      In christofascist USA, it’ll likely be “god is sending plagues and famine to punish sinners.” Much like how gay people are blamed for hurricanes.

      “We take no joy in the death of innocent people,” Marcavage–a former Clinton White House intern–told one reporter. “But we believe that God is in control of the weather. The day Bourbon Street and the French Quarter was flooded was the day that 125,000 homosexuals were going to be celebrating sin in the streets. We’re calling it an act of God.”

        Weird how the places in the US that are most likely to see hurricanes and tornados seem to be the most religiously devout.
