Does Monster Moore also believe that "God hates" black people in New Orleans?

Question

EDIT - Now that I have read Monster Moore's pathetic attempt to minimize the political damage, I have no doubt at all that he is a RELIGIOUS FRUTICAKE.

In his childish letter, he mentions being a former "seminarian". As I mentioned above, hes not an atheist. The vast majority of all theists DO BELIEVE that God is hands-on in our world, and that he sees things the way they do.

I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT MOORE'S REMARKS WERE MORE THAN JEST. NONE AT ALL.

Answer 1

Are. You. Serious.

God, I hope that's irony you're writing, what with your nickname and all.

Answer 2

He can think what ever he wants but it doesn't make it true or him any less of a fruitcake

Answer 3

He was spoofing the very real Focus on the Family feature where  Stuart Shepherd was asking the flock to pray for rain of "biblical proportions" to fall on Denver during the Democratic Convention.  I posted a link to the FotF video in a question I asked yesterday.

If you think Moore is such a monster, I guess you must feel the same way about Focus on the Family.

Answer 4

I'm praying for the people of New Orleans, but it it's flooded again, I say they use Moore's bloated, fat carcass to float to safety.

Answer 5

Apparently the New Orleanians did not get the first message, and now God is sending a second one just ot make sure they get it...!!! They were probably behind in their tithes and offerings! Hey, I am not a spokesman for Christianity, but I am telling you like it is in the Bible....  

Answer 6

I;m sure he was being sarcastic

Answer 7

"monster" moore is not precisaly a racist

Answer 8

Nobody can read the mind of God. Michael Moore is actually a member of the Church of the FSM. (source: Moore's Facebook profile, religious views)

Basically, I would consider the entire lengthy story as a tongue-in-cheek reflection of the religious faith of most Republicans, and how this whole scenario is an ironic twist after some Republicans had prayed for a storm over Obama's speech.

Personally (and I don't care about criticism), I found it quite amusing.

Let's hope the government isn't caught with its pants down again. If the Republicans did their jobs, instead of going for parties and picnics, Katrina probably wouldn't have been quite so devastating, and if it was, relief would have been more forthcoming.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Nope

he isn't racist

the e-mail from him below explains it:

An Open Letter to God, from Michael Moore

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

Dear God,

The other night, the Rev. James Dobson's ministry asked all believers to pray for a storm on Thursday night so that the Obama acceptance speech outdoors in Denver would have to be cancelled.

I see that You have answered Rev. Dobson's prayers -- except the storm You have sent to earth is not over Denver, but on its way to New Orleans! In fact, You have scheduled it to hit Louisiana at exactly the moment that George W. Bush is to deliver his speech at the Republican National Convention.

Now, heavenly Father, we all know You have a great sense of humor and impeccable timing. To send a hurricane on the third anniversary of the Katrina disaster AND right at the beginning of the Republican Convention was, at first blush, a stroke of divine irony. I don't blame You, I know You're angry that the Republicans tried to blame YOU for Katrina by calling it an "Act of God" -- when the truth was that the hurricane itself caused few casualties in New Orleans. Over a thousand people died because of the mistakes and neglect caused by humans, not You.

Some of us tried to help after Katrina hit, while Bush ate cake with McCain and twiddled his thumbs. I closed my office in New York and sent my entire staff down to New Orleans to help. I asked people on my website to contribute to the relief effort I organized -- and I ended up sending over two million dollars in donations, food, water, and supplies (collected from thousands of fans) to New Orleans while Bush's FEMA ice trucks were still driving around Maine three weeks later.

But this past Thursday night, the Washington Post reported that the Republicans had begun making plans to possibly postpone the convention. The AP had reported that there were no shelters set up in New Orleans for this storm, and that the levee repairs have not been adequate. In other words, as the great Ronald Reagan would say, "There you go again!"

So the last thing John McCain and the Republicans needed was to have a split-screen on TVs across America: one side with Bush and McCain partying in St. Paul, and on the other side of the screen, live footage of their Republican administration s******g up once again while New Orleans drowns.

So, yes, You have scared the Jesus, Mary and Joseph out of them, and more than a few million of your followers tip their hats to You.

But now it appears that You haven't been having just a little fun with Bush & Co. It appears that Hurricane Gustav is truly heading to New Orleans and the Gulf coast. We hear You, O Lord, loud and clear, just as we did when Rev. Falwell said You made 9/11 happen because of all those g**s and abortions. We beseech You, O Merciful One, not to punish us again as Pat Robertson said You did by giving us Katrina because of America's "wholesale slaughter of unborn children." His sentiments were echoed by other Republicans in 2005.

So this is my plea to you: Don't do this to Louisiana again. The Republicans got your message. They are scrambling and doing the best they can to get planes, trains and buses to New Orleans so that everyone can get out. They haven't sent the entire Louisiana National Guard to Iraq this time -- they are already patrolling the city streets. And, in a nod to I don't know what, Bush's head of FEMA has named a man to help manage the federal government's response. His name is W. Michael Moore. I kid you not, heavenly Father. They have sent a man with both my name AND W's to help save the Gulf Coast.

So please God, let the storm die out at sea. It's done enough damage already. If you do this one favor for me, I promise not to invoke your name again. I'll leave that to the followers of Rev. Dobson and to those gathering this week in St. Paul.

Your faithful servant and former seminarian,

Michael Moore

edit: Moore's a good person and not a religious fruitcake

Answer 11

Michael Moore is a worthless parasitic piece of bird-c**p scraped from the bottom of my heels !!! - so I'm NOT interested in his pitiful opinions !!

Answer 12

You sound just like Nietzsche... After he went mad from syphilis.

Answer 13

Moore is a pig

Answer 14

Which god are you talking about? Some evidence to support your comments please.

Could it be your own bias is coloring your perspective?

Answer 15

i am praying for all the people it doe not matter if the are d or r and has nothing to do with race, just dear god,i cannot believe it`s happening again,at the same time 3 years later,talk about making history?we are having changes and it has nothing to do with an election,it will have to with the after -math and mccain and his party will be there to help.

Answer 16

It's a rather insensitive remark

"Hurricane Gustav has already wrought devastation across the Caribbean, killing at least 94 people and leaving tens of thousands homeless."

(http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/sep... )

However, perhaps you should be focussed on the insensitive nature of the remark in regards to the lives lost in THIS hurricane, rather than twisting his words to make a case of racism for the hurricane Katrina. It seems rather insensitive on your part to ignore the lives lost in the Caribbean. So you care about the black people killed in hurricane Katrina... what about the Caribbean people killed in EVERY hurricane? In case you haven't noticed, the hurricanes that hit the southern United States almost ALWAYS hit the Caribbean first, and even lose intensity OVER the Caribbean.

In other words, if you are going to attack people about the stupid insensitive things they say, don't be stupid and insensitive yourself.

Answer 17

You seem to be seriously sarcasm-impaired.

You should probably refrain from using the internet until you've had that problem taken care of.

=================

"EDIT - ATTENTION, ALL "EINSTEINS" THAT "THINK" HE WAS "JOKING".

The very fact that he didnt make it clear immediately puts a terminal end to your sick apologetics for a sick sick man. "

He did make it immediately clear that he was joking.

Lying isn't going to help your case, kid.

"I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT MOORE'S REMARKS WERE MORE THAN JEST. NONE AT ALL."

Expressing your ignorance in all caps doesn't prevent us from noticing that it is, in fact, ignorance.

Answer 18

I think he was joking...not particularly funny, but a joke nevertheless

Answer 19

To be fair, Micheal Moore has released a new statement backtracking on his original one.

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washingt...

Having said that, Micheal Moore is a publicity hound who can be idiotic at times.
