NOM Speaker Blames East Coast Earthquake on Gays

[meegbear]

Within hours of an earthquake striking the eastern U.S. Tuesday, a rabbi that has spoken for the anti-gay group National Organization for Marriage (NOM) was already blaming homosexuals.

In a video posted to YouTube, Rabbi Yehuda Levin asserted that "one of the reasons God brings earthquakes to the world is because of the transgressions of homosexuality."

"An email went out in my community just a few hours ago, 'How long will it take Rabbi Levin to tie this earthquake in with homosexual marriage?'" he began. "Not very long at all. I'm happy to see that people -- even if some of them are scoffers -- are starting to see the connection."

"Yes, there is a direct connection between earthquakes and homosexuality. There was in Haiti and it is here, in New York, in Washington, D.C., where they passed homosexual legislation ordinances, in New York City and state, where they opened, especially on Sunday early, where they passed the homosexual marriage law."

Levin continued: "We want everyone to understand that if this kinds of activities continue and are legislated into the moral fiber of the country and are forced down the throats of the religious people, it's a revolt against God. And literally, there's hell to pay.

The blog Good As You noted that in June, Levin had spoken during a NOM press conference.

There is only one direct connection for Levin, and that is between his brain and his ass...

10. Ok let me make up for that

We don't want more quakes now, do we?

[xchrom]

11. i was trying to do rustic/boho this season.

my bad.

[hifiguy]

5. Clearly, this is an individual who needs to

bore a hole in his head and let the sap run out, to paraphrase Groucho.

[Aerows]

6. I'm pretty sure

that I caused Hurricane Irene all by myself.

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. You need to go to the corner now

SHEESH!

:hi:

[Warpy]

7. So why wasn't it centered on Fire Island? Or Provincetown, Mass?

Why was it so close to Robertson's Regent U, generally speaking? Or Falwell's Liberty U in Lynchburg, Va? It seems like Virginia is an odd place for an antigay god to vent his wrath.

But then stupid zealots never seem to think of shit like that.

8. I wish I could tell him to FUCK OFF to his face

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. Lord the gay must really be strong in my neck of the woods

I do not like fundies of ANY stripe...

Rabi, not that you will do this... take a basic course in geology.

[gratuitous]

13. Did Rabbi Levin offer an explanation for Texas' drought?

And why was the quake centered in Virginia? Sounds like Levin's God is getting a bit past it, and no longer able to confine his smiting to the unjust alone. Or, maybe Levin's just a complete nincompoop.

14. Enuff of this

I am so sick and tired of this shit. God allows tragedy (or in this case, a bit of inconvenience) because there are...shudder the thought...

Gay People. And they love each other. And they want to be treated as equals.

So I guess if we stuck these people into concentration camps or tried to 'pray the gay away', natural disasters would just immediately stop?

The level of idiocy from these religious quacks is beyond words. It's like we've been transplanted back to a primitive civilization.

[dtexdem]

15. But why Virginia? I know that Virginia is for lovers, but still.

;-)

[Lucky 13]

16. If only we gays actually had that kind of power....

I would say we should all meet up on Bachmann's front yard and do our worst.

[Angry Dragon]

17. I wonder why anyone would want to love a very mean god

They might want to shop around for a loving god..............

[Behind the Aegis]

18. I am sorry. I am a bad Heblew!

:evilgrin:

PS..Rabbi can fuck off!

[Initech]

19. These idiots are getting so damned predictable.

[tnlefty]

20. My youngest noticed that the religious crazies were very quiet when

tornadoes were tearing up the red states, yes, even around here.

Why is that was his question. Pffft on them all, we're sick of them.
