Texas flooding caused by "witchcraft and sodomy," not Global Warming?

From Politics USA: Right-Wingers Claim Texas Flooding Caused, Not By Climate Change, But 'Witchcraft and Sodomy':

“Rebecca in College Station, Texas” shared this theory with Bryan Fischer the other day during his radio show. She said that “the places that are underwater [are] are overrun with witchcraft and sodomy. If you go into those areas, you can just see it.”

Houston, she complains, “has a whole area that is like Sodom and Gomorrah.” Houston, she says, even has a “sodomite mayor”!

Of course, Crazy Bryan just ate it up!

If you’re going to attribute the flooding in Texas to some kind of supernatural cause, you can make a geographical connection between the flooding and the practice of the occult and witchcraft and the embrace of homosexuality. That’s where the disaster is being felt the worse.

Politics USA blogger Hrafnkell Haraldsson, apparently done read him some scripture too - despite being a self-proclaimed polytheist; he cited Ezekiel 16, 49-50:

"This was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her sisters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but they did not aid the poor and needy. They were haughty, and did abominable things before me."

This was the real sin of Sodom. Yes, Genesis 19 relates how Lot, a 'virtuous man' was visited by two angels disguised as men, with a contract on the city, and a mob of citizens wanted the heavenly hit-men sent out so that "we may know them;" but, Ezekiel said the original reason for the heavenly sanction was that they had forgotten the poor and needy. Having said that, it's a surprise that most of our state capitols are still above water, at least the Republican controlled ones.

Houston's mayor is a lesbian. I'm doubting there is any sodomy in that relationship.

But even if there is, STFU and grab a science book, “Rebecca in College Station, Texas”.

These two underclasses have always been ripe for being scapegoats for disasters to deflect blame from those who might actually be responsible. We know that climate change is man made and we know who is really responsible so blame the witches and sodomites instead.

When did we go back to the Middle Ages?
