Evangelicals blame Harvey on gay sex

Newsweek - LGBTQ Americans have caused the country billions of dollars in structural damage, killed dozens of people, and displaced thousands more from their homes, according to the evangelical figures who believe gay people caused Hurricane Harvey.

...Among those crying “science be damned” and waving their pitchforks in the general direction of the LGBT community over the past week were minister Kevin Swanson, who believes the Bible preaches death to gays, and the similarly delightful radio host Rick Wiles, who thinks Ebola would be a handy way to wipe out the LGBT community.

Swanson said on his show: “Jesus sends the message home, unless Americans repent, unless Houston repents, unless New Orleans repents, they will all likewise perish.”

“That is the message that the Lord Jesus Christ is sending home right now to America,” he added, Advocate reported.

Wiles also observed, in comments carried by Right Wing Watch: “Here’s a city that has boasted of its LGBT devotion, its affinity for the sexual perversion movement in America. They’re underwater.”

And everyone’s favorite right-wing commentator Ann Coulter also suggested she’d be more willing to believe gay people caused the flooding than—gasp—buy into the idea of climate change. Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

“I don't believe Hurricane Harvey is God's punishment for Houston electing a lesbian mayor. But that is more credible than 'climate change,'” Coulter wrote on Twitter.

Individuals such as Swanson, Coulter, et al., are either psychotic (if they believe what they're saying) or psychopaths (if they are making the claims for instrumental reasons).

In either case, such unsupportable claims should be legal justification for diagnosis and sequestration. They encourage those who have poor balance and impulse control to act out, which constitutes a real, physical danger to the rest of us, as that kid who shot up the Black congregation demonstrated so horribly.

It's well established that no hurricane ever struck America prior to legalizing gay marriage. All reports to the contrary, are fake news. /s

It is also well known that The first state to legalize Gay Marriage, Massachusetts, is regularly pummeled by hurricanes. Provincetown has been wiped out and rebuilt several times, like Soddom with better flood insurance.

It has nothing to do with gay marriage. Mother Nature is God and she is pissed! :)
