A punishment from God?

IMAG0399

I will avoid the laundry list of those times conservative religious leaders have claimed that God will destroy certain areas with natural disasters because they do not discriminate against Gay people, only to have the places where these religious leaders have their headquarters hit by those predicted disasters.

The most recent and vocal prophet of other people’s doom is Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council who famously blamed the Boston Marathon bombing on “abortion, family breakdown, sexual liberalism, [and] religious hostility.”

He is one of hose who claims after the fact that something that goes wrong is a punishment from a God who seems to suffer from a case of really bad aim, and it would appear it has happen again.

One of the consequences of the recent flooding in Louisiana is that the home of Tony Perkins was hit by the flood waters, and he and his family had to evacuate by canoe.

Something tells me that in this case he will explain it as merely a natural disaster and not some punishment from God unlike all the other natural disasters.

Or, he has a secret sin that he just will not tell us about.
