2016: God smites home of gay-bashing media “Christian” who says God punishes gays with natural disasters
A gentle reminder from 2016: this is what happens when irony gets turned up to 11!
Tony Perkins, president of the anti-gay religious lobbying group the Family Research Council, had his home destroyed by the massive flooding ravaging Southern Louisiana this week.
Although no one wants to celebrate a person losing their home, the destruction of Perkins’ house isn’t without irony, considering that he’s claimed in the past that natural disasters are God’s way of punishing an increasingly gay-friendly world.
Calling into his own radio show, Perkins described the flood as being of “biblical proportions,” adding that he and his family will have to live in a camper for 6 months until the damage is repaired.
But Perkins was careful to point out that this particular flood wasn’t because of the gays, but rather 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, right, winner – even the Russian judge gave God a 10 on demolishing your hovel! You can hear Tony’s call-in here, if that’s your kind of thing. It’s more fun listening as the schadenfreude rolls in, though:
Hey Tony, why did God send disaster to punish you? Are you hiding something?🤔 pic.twitter.com/1gYUr0RLwu

How about when @Tperkins paid lobbyists to argue in favor of the death penalty for homosexuality? https://t.co/AqqUmsCm6g

Hypocrite @tperkins isn’t facing a spiritual struggle so much as seasoning the words he’s gotta eat. https://t.co/XAiXZb8kch
