A Very Ironic Thing Happened To A Man Who Blames Gay People For Disasters

A home owned by the head of a "family" group that has claimed that the LGBT community could bring about human extinction has been nearly destroyed in a flood.
In 2015, the Family Research Council's Tony Perkins interviewed extreme Messianic Jewish pastor Jonathan Cahn, who suggested that Hurricane Joaquin, which devastated Hawaii, was a "sign of God's wrath" against abortion and the Supreme Court's historic ruling on same-sex marriage. Perkins agreed, saying that while "those on the left like to mock these things," American leaders have historically viewed hurricanes as signs that "God is trying to send us a message."
-----------------------------------------------
So Mr. Perkins, which is it. Is God punishing you for the bile you spew, or are you just gay yourself?
No, according to him this time it was an, "incredible, encouraging spiritual exercise to take you to the next level in your walk with an almighty and gracious God who does all things well."

Yeah as much i hate to see anyone suffer loss, this was pretty ironic. Maybe he isn't telling his followers something about himself or maybe God loves gay people too. Certainly the latter and possibly the former.

Cahn made the statements, not Perkins. Wrong storm, by the way. It's just bad reporting, in my opinion.
