A message from Hurricane Katrina Survivors

Adam Tanner, a journalist who has this (myway.com) post, lists some inspiring stories with words of warning from those who survived. One touching cluster of sentences are of a black man who overcomes his "distrust of white" man after some white folk take care of his needs.

The stupid irony in this article is that it ends with these words: "People need material aid, medical care and economic support -- not prayers and preaching," says Ellen Johnson, president of American Atheist. Let me ask, which a-theist hospital opened it's doors to these survivors? Which a-theist organization showed up with aid? Well, if you count the federal and state governments, you may have a point. But that's only because atheism has been imposed on those authorities. Ellen Johnson, like most a-theistic philosophy, illustrates the hypocrite she is and that her religious world-view fails her dictums.

Look to foreign periodicals (on the web) to give you better coverage of this hurricane and it's damage. The USA news sources seem too obsessed with blaming the hurricane on President Bush and anyone else in authority who do not associate with of their post-modern worldview.
