"Here's the quote ~ "The ACLU has got to take a lot of blame for this. And I know I'll hear from them for this, but throwing God...successfully with the help of the federal court system...throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools, the abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked and when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad...I really believe that the pagans and the abortionists and the feminists and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way, all of them who try to secularize America...I point the thing in their face and say you helped this happen."

"The quote sounds quite different from your interpretation, IMHO, I'm not sure that mine is the one that is distorted."

Maybe I can clarify it for you. That quote clearly does not say that God ordered the events of 9-11, or that He personally designed and carried them out to punish America for abortion.

The quote says: "the abortionists have got to bear some burdon for this....I point the thing in their face and say you helped this happen".

As a Christian who has read and studied the Bible many, many times, to me Falwell's warning does not mean that God has taken up arms and attacked us. As in the Bible verse below, it means that God has turned His protective eyes away from America because we displease Him by killing millions of His children in the womb, and by legalizing homosexuality.

In short, God will not bless a country that elevates sin to the level of "human rights". We can't expect His protection under these circumstances. It's like paying for a prostitute and asking God to protect you from STDs. So in this regard I totally agree with Mr. Falwell's admonition.

"let him turn away from evil and do right; let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those that do evil." (1 Peter 3:12)

"it means that God has turned His protective eyes away from America because we displease Him by killing millions of His children in the womb, and by legalizing homosexuality. "

Yes, but if one believes in predestination (not saying you do, btw), then one would have to believe that the Lord is punishing us for doing something we were destined to do in the first place. Not saying that 'predestination' excuses the behavior, mind you, just something to consider.
