I lived in a suburb of New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina hit. During the chaos afterward, Robertson, Falwell, Hagee and other evangelist blamed the "sinfulness" of New Orleans for the destruction. I noticed that after TWO hurricanes recently hit Florida in a very short period of time no evangelist came forward to put the blame on sin. A huge apology is owed to the city of New Orleans, but I know that will never come. Shame on those hypocrites. BTW, I bought and read Exvangelicals a few months ago and it was very comforting to me, even though I never really called myself an evangelical. I became a born-again Christian as an adult, but witnessed much of what you cover in the book during the 18 years I was part of the Southern Baptist Church. Thanks for this book.
I grew up hearing that gay people would make hurricanes flood Florida and earthquakes break California off from the mainland. Old trope indeed. Good luck tonight and thank you for your work.
