But fundies always seem so calm and rational.
Story out of Christchurch, New Zealand:
In a sermon on Sunday (13 November) Brian Tamaki, head of the Pentecostal fundamentalist Destiny Church, blamed homosexuality, murder and other sins for natural disasters.
A video of his speech was posted to Destiny Church’s Facebook page on Sunday, followed by a blog post published on Wednesday (16 November), in which Tamaki claims to have predicted the event.
He made his claims a day before the quake, which killed two people, left thousands stranded and triggered a tsunami warning, hit.
New Zealand’s Prime Minister, John Key, called the claims ‘stupid’, saying it was ‘madness’ to blame gay people.
The facts of life are New Zealand is a seismically prone country, with a number of very well identified fault lines,’ he told 9News.
Other Christian institutions also condemned Tamaki’s claims and said disasters were definitely not God’s way of punishing humanity.
‘If that was the case, if you followed that to its logical conclusion, a baby dying of cancer would be somehow sinful,’ Auckland vica Helen Jacobi told 9News. Cont. (Video)
