"...and all that have not fins and scales in the seas and in the rivers, of all that move in the water, and any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you..." Leviticus 11:10
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina destroyed a majority of New Orleans. Some religious leaders praised the city's deluge as it prevented "Southern Decadence" from occuring. Pat Robertson and many other prominent Christian leaders believed, honestly in fact, that God brought Hurricane Katrina to destroy the City of New Orleans because of homosexuals. Most religious leaders place great emphasis on the Bible, and its denunciation of gays and gay sex acts. Therefore, if the Lord God Alimighty is that concerned with reminding his ward when they sin against His very clear instructions, then the Gulf Coast must have been asking for such an environmental disaster.
I know what you must be thinking, "But man drilled for oil in the first place." Right. However, the naturally occuring methane bubble that is now widely believed to be the actual cause for the Gulf spill was not caused by drilling but was a naturally occurring phenomenon.
Why, you ask, would God wish to smite the people of the Gulf Coast? What terrible sin could they possibly be guilty of that would bring such destruction upon them? Simple. They farm, catch, sell, distribute, and consume shrimp.
These people are sinful shrimp pushers. They open such restaurants as "Bubba Gump Shrimp" and "Red Lobster" (look out Maine...you're next!) in an attempt to push their sinful ways on us non-shrimp eating holy people. They pollute our colons with the filth and abominations of the sea. I am fairly certain that shrimp have neither fins nor scales. If God can destroy Soddom and New Orleans because of sex, what would stay His mighty hand in destroying the entire shrimp pushing coast because of eating?
Since homosexuality is clearly a choice then so is the decision of what we put in our mouths. Shrimp, is strictly forbidden by God. He even used "abomination". This is not a suggestion of what to eat. God is not a food critic. If God did start writing for the Times that would seem sort of odd of him. He MADE food. Bitching about it now is an odd twist.
Now that the Gulf Coast is devastated, hopefully these pathetic people, who are now impoverished and whose lives are ruined forever will get the message. Let this also be a warning to other areas that catch and eat shrimp; God is watching. To the restaurants still serving shrimp after this justifiable destruction of people's lives - change your menus. To the waterfowl that eat shrimp and shellfish - you are in grave danger, become vegan.
