Slog - Comments on Mysterious Ways http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/06/mysterious_ways If a tornado—or an earthquake or a wildfire or a meteor—were to strike San Francisco's city hall during a gay wedding next week, respected leaders of the religious right would rush to their cable broadcast studios to insist that the tornado—or the earthquake, wildfire, meteor, whatever—that leveled San Francisco's city hall was divine judgment, God's righteous wrath. Like the Rev. Hagee said of Hurricane Katrina... So I believe that the judgment of God is a very real thing.... I believe that the Bible teaches that when you violate the law of God, that God brings punishment sometimes before the day...

Naw, gay bouy scouts? I don't know what I was thinking.

Also, why do you have the comments turned off on the Kingdom Come and Gone post?

It was an accident. They're on now.

No-no, it's always because of those other selfish, sinful heathens that these natural disasters occur.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I've been waiting for the local paper to publish some crap about some wacko saying that the current flood is God's punishment for Iowa City being gay-friendly or not Christian enough or whatever. Fortunately, everyone here (including the folks who run the paper) seem to be far more interested in helping each other out than in granting wackos an unnecessary and undeserved forum.

praise God " for this tornado" we were saved. God saved my family "...sorry about your's sinner". What bull. Natural disasters are natural disasters and nothing more. How about a count of churchs destroyed by fires and tornados over the last one hundred years. This is just one of the problems with zealots. They see only what they want to see.

When there's one at folklife, it's because shit just happens. I agree with that last one. And with a lot that you say here on slog, but it disturbs me how much you're willing to resemble our enemies.

Nice Dan, you POS.

If DJ ever got hurt somehow, I expect you to use it in some way to score points with SLOG morons.
