Proof that God Hates Rudy Giuliani!

| Wed Jun. 6, 2007 5:40 AM PDT

During yesterday's Republican debate, Wolf Blitzer asked the pro-choice Rudy Giuliani about abortion. A Catholic bishop, Wolf said, had analogized Giuliani's stance, which is that abortions are wrong but should be available to American women anyway, to Pontius Pilate opposing the execution of Jesus but still allowing it to happen. When a somewhat shocked Rudy tried to explain himself, lightening actually hit the building, cutting off Giuliani's microphone. Everyone had a good laugh and Giuliani put forward a pretty good answer in the end, but RG should probably avoid golf courses, swimming pools, and summer rainstorms for a while. Somebody's out to get him.

Elsewhere in Catholic news, a man jumped a security barrier and tried to board the popemobile while Benedict was riding in it. These are turbulent times for people of faith, surely.

Pretty funny story.
I'd say God doesn't hate Rudy, but He's definitely trying to drive home a point with him.

LOL! Reminds me of a wedding I attended about ten years back, held in the midst of a dramatic thunderstorm. The priest asked the usual "if anyone objects..." only to be answered by a ten second long peal of thunder that rattled the windows (not to mention the groom) and had the entire congregation literally crying with laughter. True story.

I'd say if God hates any human being, he (God) probably isn't who we thought he was.

Well, at least I have one thing in common with god...

If you think hatred of one of your brothers is something you share with God, then you and I have a very different God.

"Go ahead and hate your neighbor; go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven; you can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing, come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after one tin soldier rides away."

With regards to Dennis Lambert, Brian Potter, and my old friends Jinx Dawson & Coven.
