Religious right blames gays, Romney for Hurricane Sandy

I asked yesterday how long it would take until a religious right nut blamed Hurricane Sandy on the gays. And, my friends, we have a winner:

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!

Hurricane Sandy is hitting 21 years to the day of the Perfect Storm of October 20, 1991. I write about this in my book as America Has Done to Israel. This was the day that President George Bush Sr. initiated the Madrid Peace Process to divide the land of Israel, including Jerusalem. America has been under God’s judgment since this event. Both of these hurricanes were cause by freakish weather patterns that came together to create

Apparently, it’s Mitt Romney’s fault too:

(Romney) is a fully committed to the Mormon church. At one time he was a missionary and pastor. He gives large sums of money to this church. As a Mormon, he believes that the Lord Jesus Christ was brothers with satan. He also believes that Jesus Christ was born from physical relations between “elohim god” and Mary. He denies the blessed holy Trinity and has a pantheistic view of God in that there are multiple gods.

I warned and warned of the danger of this election, if the church did not repent before the Lord. America is under political judgment, and God’s people are looking for a political savior rather than crying out to God in repentance. Is a pro-homosexual Mormon going to save the nation?

2. this is wat happens

4. Y'know, I understand the sentiment but

I think it's pretty rude to make that comparison, even in jest. A lot of truly mentally ill people have suffered because of that social policy and it's a disservice to conflate religious doctrine, however misguided, with the truly needy.

5. you are correct, i stand corrected

my apologies. to any offended. unfortunately many of our prisons and shelters are full of the displaced mentally ill.

[rrneck]

7. Apology gratefully accepted. Thank you. nt

9. it was intended in jest

many of the people i deal with on a daily basis are mentally ill and i have much more respect for them than i do for most "successful" conservatives. unfortunately i'm known to say stupid things on a daily basis. i guess that qualifies me to be a republcan

10. Nah. It qualifies you to be human.

I grew up not too terribly far from where they'll hand you a snake in church. Believe me, I've thought and said more than once, "they're fucking crazy". But then I have to remind myself that I've fought depression since I was a kid, and maybe I'm Just as much a member of the walking wounded as anybody. It may have been little more than luck that I didn't let those snake oil peddling fuckers feed off my weaknesses like all the rest. I think the common phrase is, "There but for the grace of God..."

I'm not injured to the core of my being and you're not an asshole. Hell, tomorrow I may stick my entire leg in my mouth. It wouldn't be the first time. I don't hold the patent on right or wrong, or the copyright on what's funny.

It seems to me we're doing what we're supposed to be doing. Both of us. We're just trying to get along through mutual understanding. What could be wrong with that?

11. so true, but for the...

i'm a recovering addict ( over 15 years now) so i too have had my share of mental issues . my god's grace came in the form of aVA rehab program. i can only imagine where i'd be without federal programs

3. Gays AND Romeny! This is going to be a double whammy then.

Maps are hilarious.

8. That's a mighty Told You So!

"I warned and warned of the danger of this election, if the church did not repent before the Lord. "

He warned and warned that someday there would be a natural disaster - quite possibly a major hurricane - but NOBODY WOULD LISTEN! Who's laughing now?
