End Times Radio Host Rick Wiles: God Sending Drought & Famine To Punish Us For Gay Marriage

Yesterday on “Trunews,” End Times radio host Rick Wiles said that God is using bird flu and other viruses, along with the California drought, to punish America until it decides to ban same-sex marriage and criminalize abortion. “Add it up: Bird flu is killing tens of millions of chickens and turkeys, a mysterious virus is killing millions of piglets, a mysterious colony-collapse disorder is killing billions of honeybees, California is in the throes of a mega-drought unlike anything seen in over 1,200 years. Why? The answer is very simple: America is in a state of rebellion against almighty God,” Wiles said. Americans are “obsessed with sexual perversion” and “murder millions of babies,” Wiles said, “and we wonder why the food supply is diminishing? God is cutting off America’s food supply. It will get worse in the days ahead if the nation does not repent.” Wiles claimed the U.S. can repent by “shutting down the abortion clinics, all of them” and “abolishing same-sex marriage,” along with “closing down the pornography industry.” “If this nation does not repent, the final stage of judgment will be sent: it is war,” Wiles said. “If America refuses to humble herself before almighty God, he will humble us before foreign conquerors who will possess the land that he gave to our ancestors who were devout Christians.” Another End Times newscaster, Bill Koenig of World Watch Daily, has similarly linked the California drought to marriage equality and abortion rights. - See more at: http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/rick-wiles-god-sending-drought-and-famine-punish-us-gay-marriage-legal-abortion#sthash.MAuIbVFD.dpuf

never thought about it, that his mouth and others like his are the cause of the droughts.

maybe there wouldn't be so much hot air swirling around, causing droughts and climate change.

Sounds like we need another round of Celebrity Deathmatch to settle this one. Rick Wiles vs. Bill Koenig, one round or to a rapture time limit to see who God likes bestest of all.

Why could it not be because we put Shit-for-Brains in the White
House not once, but twice? Worst damn president ever. Seems
like a good reason for punishment to me.

this guy's pretty much tossed out of work, yeah?

He says it's all war and foreign conquerors, so presumably these are the godless-type of foreign conquerors who will take the land away from devout Christians like him and give rise to the godless liberals.

POOF! Buh-bye to all the End Times religious shock jocks like Rick Wiles. Yep... that'll work too.

15. It's weird how God never punishes America

Because of all the divorce (would hit too close to home for a lot of republicans) or how we treat "the least among us" as that would be a condemnation against their economic policy.

It's always gays having abortions while reading porn.
