Everyone around here should know by now that any disturbance in the natural world is a direct result of God agreeing with the political agenda of the religious right. Here’s yet another example: the recent massive bird deaths are all because of DADT being repealed!
Cindy Jacobs is obviously wrong. Birds aren’t dying because Americans made progress in gay rights! Birds are dying because they’re so gay! With your lesbian albatrosses, and gay penguins (who got a book deal to corrupt our youth, no less)… There are so many examples of homosexual behavior in birds that Wikipedia has a list devoted to it!
No wonder why god struck them down. It’s just unnatural.
Maybe all those disturbance in the natural world are a direct result of God DIS-agreeing with the political agenda of the religious right.
I’m speechless. Can’t decide if this is hilarious or infuriating. Whichever [or both], it’s clear that Cindy Jacobs is a wacko.
Maybe God doesn’t like Cindy Jacobs’ wardrobe.
People like this demonstrate why basic logic and argumentation should be taught in K-12 education.
Well, I suppose it’s good that she feels her god has moved on from slaughtering humans when he was displeased with them, to taking his displeasure out on birds and fish who had done nothing to deserve it.
I would like to point out two observations. First, no one should speak out against gay animals while wearing shiny purple leopard print. It sends mixed messages. (Although I am sure that no self respecting leapord, gay or straight would be cautgh dead in that blouse.) Secondly, if gay sex kills birds, does anyone here want to see a remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds with a new alternative ending. (Insert wa-wa guitar riff here).
I’m sorry, I don’t take advice from anyone wearing a purple, sequined leopard print blazer.
Last time I checked no birds fell on GLBT service members. God must be frustrated with his increasingly poor aim — thousands of birds fired at the misguided heathens and not a single documentable case of a non-righteous person at the receiving end.The more I hear things these types of claims, the more I realize that the men who made up the scriptures were telling similar tales, which puts the bible in perspective for me. Think about it; the Bible is a virtual treasury trove of tales of jaw-droppingly ludicrous, hatefully smiteful divine retribution often casually sealing the fate of countless innocents and/or creatures whenever the big chief was in the mood to show his finger-waggling abilities to make a point. Were the guys that made the bible stories up the same types of kooks that are promulgating this current-day retribution tripe to their slack-minded followers today? Let’s review the principal differences between the scripture writers and today’s retributive story purveyors; 1. the scripture writers likely ranked a bit higher in the literacy department 2. a few thousand years have gone by3. women are now part of the voice (principally because of policy-rationalizing influences from OUTSIDE of the established religious groups). So, yay for feminism, but other than that, how sad that thousands of years later, there are minds out there that are still dumb enough to say this drivel and deaf enough to listen to it.
It’s hard to fly in black leather ass-chaps
Thank you for writing this. Her wardrobe should be considered a human rights violation.
Hey, that was the best thing the Dollar Store had to offer!
Is that Dana Carvey doing his Church Lady schtick?
So, God gives answers but doesn’t speak clearly except to people who know the answers already and will interpret anything and everything in order to get that answer.I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. I think I have a more complimentary belief regarding God. I believe that God doesn’t exist. This woman believes that God is a petty little prick with the self control of a two year old and even less communication ability.
Could it be… I don’t know… SATAN???
So… if gay sex kills birds, will even gay-er sex kill spiders? Because I’ll happily contribute if that’s the case…
Maybe I would believe the gay sex = dead birds, if the dead bird in question was something more obvious. Why could God smite some masked boobies (Sula dactylatra), bearded tits (Panurus biarmicus), Cocks-of-the-rock (Rupicola sp) or even some dickcissels, (Spiza americana). If he had done that, at least I would have know that it was a warning against something sexual. But red-wing blackbirds? So I am not supposed to live in marshes, and sound like R2d2?
BS like this doesn’t even surprise me anymore. I would like to think of these people as fanatics. Unfortunately, there is more of that mindset sprouting everywhere. Eventually this won’t be extreme anymore but respected and normal. Maybe we do need a reset in 2012!
And God has ALSO decided to drown some kids in Towoomba, Queensland, because Australia’s Foreign Minister, Kevin Rudd, said Bad Things about Israel.http://catchthefire.com.au/blo…(except he didn’t, but you can’t expect these nutjobs to do their research. That’s one of the perks of living in the faith-based community I guess). Time for a variation on Boobquake??
“This woman believes that God is a petty little prick with the self control of a two year old and even less communication ability.”roflmao.
Gayquake!
Everyone (the gays, the bis, the straight-but-not-narrows) has a mass kiss-in at an appointed hour? Then track natural disasters? The trouble is, of course, that the number of natural disasters has been steadily increasing over the last twenty to thirty years. Nothing whatsoever to do with us pouring megatonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. So, need to sort out a baseline, but eminently doable…
I’ve blogged this and the afore-commented Queensland floods story.http://thekingjamessubversion….
I’m seeing another scientific study coming here…. :)
Do these people ever think about what their beliefs would say about God if they were actually right? If these people were right about him it would make God the worst communicator in all known history. I wrote a bit about this on my own blog. skeptimusprime.blogspot.com
Correction: Seagulls.
Not albatrosses. Those are good luck, until you shoot one, then it is a bad omen (but a tasty stadium dish).
Reminds me of the first time I did eight-count bodybuilders.
No. Dana Carver looks better in a dress.
These people have LOST THEIR FREAKIN’ MIND….and they have no clue……acceptance of God and religion cloud free and logical thinking!
Maybe it’s time for another experiment. The Gay-pocalypse!
I’m surprised she can speak out against homosexuality with those heavy-ass anal beads around her neck.
Why the hell would the birds die in Arkansas? Probably one of the most anti-gay places in America? So illogical it hurts my head! >_<
No, it’s Amy Sedaris as Jerri Blank, Strangers With Candy.
Her wardrobe made me think it was a comedy sketch and tricked me into watching this! Arghgh, I waited 2 minutes for the punchline.
Well, _obviously_ it’s because only in Arkansas will the True God-Fearing Americans ™ see this terrible omen for what it is!!!11!
I’ve seen a building 300 pound dead drunk man in hid midforties make a prettier woman and he only spent forty dollars putting his wordrobe together. Did a Color-blind Satan vomit to create that outfit?
