When religious zealots convince themselves that they are connected to God's words and pass judgement on others, nothing more is accomplished than perpetuating ignorance.
That these money changers have an audience defines the poor educational system in the US that sorely needs improvement.
Anti-Gay Blames Hurricane Sandy on Homosexuality and Marriage Equality
Religious spokespeople have frequently tried to draw bizarre connections between natural disasters and the LGBT community. Last year, the American Family Association’s Buster Wilson similarly claimed that Hurricane Isaac was punishment for the Southern Decadence LGBT festival.Rick Joyner had the same to say about Hurricane Katrina, claiming that “[God]‘s not gonna put up with perversion anymore.” Pat Robertson has long believed that acceptance of homosexuality could result in hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, terrorist bombs, and “possibly a meteor.”
It’s likely that McTernan will not be the only religious figure to draw such allusions from this devastating storm.
