil people who are contributing to the moral decay of Christian America. Now, where were they again back when lightning struck the Baptist church in Ohio? Was God angry at sodomites and homosexuals then, too, but just had lousy aim?
