Moby Says God Destroys Republicans (Spouts Out On Evangelicals, Bush Gone Hippy? & Thompson)

Moby is nuts ! Or is he ?

Moby 'believes' God destroys American Republicans with natural disasters. The musician - who is a staunch Democrat - is enraged by who suggest hurricanes and earthquakes are sent by God to destroy sinners, and has come up with a new theory about why the tragedies might occur.

Moby wrote on his personal website: "You know how the religious right will every now and then say that some natural disasters - hurricanes, earthquakes, etc - happen because God is angry at secular sinners?"I mean, personally, I tend to think that things like hurricanes and tornadoes happen for non-anthropocentric reasons and are, actually, just examples of extreme and arbitrary weather."But if natural disasters are, as the evangelicals maintain, a sign of God's wrath, then what does it mean that 90 per cent of the damage caused by tornadoes and hurricanes in the US happen in right-wing, Republican states that are heavily populated by evangelicals?

"Again, I'm of the 'weather tends to happen because of climatological factors' school of thought."But the evangelicals have on plenty of occasions tried to maintain that natural disasters are the products of God's wrath. For example, they said that Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans because New Orleans was hosting a gay pride weekend.

"I'm not making light of the damage done by natural disasters in the US, I'm just trying to point out another small logical inconsistency on the part of our evangelical pals."

States red & blue are made up of Democrats and Republicans so the logic, of course is ludicrous. But the journal is meant to be played in the “ridiculous”..little satirical rebuttals on comments made from our side which are meant for nothing more than to poke controversy on whatever story of the day with the sole intent for a personal agenda seeking media coverage.

Loonies fall on both sides of the aisle.

Whether Moby is Blue, White or Pink..I have to agree with him on the Hippy-in-hiding Bush comment. Take it lightheartedly (as I do) or to the core, depending on how threatened or sensitive the reader is.

Ya think? I thought it was pretty lame but when there’s a Moby thread someone’s gotta do it.

Scary but on level I think the guy is correct. Much of the wrongness from the WH is W’s guilt and good intentions as a Christian.
