"Je deteste la France!" a dit le Sauveur

Christ Punishes 11,000 French Sinners

ur blessed Lord and Savior, who couldn't be here today because of the perfidious Jews, still has proven that He is the true Lord of the Universe by exercising divine justice on the second most perfidious nation on Earth: France.

Last estimates by the French government place the death toll caused by last month's heatwave at over 11,400. Many of the dead are supposedly elderly folks whose families were mostly on holiday and left their aged parents unattended. Most French government officials themselves were on vacation and faced deep criticism that they failed to respond in time to the problem.

But it is plainly obvious that the workings of divine justice are evident. The French, having failed so miserably to back the United States in its struggle against the epicenter of modern terrorism by toppling the most hated man in history, Saddam Hussein, are paying for their obstinance and secular ways as sinners only should: with their lives.

Christ/God, in His infinite Oneness and mysterious compassion, has punished France justly. The French have proven themselves for too long to be untrustworthy and selfish, oblivious to the calls of righteousness and humanity that characterizes other nations, like the United States and Great Britain. Only those two nations had the fortitude to combat evil without thought to financial considerations to liberate Iraq from its thuggish, murderous dictactor. Only France, with its known history of serving Saddam's interests opposed freeing the Iraqis. And now they are facing the inscrutable methods of heavenly justice.

The fact that so many people have lost their lives to the canicule in greater numbers than on 11 September and casualties suffered by glorious coalition forces, only demonstrates the Hand of Christ in approving the US "invasion." In any divinely ordained war, the number of evil-doers and their henchmen usually outweigh those lost by the forces of righeousness and truth. And that is definitely evident here. The fact that heatwave struck primarily in France and exacted such a toll and not in our other allies' capitals, like Spain or Italy, is proof positive of the wisdom of our leaders in freeing the Iraqi people.

Yet, lest anyone feel that Christ punished the French in pure vengeance would be confusing the Lord with the savage, angry god of the Old Testament, whom our Savior proved was a Jewish fabrication with His excrutiatingly bloody and painful death on the Cross. Christ undoubtedly took His victims with love and care, and washed them of their French sin before judging them to eternal damnation.

Our thoughts and prayers with the courageous soldiers of the coalition.
