Maybe it was all the low-frequency techno beats


From the "And You Thought This Shit Only Happened In Kansas" department:

Shlomo Benizri, Republican ultra-Orthodox member of the Israeli Knesset, has demonstrated that idiocy in the service of hate is truly a universal thang, as he blamed a recent spate of earthquakes on that country's emerging legislative progress in gay equality, most recently a ruling in support of adoption by same-sex couples. Quoth the Reverend Robertson Rabbi:

Why do earthquakes happen? One of the reasons is the things to which the Knesset gives legitimacy, to sodomy...

We are looking for earthly solutions, how to prevent them. I have another way to prevent earthquakes. The Gemara [religious text] says that one of the reasons earthquakes happen - which the Knesset legitimizes - is homosexuality.

But wait kids, there's more:

A cost-effective way of averting earthquake damage would be to stop passing legislation on how to encourage homosexual activity in the State of Israel, which anyways causes earthquakes.

And finally, the money shot:

God says you shake your genitals where you are not supposed to and I will shake my world in order to wake you up(!)

Do I sense a "shake your genitals" house remix, perhaps?

...well this shit pretty much speaks for itself so it's offered largely without comment, except for this: I hereby switch my endorsement from Sherri Shepherd as Mike Huckabee's running mate on the "Ignorant Dumbfuck Hatemonger" ticket: pick this guy. Because homophobia is truly an interfaith proposition, and one thing that fundies of all faiths can agree upon is how much they truly and secretly wish to take it up the chuff...
