Lou Engle takes credit for no deaths in Texas tornadoes

“We didn’t gather here to have a nice little worship service!” he informed the crowd. “We’re actually creating a throne,” he explained, to contain God and the “angelic hosts by the thousands” who would be attending the rally. Many of them, he said, had come with 39 women, part of an organization called Back To Life, who had just walked from Houston to Dallas to protest legal abortion’s roots in Texas.

“Who would have guessed that when they crossed over the county line of Dallas, 12 tornadoes exploded,” Engle cried. “And no deaths!” The tornadoes, the hail, the grounded planes at the airport — all of this, he told the women and girls and more than a few men in the crowd — were a sign that God would hear the prayers of those assembled, and use them to influence worldly affairs.

“Thank God for the Texas Legislature,” added another woman, part of a long parade of speakers who came onstage, said a few words, and disappeared without introduction. “And thank God for Rick Perry. I want you to know that you put them in office,” she told the crowd, who cheered wildly. “And they are moving heaven and Earth.”
