Anti-gay preacher: Australia's wildfires are God's punishment for the country banning me from enteri

amazing thought process... this God he worships would kill 24 people and millions of animals because he was turned away at the border??

According to Christian hate pastor Steven Anderson, those deadly brushfires in Australia are a result of God’s wrath for “banning and deporting preachers of the Gospel.” That ban includes the rabidly anti-LGBTQ Anderson, who has, in fact, been banned from 33 countries.

Anderson’s hateful and disturbing rhetoric has resulted in him being banned in all of Europe’s Schengen States, Botswana, Jamaica, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Canada, LGBTQNation reports.

This Friday, he took to Facebook to voice his discontent, posting images of the brushfires and writing:

“Maybe if Australia weren’t banning and deporting preachers of the Gospel, they wouldn’t be under the judgment of God.”

to their own benefit. It shows just how deranged their thought processes really are. They never cease to sicken me.

Such idiots should have been aborted before birth (I am not sorry to write that either).

down in Florida with hurricanes and tornadoes being "God's wrath."

I agree with you. Jerks like them make the world worse, not better. They are way too full of themselves.

Tony Perkins of Focus on the Family preaches the whole God punishes people with natural disasters yet he did not attempt to find out why God was pissed off at him for flooding his house in Louisiana in 2016.

I also bet they feel cheated when natural disasters are heading a particular way and then veer off or peter out. I bet the last hurricane that did that with Hawaii had them upset about being able to turn it into an anti-Obama screed so they just preached against gays... again.

They love blaming gay people, time and time again. That is their favorite "go to."

I thought Hurricane Katrina was god's wrath for gays?
No...that was the Tsunami and Fukishima, right?
No, no...it was climate change in general and across the globe...that's the ticket!

Seriously, tough, don't they EVER feel any sense of shame or dread that their 'flock' might start connecting the dots and realizing the plot of this story is getting recycled more than aluminum cans in SoHo?

who thinks God exists, and acts on an individual's behalf to punish those who don't do what that individual wants, if a total nutter.

We won't let Steven in, because we have our own nut cases. Anyone who wants to come here and spread hate, is not welcome. The 'stay out!' sign goes up.
