Here we go again! These guys just can't help themselves can they?
A Christian religious leader has already claimed that Hurricane Sandy is further proof that God is systematically destroying America as political judgment for the homosexual agenda. John McTernan previously made similar allusions about Hurricanes Katrina (2005) and Isaac (2012), which he reiterated in his urgent call to prayer posted Sunday evening (via Gay Star News):
Just last August, Hurricane Isaac hit New Orleans seven years later, on the exact day of Hurricane Katrina. Both hit during the week of the homosexual event called Southern Decadence in New Orleans!
McTernan believes that it is noteworthy that Hurricane Sandy is hitting 21 years after the Perfect Storm, because 3 is a significant number with God:
Twenty-one years breaks down to 7 x 3, which is a significant number with God. Three is perfection as the Godhead is three in one while seven is perfection.
It appears that God gave America 21 years to repent of interfering with His prophetic plan for Israel; however, it has gotten worse under all the presidents and especially Obama. Obama is 100 percent behind the Muslim Brotherhood which has vowed to destroy Israel and take Jerusalem. Both candidates are pro-homosexual and are behind the homosexual agenda. America is under political judgment and the church does not know it!

(2,940 posts)Seriously - Canada has had marriage equality since 2005 and gays serving openly in the military since 1993, and while they do sometimes see some fallout from these east coast hurricanes, the damage is nothing like the US experiences. How do these idiots deal with the cognitive dissonance that this must produce?

I'm surprised it took them this long to blame the hurricane on gay people. I was getting a little bit worried that they were slacking off!

(19,477 posts)Zeus is angry at America because we haven't been sacrificing goats to him. And because we don't have temples to Zeus in every major city, fully staffed with priests and temple virgins.
It's perfectly obvious and logical.

(19,477 posts)I admit that I'm more drawn to (what very little I know of) the ceremonies in the temples of the ancient Greek gods.
Or maybe the ancient Mesopotamian gods.

(154,021 posts)Fun fact, the third largest pyramid complex is the Cahookia complex. Archeology reveals at the very least a similar pantheon, if not outright the same.
It's preclassic, 500 BCE for round numbers.
