A flood has destroyed the home of a Christian lobbyist who preached that God sends natural disasters to punish gays.

President of the controversial Christian group Family Research Council, Tony Perkins, described a deluge of “near biblical proportions” hitting his Louisiana home. Mr Perkins has a long and well-documented history of disparaging gay people.

Writing on the FRC website, he said: “While activists like to claim that pedophilia [sic] is a completely distinct orientation from homosexuality, evidence shows a disproportionate overlap between the two. … It is a homosexual problem.”
He has also claimed homosexuality is incompatible with evolution and has likened it to a drug or alcohol addiction.

He added: "The most important thing that Christians can offer to homosexuals is hope - hope that their sins, just like the sins of anyone else, can be forgiven and their lives transformed.”

Ain't karma a bitch.

I don't know who's worse; him for hiding his hateful bigotry behind religion or you for believing in and not understanding karma.

I believe the phrase that applies is "Poetic justice".

So, is this Gods way of telling us that the preacher is gay?

Yeah, I'm going to say it's the former, can see what the OP means about Karma. Nothing wrong with the comment.

The preacher will most likely tell us that god targeted him because he failed to convert enough gays from their gayness, or maybe he'd prefer to see us all killed?

Very Ironic

He said it was just a test and that everything is going as he intended...

If it happens to someone I don't like = divine justice
If it happens to me = God is just testing my devotion

what an idiot.

Floods as gay punishment? How ridiculous

Obviously he didn't read the latest HSE report on the matter which went something along the lines of..

The bigotry of statistical reality?

That's obviously god punishing the people of Kerry for electing the gobshíte brothers (AKA the Healy Raes).

And rightly so I have to say - smite them oh lord, maybe some locusts if I may be so bold?
