God strikes 'gay' radio station with lightning?

Webcasting outlet claims anti-homosexual activist responsible

A homosexual webcasting radio station claims its facility was struck by lightning, frying critical phone equipment, and that an anti-"gay" activist's prayers are responsible for the hit.

Washington, D.C.-based Outlet Radio Network, a commercial webcaster, says the blow came on Saturday. The lightning strike caused the cancellation of a two-hour call-in show Sunday because guests and callers could not reach the hosts by phone, the station said.

"We were shocked," Outlet Radio principle partner and talk-show host Christian Grantham said in a statement. "Just as we were about to start the show, we noticed a key piece of equipment had been fried by the lightning strike."

The station claims the lightning strike came just weeks after it had Maggie Phelps on as a guest, saying Phelps had prayed God would "strike the station."

Phelps is the oldest daughter of Baptist minister Fred Phelps, who presides over the website GodHatesFags.com and is pastor of Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan.

Phelps told WorldNetDaily she "didn't do any praying" when she appeared as a guest on the station May 25, but that she did warn "those two little guys" – hosts Grantham and Vince Oropesa.

The activist said she routinely warns homosexuals that God eventually will punish wrongdoing.

"You flip off God month and month, year after year, and he's going to deal with you," she said.

Phelps says she hasn't prayed specifically for God to strike the station, partly because the webcasters "would be way down on my list" of homosexuals who have influence on the culture. She said the hosts now should be asking why God sent the lightning.

In its statement, the Outlet Radio Network compares the incident to Pat Robertson's recent "prayer offensive" regarding the Supreme Court. The television minister is praying for resignations among the older members of the court who voted to strike down Texas' sodomy law in Lawrence v. Texas.

"If our recent lightning strike is any indication, the Supreme Court Justices might want to ground themselves," said Oropesa, principle partner and co-host of the "Christian and Vince Show." "While I'm spreading the jinx, maybe God can curse us with equal marriage rights."

The homosexual radio station says all programming is running normally except the "Christian and Vince Show," which relies on the zapped phone equipment.

Grantham was unavailable for comment before press time.

Pretty silly. Was the supposed deity involved in the storm that trashed that Christian rock concert this weekend? I doubt it very much. Doesn't seem like there are any deities controlling weather anywhere. Churches and whorehouses are equally likely targets for a lightning strike. Seems that the weather's an equal opportunity foe.

Another good fundraiser for Pat, no doubt.

Actually, God is behind all the weather phenomena which occurs, both to believers and non-believers. We need to be cautious with our finite mind in assigning reasons to the infinite God.

One thing is clear, apparently the gays believe in the power of prayer and Phelps... doesn't.

shouldn't it be against the law for Phelps to have children?

Hmm...would you classify Phelps as a Christian?

Lighting put our lights out for about an hour this morning.

I will beat my kids, one at a time, until the homosexual among them gives himself up.

Thank you for the funniest post I've seen in a long time. The links to 'godhatesfags' and 'landoveroverbaptist' are hysterical. One is dead serious and the other is satire, but I'm not sure which is which.

Florida: Lightning strikes, kills second man in Palm Beach County
Within 15 minutes filled with hundreds of lightning strikes, two Palm Beach County men were struck and killed on Saturday outside their homes in southern Palm Beach County.

John Kelley, 67, died in Delray Beach after lightning struck about 2 p.m. as he was trimming his grass with an electric edger.

On Sunday, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office released details about another victim west of Boca Raton who was hit by lightning 15 minutes earlier as he walked to his mailbox.

Dr. Barry Golden, 51, had just returned from his office when lightning struck near his home on Madria Circle south of Glades Road and east of Lyons Road. His daughter heard thunder, went outside and found Golden facedown on the driveway, said sheriff's spokeswoman Diane Carhart.



In Lake Park , fire investigators blamed a lightning strike for a blaze that destroyed a three-bedroom home at 406 E. Ilex Drive. The home's owners were not injured, but two cats died.

I had a girlfriend in college whose two cats were gay.

Maybe Gods hates feline homosexuality ;-)

She's right.. well not exactly.. God will deal with those who 'flip in off' in the next life..

God puts 'em where he wants 'em (lightning). We don't know his reasons. This goes for everything in life as well. It is funny that the gays blame the people, and not God. Perhaps they are a little worried about angering Him even more.
