YHVH Must Have Made a Mistake

According to Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council the Christian god likes to use extreme weather events and other natural disasters as a means to punish the sinful, particularly those who don't follow the intolerant "family values" promoted by Perkins' organization. I guess the old omnipotent bigot wasn't paying attention when he visited his wrath on Louisiana recently.

Tony Perkins, president of the anti-gay religious lobbying group the Family Research Council, had his home destroyed by the massive flooding ravaging Southern Louisiana this week.

Although no one wants to celebrate a person losing their home, the destruction of Perkins' house isn't without irony, considering that he's claimed in the past that natural disasters are God's way of punishing an increasingly gay-friendly world.

Calling into his own radio show, Perkins described the flood as being of "biblical proportions," adding that he and his family will have to live in a camper for 6 months until the damage is repaired.

But Perkins was careful to point out that this particular flood wasn't because of the gays, but rather an "incredible, encouraging spiritual exercise to take you to the next level in your walk with an almighty and gracious God who does all things well."
