In 1998, he specifilly suggted that God might send hurrin and a hellfire of lightng bolts to Florida to stroy Disneyworld retaliatn for sponsorg a “Gay Days” weekend.

After 9/11, he joed Jerry Falwell attributg the terrorist attacks on New York and Washgton DC to God’s wrath aimed at “pagans, abortnists, gays, lbians, [and] the Amerin Civil Liberti Unn. In what is almost surely a shoe- for an Ig Nobel Prize, a study by Aidan Bissell-Sirs tted the hypoth that “higher gayns higher storm damag” and that “higher godls lower storm damag. ”1 Usg data om the Amerin Communy Survey and the Natnal Climatic Data Center, he found no statistilly signifint rrelatn between gay marriage and per pa storm damage by US state.

It appears that, His wisdom, God has let same-sex upl off the hook and stead directed His stormy anger towards relig servicepersons for their failure to stop gay marriage. 2 The thors found that more tense hurrin were signifintly more likely stat wh more Republin voters, wh no signifint differenc when parg stat that passed legislatn legalizg or banng gay marriage. “Our rults suggt no dive punishment for votg Democrat or approvg gay marriage… eher God has longstandg wrath agast the southern US stat or they jt happen to fall the path of hurrin.
