Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson think that God permitted the terrorists to give America "what we probably deserve".
Yes, that's right. If we didn't permit gays, pagans, abortion clinics and the ACLU to exist in our country -- much like the Taliban doesn't permit them to exist in Afghanistan -- God would have miraculously turned aside the airplanes; thus saith the Gospel According To Saint Falwell.
Every religion has its despicable hatemongering nutcases, I suppose.
