God Hates Arkansas

Or, at the very least, He’s warning the state of more severe punishment to come, in retaliation for its most recent display of homophobic bigotry, persecution, and hatred heaped upon His cherished gay and lesbian children.

What else could explain earthquakes in Arkansas? After all, Radical Righties (like Roland Meyer of Nevada City) were blaming June fires in California on God’s wrath over our Supreme Court clearing the way for marriage equality; it’s a tradition that long precedes Jerry Falwell blaming “the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way” (and others immune to incurable religious insanity) for causing 9/11 by making “God mad.”

(Funny how the blame-the-gays nuts didn’t come crawling out of the woodwork when fires raged through Los Angeles County after L.A. voted to enshrine anti-gay hate in the California Constitution. Gee, come to think of it, the blame-the-gays set gets awfully quiet every time hurricanes and tornadoes flatten the virulently anti-gay Bible Belt of the South and the Plains states… every year, like clockwork. Funny, that.)

So, what else could explain the series of earthquakes in central Arkansas over the past few weeks — that is, immediately following November 4th, when Arkansas descended completely into the 13th century by outlawing adoption by gay people (and other unmarried folks — but really, we all know unwed heteros were just collateral damage to the fundy-mentals in their crazed war on gays)?

If you follow fundy thinking, there’s only one answer: Arkansas is making God mad.
