A local councillor for the anti-immigration UK Independence Party (UKIP) has blamed recent storms and floods across Britain on the government's decision to legalise gay marriage, it emerged on Saturday.
David Silvester, who defected from Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservative party in protest at the move to allow same-sex couples to marry, made the claim in a letter to his local newspaper.
"I wrote to David Cameron in April 2012 to warn him that disasters would accompany the passage of his same-sex marriage bill," wrote Silvester, an elected member of the town council in Henley-on-Thames, west of London.
He added: "It is his (Cameron's) fault that large swathes of the nation have been afflicted by storms and floods.
"He has arrogantly acted against the Gospel that once made Britain 'great' and the lesson surely to be learned is that no man or men, however powerful, can mess with Almighty God with impunity and get away with it, for everything a nation does is weighed on the scale of divine approval or disapproval."
The Conservative member of parliament for Henley, John Howell, said the comments were "not the sort of thing that he should have written in today's age" and said Silvester needed to "consider his position".
A UKIP spokeswoman said Silvester's views were "not the party's belief" but said he was entitled to state his opinions.
Cameron pushed through the gay marriage law last year against fierce opposition within his Conservative party, and the first weddings are expected to take place in March.
In a concession to opposition from the established Churches of England and Wales, however, those institutions are banned from conducting ceremonies.
UKIP prides itself on not bowing to what it terms "political correctness" on social issues and is steadily building support with its anti-immigration and anti-EU message.
It has no MPs but is the third largest party in the opinion polls, with about 12 percent of support, and is expected to do well in May's European Parliament elections.

Dying breed, fortunately.

`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

The UKIP is just the UK's answer to the Tea Party.

The Tea Party aren't Neo-Nazis (though you can find quite a few racist in their ranks, just like the UKIP), they're just a group of right-wing loonies: "protectionism", "free market" fantasies bizarrely mixed with a longing for small town community values, religious conservatism, opposition to immigration, all the stuff this UKIP stand for. It's just like if the Tea Party here began running as an independent party.

Married gays to tour drought-hit countries
20-01-14

BETROTHED homosexuals are to use their magical flood-creating powers to bring new life to desert regions.

There is a point to getting married

Gay people in civil partnerships, who have been granted the power to summon rainstorms from the heavens by God and UKIP, plan to use it benevolently.

Nathan Muir, who saw storm clouds forming as he kissed his husband on their wedding day, said: “We’re honeymooning in Sub-Saharan Africa so that we can bring the waters of gayness to its parched landscape.

“If one small kiss summons a full-on pea souper imagine what fully penetrative gay intercourse could do.”

He added: “A lot of people think God dislikes homosexuals, but if that’s so why did he give us supernatural powers?

“Apparently he destroyed Sodom by sending loads of fire and brimstone, but those things are very useful in the right amounts.

“If Sodom’s level of gay sex had been just a fraction lower it would’ve been kept snugly warm. The moral is that God’s fine with moderate amounts of gay sex.”

Homosexuals are being welcomed in drought-prone regions, with Australia’s Irri-GAY-Tion chain of honeymoon hotels in the Outback paying couples $2,500 a night.

And in Africa, gay marriages are the new craze among farmers keen to provide for their families.

Ethiopian Abdu Gobena said: “They say homosexuality is an abomination in God’s sight, but on the other hand walking seven miles a day for drinking water sucks pretty hard too.”

Ok, let's say this unevolved moron is correct and these floods really are God's wrath against legalising same-sex marriage. Is there really no better way that an all-powerful, all-knowing architect of the universe could think of to disapprove of same-sex marriage than drowning a teenager and an elderly guy on a mobility scooter? I mean, let's forget the fact that it didn't work and that same-sex marriage will still be legalised, and let's forget that most of UK didn't even notice or give a single fuck. Is this really supposed to be the calculated act of a maximally intelligent being?

Too fucking busy, and vice versa.

This is like the Iranian ulema blaming earthquakes on loose Muslim morals and women who don't cover their hair.

Atheism is a non-prophet organization.
