Just to remind everyone that middle-eastern Muslim clerics don’t have a monopoly on crazy wackjobbery, here’s a new supernatural hypothesis from an American Christian minister:
It has been widely broadcast that the largest Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in the nation has been built in Houston, TX. This six story tall (six is the number of the flesh man*) abortion supercenter was opened in May, just a short time before the Deepwater Horizon oil disaster began.
And because Houston has other places that provide abortion services, that’s obviously the cause of the oil leak. Yep, air-tight reasoning, right there. And while I’m pro-choice, I think testing this hypothesis scientifically may have some ethical ramifications, sooooo…yeah, let’s just skip right to calling this guy a loon, okay?
He also rambles a bit about how “nice” Christians like Joel Osteen are ruining Christianity, and something about hurricanes and babies, but hell if I can figure it out. I just like this graphic he uses of a hurricane baby:
Aha! Proof of…um…something. Maybe an overactive imagination?
(Via Jezebel)
*WTF?

An abortion supercenter is like a regular abortion clinic, except you can also buy your groceries while you’re there!

Ooh, is that like that picture of Jesus hidden in the dog’s anus? ;-PSeriously, Houston’s already a shitty place and has been for years. I know, I used to live there, I went to school there. The only thing it has going for it is a lesbian mayor (I’m surprised he didn’t blame it on that), a much superior trans community to the one here in Denver and it has abortion clinics. Other than that, it’s a real hellhole.

Too bad he filters his comments. Didn’t exactly troll, but I did call him on his shit. I mean conservatives tend to run the bureaucracy involving drilling, conservatives tend to be pro-life, a pro-lifer probably approved or had a hand in approving the drill site and protocols in place at Deepwater Horizon. So really, pro-lifer(s) is(are) probably causally to blame for this Radicals are always dangerous. At the same time it’s impossible to get rid of them. Charismatic personalities often take people for a ride and a lot of the times they’ve got charisma in spades and about as much intelligence as a box of hammers.I figure that probably 1:100 have the qualities to be a radical (mild to severe sociopath) and maybe 1:100 has the charismatic qualities that make a leader, so 1:10,000 people are charismatic radical leader material. What can you do?

I think all the restrictions on abortion caused the oil spill! Nebraska has been trying to give eggs personhood, Oklahoma has new ultrasound laws. Yup, it’s all those women being forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term that caused the oil spill. Also, abortion supercentre? Really? Oh, please excuse my Canadian spelling.

I agree w/ Chris above — God’s got lousy aim (and little concern for all the poor wildlife affected by this) if this is his way of punishing people for abortion.But his claims *could* be tested empirically and ethically (just not experimentally). You could look for correlations between abortions per capita and per capita deaths due to natural disasters. But would proving him wrong make him any less crazy? I suspect not.

It’s sad when crazy people make religion look bad. All religions, not just one or two.
