Focus on the fundies

Leading right-wing xtian organization Focus on the Family is planning layoffs.

Liberal watchdog group Media Matters has collected ignorant statements by three evangelical stars on Hurricane Katrina. Robertson said God was aiming at abortion, Hal Lindsey said God sees America as similar to ancient Rome, and convicted Watergate felon Chuck Colson said God sent the hurricane to remind America to prepare for a terrorist attack. Gosh, isn't anybody mad at the gays anymore?

Update: Chicago Sun-Times columnist Cathleen Falsani interviews a Chicago Tyler, Tex. minister who also believes God was smiting New Orleans. A church in Medford, Mass. had a similar message.
