By Kyle Mantyla | August 30, 2017 12:04 pm

End Times radio host Rick Wiles used his “TruNews” broadcast yesterday to declare that the damage caused by Hurricane Harvey is God’s punishment for Houston’s “affinity for the sexual perversion movement.”

Harvey Is Judgment On Houston For Abortion And Having Had A Lesbian Mayor

By Kyle Mantyla | August 30, 2017 10:54 am

While Religious Right leaders have been oddly reticent about declaring that Hurricane Harvey is God’s judgment for America’s sin, far-right activist Dave Daubenmire is not shy about proclaiming just that, asserting on his “Pass The Salt Live” webcast yesterday that the storm is divine punishment on Houston for abortion and for recently having a lesbian mayor.

I've read the bible cover to cover back in the day. If God's going to punish Houston, it would have been with a major fire and explosions caused by the hubris of Man.

Not from flooding from a hurricane.

He's paying us back for our lack of vigilance against corporatism and social fascism, and for our lazy responses against white supremacy.

See how that works?

or an extremely large low pressure system forming off the west coast of Africa and picking up more moisture as it travelled across the Atlantic Ocean, the Carribean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico before making landfall in Texas.
One of the two.

I mean really. It is so predictable what these assholes say but it is also just predictable that someone on DU will post this swill and then everyone is all outraged. I din't get it. Like a big circle jerk.
