Just as surely as a big storm will bring about destruction, mayhem, frantic pillaging of Trader Joes outposts and breathless, overwrought news coverage, it was only a matter of time before some genius determined what the real cause of Hurricane Sandy is: Its the gays.
In an urgent call to prayer, founder of Defend and Proclaim the Faith Ministries and amateur end times Bible analyst John McTernan has proclaimed that God is systematically destroying America for our misdeeds. Hed like you to look at the record. Just last August, Hurricane Isaac hit New Orleans seven years later, on the exact day of Hurricane Katrina, he writes ungrammatically. Both hit during the week of the homosexual event called Southern Decadence in New Orleans! Strangely, both also hit at the height of hurricane season. COINCIDENCE?

(3,596 posts)The extreme weather events we have experienced recently were predicted by climate scientists as symptoms of a warming planet. These thumpers refuse to believe that man's activities can affect global climate so they want to blame it all on the gays. Quite honestly I really don't see God wreaking the kind of devastation, death and harm that came with Katrina on everyone in the area.
The thumpers really thought they had something when the AIDS crisis hit - God punishing the gays with this horrible disease. Turned out this was in fact globally a disease that primarily affected heterosexuals.
But they will try to find any reason to bash the gays.
