Dennis Prager Blames California Drought On 'Worship Of Nature'

http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/dennis-prager-blames-california-drought-worship-nature

Right-wing talk radio host Dennis Prager was a guest on Glenn Beck's radio program this morning, promoting his new book, "The Ten Commandments: Still the Best Moral Code," during which he blamed California's historic drought on the fact that the state has been violating the commandment against worshiping false gods.

"A false god is one that you really do worship because you think it is godlike," Prager stated. "God created nature. Nature is subservient to God. Nature is created for the human being. Today it is the opposite. Where I live in Southern California, the reason we have no water is not because of drought, it is because of the worship of nature. For example, the incredible amount of water that is taken from humans in order to save some six-inch fish. This is the worship of nature."

Prager's assertion is untrue, but Beck agreed and used the discussion to reiterate his belief that the world is unknowingly worshiping the false gods Baal and Moloch:

Funny thing, though. Down there in the godly part of the nation, they have tornadoes and floods and all kinds of nasty stuff going on.

My RW father supports Families Protecting the Valley, which is really just a group of billionaire farmers selling their propaganda.

I recently saw their Mar 25, 2015 newsletter titled "Why Do Enviros Love Forest Trees, But Hate Almond Trees?"

Here are a few gems:

A lot of those trees are bigger and suck up a lot more water than almond trees, not to mention the undergrowth.

Why More Trees in the Sierra Mean Less Water for California

blah blah blah


They are actually arguing for getting rid of forests so that we have more run-off.
