Homo Tsunamis and Terrorists in Oregon
For anyone planning to head south for Portland’s Gay Pride festivities on June 18—cancel your plans. There’s a Gaypocolypse in the forecast.
From my colleague Scott Moore, whose friend works at a church, where this creepy missive landed in her inbox this morning:
————— Forwarded message ————— Date: Thu, 8 Jun 2006 13:15:46 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Urgent Message: Portland will have disaster in June 18, 2006!Dear Pastor,
Please pray to God when you receive this message and seek God’s guidance to you and your congregation.
3 people from 3 different places and churches received vision from God about this disaster. 3 people include a pastor, a church elder and a church missionary.
Here is the information about the disaster:
1. In June 18, 2006 (the coming Father’s Day), there will be a Gay Pride Parade in Portland, Oregon.
2. This Gay Pride Parade will bring the judgment of God to Portland.
3. At June 18, 2006, there will be a huge earthquake happen in Portland area, the earthquake will cause a collapse of Bonneville Dam. A wall of water will flood and destroy Portland.
4. There will be another earthquake happen in the West Coast, cause a Tsunami and the Tsunami will go to Portland from Columbia River. So Portland will be flooded also by the Tsunami. (Portland is about 50 miles away from the sea coast.)
5. There will be a team of terrorists, who will bring automatic weapons (machine guns) and kill as many survivors as they can after the disaster. They kill people before the National Guard will arrive there.
6. Portland and the nearby Willamette Valley will be destroyed.
7. God urge the Christians to leave that area.
Scott adds: I love how the terrorists appear to be immune to—and colluding with—the series of natural disasters. I guess they were CC’d on the memo God sent to the Earth’s molten core, subject line: “Finally killing off all those homos and homolovers.”
The basis of the email apparently came from the pastor of the Beth Tefilah Messianic Congregation in Salem. His highly entertaining “warning” can be found here.
What an asshole.
