Christian Extremists Blame Gays For Hurricane Matthew

Ah yes, superstition is always useful in explaining weather. The rain does fall on the just and the unjust.

Christian Extremists Blame Gays For Hurricane Matthew.

Christians panic, claim Hurricane Matthew is punishment from God for the sin of sodomy.

one anti-gay Christian extremist declares:

* Hurricane Matthew Is The Wrath Of God Poured Out On The Cities Of Orlando And Savannah For Supporting The Evil Sodomites.

Andrew Bieszad, a contributor to Shoebat.com, a popular anti-gay, Christian extremist website, explains that God is sending the hurricane as “a sign of His anger” against America for tolerating homosexuality.

Bieszad notes:

* The Bible clearly teaches that in the Old Testament whenever the Hebrews were very disobedient towards God, He would send punishments against them, many times in the forms of natural disasters. Christian history also recognizes the same, where God will use His creation to execute judgment against the wicked. While not all bad weather is necessarily a sign of sin, both sacred scripture and sacred tradition clearly note that it can be so. Now we know that Florida is an area that is infected with sin, especially cities such as Miami and Orlando, which are veritable dens of sodomy.

And while Bieszad and others are blaming the gays for Hurricane Mathew, other Christian extremists blame abortion and Hillary Clinton for the storm.

    I'm gay & didn't realize I had so much control over the weather. I better call my friends Neil Patrick Harris, Elton John, Ellen DeGeneres, Rosie O'Donnell, Matt Bomer, Sara Gilbert, Anderson Cooper, Wanda Sykes, Ricky Martin, Melissa Etheridge, Queen Latifa, RuPaul, Sandra Bernhard, Meredith Baxter Birney, Jodi Foster, Jayne Lynch, Cynthia Nixon, Lance Bass and Nathan Lane and see what else we can do!!!

    The scary thing is that there are a lot of people who believe this stuff.

    I am so surprised at some of the stuff people come up with. I really don't understand how people find it so hard to get along and accept people for who they are.

    These people are nuts to the extreme! Right up there with the church group that protests at vets funerals.

    Pawprint, I see a little contradiction in your comments. If sexual orientation doesn't matter and should be ignored (which is what I and so many others believe is right), then a list of who is or isn't gay shouldn't ever be relevant. See what I'm saying?


    Extremists and fundamentalists of all types are problematic in my view.

    It would be funny if I didn't know people actually believe this. The notion is the antithesis of being Christ-like, and I really think these nutjobs take pleasure in the notion that God punishes people whom they deem "sinners".

    I can navigate Pawprint ;0) I'm a little out of practice, but I could once tell you where we were in relationship to land in the fog just reading Loran numbers.....

    I thought part of being a Christian was not judging other people. So sorry to hear this is happening.

    Yes Pawprint, and when you are done, it is time to send some sunshine my way! Thank YOU very much!

    Elmer, I think Pawprint was just being humorous mentioning all the cohorts.

    Yes Elmer, I was injecting a little humor into a sad situation.

    I am a Christian and find this just plain stupid. I don't care what color you are or if you are gay or straight. People deserve to live their own lives they they want.. I was always raised there is good in all people!!

    I live in a 55+ community in Florida and they have canceled
    all organized activities (including trash collection for tomorrow) until
    Saturday due to the threat of the weather event. This hurricane won’t affect
    me.

    It is simple, I have a sign on my roof. Most people cannot
    see it, even the missus. Basically, it indicates that “Jim” lives here.
    Significant weather events just pass by. Every time I move, I bring the sign
    with me.

    To show that effective it is, a few moments ago I looked at
    the weather radar and it showed several of the ‘outer bands’ of this current hurricane
    approaching the county where I live. The sign did the trick, all dissipated
    before getting close to my place.

    The same thing happened with hurricane Hermine in August. We
    had the hurricane warning in effect and I got a couple of small branches that
    fell and less than 2” of rain in 24 hours. The sign was working its magic.

    Are you worried about weather events? You might try a sign
    on your roof like mine. Although you might need to use my name, I don’t know
    about that!

    Well now they say the hurricane is going in a circle & hit Florida twice. I might see that "Jim" sign blow by my house in Ohio!

    Pawprint, if you are looking for an ark, here in Kentucky a group (religious themepark) already build one, but I would not bet that it is waterproof, LOL.

    I like when a religious group states that the world will end on such and such a date. And then that date passes and they just set another date!!!

    Which hurricane was it that they were painting on the plywood "Go Away Jim"? As in Jim Cantore of the Weather Channel.

    This is just crazy!. Where do people come up with these ideas? It rains on the just and the unjust.

    Yah, if anyone knows anything about gay people, generally we are not evil people and don't wish harm to the straight community.

    The straight people gave birth to us for goodness sakes, and for that we're thankful!!

    Just like the shooting in Orlando with 50 killed & 50 injured. We didn't riot, loot or set fires to anything and we have also disappeared from the news completely.

    Just goes to show you seldom go broke banking on the stupidity of some people and/or the gullibility of others. And there's a faction of politicians who count on it.

    I know a lot of people that believe like this, they aren't out protesting, they just believe it. If you read the Bible and take what it says seriously, it teaches this. That is why I cannot in good conscience, believe in the word of the bible! To me the whole thing is just fear mongering written to direct people to act in a certain way. For as long as there is written documentation, the same stories have been told, people have always believed that natural disasters are the wrath of god. Unfortunately, we are just not smart enough to get past this antiquated way of believing. At times it almost seems that instead of becoming more enlightened through the years, that people are actually devolving into a more savage species. The savage in humans runs deep and rears its ugly head. If there was a god that punished man for being evil, this world would have been cleansed of humans thousands of years ago and certainly not for being gay! But rather for being savages!
