“God finds this somewhat gay-like behavior confusing, and He responded by getting mildly peeved.” Pat Robertson
Evangelist, Pat Robertson, had a lot to say about the earthquakes on the East Coast during his 700 Club program. This isn’t too shocking because he often preaches hatred and ignorance, but it’s getting a bit ridiculous, in my opinion.
“All across the Eastern seaboard, there are men who get manicures, wear designer eyewear and know about thread counts,” Rev. Robertson. “God finds this somewhat gay-like behavior confusing, and He responded by getting mildly peeved.”
As I watched and listened to what he was saying, he sounded strikingly familiar. I tried to understand where I had heard these words before, and then it hit me; I had heard similar statements from the Westboro Baptist Church. He mentioned that if Americans wanted to continue to act in a “seemingly sort-of-gay behavior,” then we should be aware that God Almighty would take vengeance and show his anger for our actions.
“God will strike back at people who act sort of gay with all kinds of mild responses,” he said. “If you keep getting pedicures and facials, you can expect two to three inches of rain and some really hot humid days in your future.”
If this were true (and I highly doubt it is) global warming, droughts, etc. would not be a problem for us, Mr. Robertson. Plenty of women, both gay and straight, have been getting pedicures, manicures, and facials for years. In fact, plenty of men (whether they’ve been open homosexuals is another question) have been pampered themselves in previous years. I doubt that our political stance on gay marriage has prompted God to take action, and mild action, at that.
And another thing, could you imagine Native Americans back in the day getting pedicures and facials instead of doing rain dances to incite weather changes? This would have been spectacular! The main reason this would have been so great is the simple fact that these acts alone wouldn’t be deemed feminine or homosexual, but necessary and therefore, accepted by all.
“God looks at people who get their panties in a twist after a little shaking, and He says to Himself, ‘Wow, that’s really kind of gay,’” he said.
I love that God talks like a middle schooler and finds our reaction to something unfamiliar “kind of gay.” That doesn’t sound like the omniscient God that was described to me in Church. And how narcissistic of Mr. Pat Robertson to assume that God would be devoting time to condemn gays in New York, rather than help out people who are in need. What a petty man this God is acting like. And you know what, I don’t like petty and judgmental.
Does God like it when people stand up to persecutors?! Because, although I don’t believe in his existence, if I did, I’d be willing to bet he’d stand behind my message and not yours. So, in closing, Fuck you Mr. Pat Robertson.
BREAKING NEWS!!! Steve Jobs No Longer CEO of Apple?!
Here’s the official word from Apple via BusinessWire:
Apple’s Board of Directors today announced that Steve Jobs has resigned as Chief Executive Officer, and the Board has named Tim Cook, previously Apple’s Chief Operating Officer, as the company’s new CEO. Jobs has been elected Chairman of the Board and Cook will join the Board, effective immediately.
“Steve’s extraordinary vision and leadership saved Apple and guided it to its position as the world’s most innovative and valuable technology company,” said Art Levinson, Chairman of Genentech, on behalf of Apple’s Board. “Steve has made countless contributions to Apple’s success, and he has attracted and inspired Apple’s immensely creative employees and world class executive team. In his new role as Chairman of the Board, Steve will continue to serve Apple with his unique insights, creativity and inspiration.”
“The Board has complete confidence that Tim is the right person to be our next CEO,” added Levinson. “Tim’s 13 years of service to Apple have been marked by outstanding performance, and he has demonstrated remarkable talent and sound judgment in everything he does.”
Jobs submitted his resignation to the Board today and strongly recommended that the Board implement its succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO.
As COO, Cook was previously responsible for all of the company’s worldwide sales and operations, including end-to-end management of Apple’s supply chain, sales activities, and service and support in all markets and countries. He also headed Apple’s Macintosh division and played a key role in the continued development of strategic reseller and supplier relationships, ensuring flexibility in response to an increasingly demanding marketplace.
Police Break Up Violent Doughnut Crime Ring In Greece
THESSALONIKI, Greece — It took an undercover operation, but Greek police have blown a hole in a ring of alleged crooks who had cornered the doughnut market in a beach resort.
It started with complaints that two Bulgarian men and a former Greek wrestling champion were using violence to choke off the trade by other doughnut vendors on Paliouri beach in the Halkidiki peninsula near Thessaloniki.
So an undercover officer posed as a doughnut seller, police said Tuesday, and he was attacked, leading to the arrest of the three aggressive doughnut sellers.
As a result, they have been charged with blackmail and fraud. They also were charged with food safety violations after police found they had stashed their product in an abandoned hotel that was open to the elements and used by bathers as a toilet.
I don’t know about you, but I was completely unaware that the doughnut business was taken so seriously in Greece. Although, it makes sense that the police would be bothered that the choices of donut shops were swindling. Most people warn you to stay away from selling illegal drugs, sex, etc. but no one warns you about the dangers of pastries. Thank goodness these criminals have been brought to justice and the doughnut business can continue to flourish in the, no longer dominated, industry.
Teacher Who Called Gay Marriages a Cesspool: “Do I Apologize? No”
A Social Studies teacher at Mount Dora High, Jerry Buell, was suspended awhile ago for making anti-gay comments on FaceBook. This seems shocking enough, but now the currently suspended teacher is refusing to apologize citing his First Amendment Rights.
The incident that led to Buell being suspended had been his reaction to New York’s enabling of gay couples to marry in their state. Please let me address the fact that Mr. Buell does not reside in the state of New York; He lives in Florida, like many other narcissistic and cruel individuals I’ve written about lately. An election gave the state of Florida a bad name, and a seemingly large group of people keep perpetuating that image. Shame on you Floridiots.
The advocate states that he went to FaceBook and said this:
the news left him having to “almost throw up” and that same-sex marriages are a “cesspool.”
Apparently these comments were made during the Summer and therefore, he should not be punished because it was done on personal time. Sadly, kids can still get in trouble for sex and fighting on their personal time, but school officials find THAT necessary to get involved in. When you become a teacher, you understand that children look up to you; To be so ignorant and go onto a predominantly youth based social media site, and preach such hatred while divulging your radically political beliefs, is unprofessional. In my opinion, that is.
I have to admit that I hope you’re reading this and can contain yourself from throwing up:
59-Year-Old Guy Busted For Driving, Drinking Beer, Having Sex At Same Time
Kentuckian George Howard is facing several criminal charges following his arrest this morning for allegedly engaging in some illegal automotive multitasking.
Meet George Howard.
The Kentucky man was arrested early this morning after police spotted his 2006 Ford swerving across the road in a Louisville suburb. At one point, the vehicle collided with the curb, almost causing an accident.
Cops say that Howard, 59, was having difficulty controlling the auto because he was simultaneously driving, drinking a beer, and having sex with his 53-year-old female passenger (whose head was buried between Howard’s legs).
Howard, pictured in the mug shot at right, copped to having sex while driving, according to a Jefferstown Police Department report. An officer reported spotting Howard drinking a beer prior to a traffic stop. A subsequent Breathalyzer test recorded his blood alcohol content at .152, nearly twice the state’s .08 limit.
Howard’s companion, who was not arrested, tried to hide a beer under her dress as police approached. When Howard exited the car, “his pants fell to the ground,” police reported. Booked for drunk driving, wanton endangerment, and reckless driving, Howard was released from jail late this afternoon.
Naked New Yorker Goes Door To Door Stabbing People
Earlier this morning in New York, Christian Fallero, 23, has been identified as the naked man who took a six-inch kitchen knife door-to-door stabbing whomever answered. Although only one individual was killed during the attacks, four others were injured.
Three individuals were women between the ages of 60 and 85. There was also a 22-year-old female that was punched by Fallero and another man, 81-year-old Ignacio Reyes-Collazo, who was killed after the stabbing. Each of these individuals opened their door, unaware that a naked man yielding a six inch blade would be standing there and prepared to stab them. After wreaking havoc within the neighborhood, he turned the blade on himself.
According to Dailymail:
It happened in the Washington Heights neighbourhood of upper Manhattan at around 4.30pm local time.
