#1 Gay people caused 9/11

This one is an oldie but a goodie. Let’s go all the way back to the days right after the terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, DC on September 11, 2001.

Americans were in shock, and reeling from the horror we’d all witnessed. The dust hadn’t yet settled at Ground Zero, and smoke was still rising from the Pentagon when conservative Christian ministers Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson had a little chat on Robertson’s “700 Club” show.

Falwell placed the blame for the attack squarely on gay people, not the actual terrorists.

“Throwing God out successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools,” he said. “The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad.

A list that's both funny and sad.
