Tony Perkins, Head Bigot in Charge at the Orwellian named Family Research Council, has long maintained that natural disasters are due to God’s wrath because of ‘teh gay’ plague. Well, looks like God makes house calls when he is really pissed off. The recent flood of “biblical proportions” has destroyed the home of Tony Perkins and his family, forcing them to relocate to a camper for the next six months while things are rebuilt.
One might think that this sort of in-your-face, where-you-live, come to Jesus moment might be a cause for reflection. After all, if you truly believe God “sends messages” of his divine will through natural disasters, when he waxes wroth on your ass that might be a good reason to re-evaluate your “lifestyle” choices.
If you are expecting that kind of soul searching from this hypocritical hate monger, you will be disappointed. Tony is so heavily invested in running his con game, even getting punched in the face doesn’t seem to have much impact. For a guy who likes to claim his ministry is based on the fact God “is sending us a message” when he smites the sinners and unbelievers, it might sound a wee bit hypocritical to call in to your own show following this latest calamity and proclaim this natural disaster is different. Apparently, this natural disaster is not a punishment from God. If you have your God’s Will Decoder Ring® (available while supplies last for the low, low price of way too much) you can see this is obviously:
“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.”
Yeah…… riiiiiiiight……..
In fact, he urges Christians to rejoice that God considers them
“worthy of suffering for his sake.”
I guess the rest of Louisiana can say “Thanks Tony for bringing God’s wrath down on your hypocritical ass. Next time, could you please stand somewhere else? How about Texas?”
Sheesh. Talk about Mything the Point. I guess this proves one thing. It really is true, Denial Ain’t Just A River in Egypt.
