It was only a question of time before someone among the self-congratulatory, falsely pious, flat earth believing, modern day Pharisee set blamed Hurricane Sandy on gays. No doubt with New York City in the storm's cross hairs, gay marriage will be tied into the equation. I would argue that rather than gays, its the Christofascists themselves who are inviting God's wrath since they embody everything Christ condemned in the Gospels. In fact, the Biblical Pharisees look like pretty nice folks compared to today's Pharisee set. Winning the race to be the first knuckle dragging hate merchant to blame Sandy on gay individuals is Internet chaplain John McTernan. Gaystar News looks at McTernan and his foul bigotry. Here are highlights:
An anti-gay Christian preacher is already blaming Hurricane Sandy on gays.
As the east coast of the United States prepares for the storm, which has already killed 60 people in the Caribbean, author and chaplain John McTernan has decided who is at fault.
On his website Defend Proclaim The Faith, the preacher says the gathering storm must be God’s judgment on gays, and punishing the president Barack Obama for coming out in support of marriage equality.
He believes ever since George Bush Sr signed the Madrid Peace Process to divide the land of Israel in 1991, ‘America has been under God’s judgment since this event.’
McTernan said: ‘Obama is 100% behind the Muslim Brotherhood which has vowed to destroy Israel and take Jerusalem.
‘Both candidates are pro-homosexual and are behind the homosexual agenda. America is under political judgment and the church does not know it!’
Frankly, Ternan sounds like he belongs in a mental hospital. Yet unfortunately he represents the face of today's form of conservative Christianisty. If one wants a compelling argument as to why not to be a Christian, look no farther than individuals like Ternan, Tony Perkins, Pat Robertson, Billy Graham (who in his senility is showing his true colors), et al, and the cretins who are their followers.

These idiocies are none other but noise. No one listens to them any more
Another example of how our community is made a scapegoat for everything negative in the world. narrow mindedness is so sad.
