    From the link : """Last September, when Hurricane Joaquin was battering the Bahamas and threatening the nation's eastern seaboard, Perkins was singing a different tune.

    Perkins was interviewing a rabbi who also opposes gay marriage and who suggested that Joaquin might strike Washington as payback for the "desecration of marriage."

    "There are those on the left who like to mock these things," Perkins agreed. "There's a long line of historical tradition here where we, not so much in recent years, but they have stepped back and said, is God trying to send us a message?""""






    Tony, did you get the message? :)

    So, you're both saying that since his home was destroyed by the flood he must be gay. You're actually saying he was right when he "called natural disasters God's wrath against gay people".

    That's about the dumbest thing anyone has ever posted anywhere anytime.

    So I'm guessing you've never heard the term 'facetious'? Or 'irony'? Cheeze.

    Humor is one way to go with this; the bigot got some comeuppance. Though, if we were to take enjoyment from his suffering, we'd be no better than him for it

    What is another way to go with this, is Perkins using this loss to increase his efforts in directing his followers, or the people who take counsel from him, probably equating himself to Job in the process.

    Let's see how he winds up responding. The flood was a turning point, this is certain. Now we see where it turns.

    Or perhaps you were hoisted with your own petard.

    And perhaps as you were the only one who responded as you did, I'd have to disagree with your 'petard' remark.
