Ray Comfort
The Way of The Master

Dear Mr. Comfort,

Although my faith in God is total, I've noticed something about Him, lately, that causes me concern. I've wanted to discuss it with someone, but have been reluctant to do so due to the high probability that I'd be rebuked.

Anyway, after reading your post about how God is punishing California with forest fires for granting special human rights to homosexuals, I realized it's time for me to just blurt it all out. Consequences be damned.

Has God lost a step? He just doesn't seem to be at the top of his game anymore. I mean, look around. While sending a hurricane to stop a pride parade in New Orleans, flooding Cedar Rapids because the "University of Iowa is very homosexual-oriented," and burning trees in California to ruin a few same-sex wedding days are certainly worthy efforts on God's part, such acts lack the sheer destructiveness and imagination He exhibited in His earlier work.

Think about it. In the old days, He'd have burned New Orleans to the ground in a storm of fire and brimstone, given the entire population of Cedar Rapids a particularly painful strain of hemorrhoids "in their secret parts," and dumped California into the ocean. God was a real bad azz then, a bad azz with a twisted sense of humor and a flair for the dramatic.

I mean, good golly. He made it rain frogs in Egypt on one day and turned the Nile into a river of blood the next. It was like He went from Dali² to Christoff³ in a heartbeat. Now, he just seems to be coasting.

Maybe he's grown bored with his job. Perhaps smiting just doesn't turn His Miraculous Crank as much as it once did. Heck, I guess it's ok--He is God after all; He sets the rules--but I can't help but feel a little cheated. How about you?

Heterosexually yours,

Baptist Minister Asks McCain: "Did You Call Your Wife A C**t?" (VIDEO)

Clive businessman Marty Parrish was escorted from Sen. John McCain's town hall meeting by Des Moines police and members of the Secret Service after asking McCain if he had called his wife Cindy an expletive in 1992.

Parrish, an ordained Baptist minister who holds a master's degree in political science, was questioned by Secret Service agents before being released. He was not charged in the incident. Parrish asked whether McCain called his wife Cindy an expletive related to the female anatomy, as has been alleged in the book "The Real McCain," written by Dem strategist Cliff Schecter.

McCain's response got him a round of applause from the crowd: "There's people here who don't respect that kind of language, so I'll move on to the next questioner in the back."

In an interview with IowaPolitics.com, Parrish said his intentions were simple in posing the question to McCain. The former Joe Biden campaign worker stressed he is very concerned about the Republican presidential nominee's temperament.

"We have a man whose temper can get the best of him," Parrish said. "What I am worried about is his temper. Our country is in a serious crisis. This election is the most significant one since 1860. It appears America is asleep -- so I stood up and asked the question."

--Fortunately, this hasn't happened in Iowa. Though, given the battiness of steve king, and the constituents who keep electing him, I'd say it's just a matter of time.
