...plus a 2-drink minimum.

I'd have to be 2-sheets to the wind to even think about going to that place!

Why hasn’t CNN and the local media opened up their studios?

I’ll never forget seeing this fool yapping about how much Odunga loves Jesus.
This fool said Odunga works hard every day to serve Jesus.

Absolutely breathtaking.

“I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.”

Indonesia is the world’s largest muslim nation because after the Krakatoa eruption the area was devastated.

muslims sent relief. Starving people were told to get food they had to convert to islam.

Starve or submit.

Afraid of losing donors is more like it. He is a fake preacher the Bible warns us of.

The lib whiner I met, though, insisted that MUSLIMS are opening up mosques to people of all religions in the Houston area. Can anyone verify that, or was the lib bloviating?

I have been watching local storm coverage as I live in the area. Along the bottom of the screen, a running list of shelters is constantly displayed. I have seen schools, churches and large places like the downtown Convention Center listed as shelters; have not seen one mosque listed.

Was his “church” indeed flooded?

They are several feet above grade there. If they flooded then 59 freeway had to have been underwater too. Dubious.

I used to live across the freeway in the apartments behind Kroger. I lived there during Ike.

They probably wanted him to build one of these babies...

       


(By the way, it is probably very fortunate that there were not any leftover remnants of the Obama-era U.S. Navy ("the crashing crackpots") cruising around, when Noah sailed the seven seas!)       :-)

I don't know if it was flooded. It seems I saw reports that it might have been. Regardless, he opened the church to evacuees. Good on him!

Frankly, I think since they've (media) has been unable to criticize President Trump, they go after the next most vilified sector of the populace, white Christians! JMO!
