El Paso Politician Calls Japanese Tsunami/Earthquake a Curse From God

[Bluebear]

Meet El Paso city council candidate Malcolm McGregor, III:

ne of those anti-gay candidates, Malcolm McGregor III, told ABC 7 he believes the tsunami and earthquake in Japan were a curse from God.

“Japan had built tsunami walls along their coasts but this tsunami was bigger than that. No matter what you say, they either weren’t blessed with protection or they were cursed with an earthquake,” McGregor said. “God did say, Christ did say that earthquakes would increase in the last days and that’s what we’re seeing.”

McGregor is part of the group El Pasoans for Traditional Family Values, which sponsored a successful ballot initiative to rescind DP benefits in November, after the benefits were approved by the City Council.

Surprise, surprise, surprise. It’s a religious bigot secretly rejoicing in other peoples’ suffering because he thinks it’s all a part of his god’s master plan for retribution. These people are sick.

1. I've often wondered ...

What are "Traditional Values?"

2. DU Member Calls El Paso Politician a Curse From God

Seriously. If God, or whoever is supposed to be in charge of things, is placing curses, I'm beginning to think the real curse is a plague of crazy fundie assholes.

5. And, it was because of Gov. Scott Walker in Wisconsin. God created Unions

6. Perhaps instead he could donate to the Red Cross tsunami relief effort.

7. I am sick o f this moralizing and most often it is done by hypocrites.

God is not sitting somewhere up there going --"Now let me
see what I can do to teach Japan a lesson."

How many times in the last century have we had groups over
and over standing out in some field, or committing suicide
because they were waiting for something that never happened.

Jesus has told us: YOU WIIL NOT KNOW DAY NOR THE HOUR.

The world would be such a better place if these Politicians
stick to politics and let the Ministers and Priests stick to
teaching us about God.

As for the end times, these End Timers would impress me
much more if they showed they really believed Christ's return
was imminent. If they really believed this they would be living
such exemplary Christian lives we would all be in Shock and Awe.

God just might have a special punishment in the hereafter for
Politicians who use Religion in a wrong matter.

9. God doesn't appreciate those who don't follow his rules. Something

to the tune of tenfold. This idiot is toast.

10. Well, this fucker just compelled me to make a new donation to

Doctors Without Borders in the Japan relief effort, so we can't say that NO good came of his comments!

11. I am sorry that there are so many of the regressive party

that have a mean and vengeful god.
Perhaps they should search for a more loving god and then they would not be so hateful

12. Why do we elect insane beings?

[Arugula Latte]

13. Because we are in end days, I suggest McGregor give away all his possessions,

go to a mountaintop, strip nekked and wait for Jesus to suck him up to the Rapture with his Holy Hoover.
