		<description>Well, now it looks like not only fires are raining down from an angry god over how badly his LGBT children are being treated in the Golden State.

Now it seems that even Arkansas is facing the wrath of an angry god! Recall that voters in Arkansas recently passed Act 1, which restricts adoption and fostering only to married couples. Since gays cannot marry, they now cannot adopt or foster in Arkansas. This also affects single straight people as well, of course. But, everyone knows that it was the gays that were specifically targeted by the backers of Act 1.

Now, I read this latest news from Arkansas:

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gFMHRVlmLRQtwwnjzoDjOGi6iMqAD94NSS4O3&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Expert: Small Ark. earthquakes could be warning&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

God is very displeased with how the gays are being treated in our country. The extreme religious right wing should recognize this and undo all the damage that they have done and give LGBT people equal &quot;civil&quot; rights before more damage is done.</description>

		<description>Oh Hell, and here I was thinking that the fires were caused by dry and hot weather, dry brush, and high winds.
What a dumb ass am I?</description>

		<description>If God were pissed at the gays then West Hollywood and Silver Lake would be on fire.

What did James Hartline have to say about the reason for last year&#039;s Poway fires?  What was God pissed about then?  Days earlier Blackwater had announced plans to build a training facility in Portrero, east of San Diego - was that it?  What?  The two cities are over 50 miles apart?  Damn!  

Hartline&#039;s a fool who wants air time and exposure for his lunatic fringe rants.</description>

		<description>This is the perfect opportunity to expose such crackpots.  They can&#039;t even get cause and effect straight.  These shrill Pharisees are quite likely going to stoke up the movement to stop the damage religion has been doing to the human race for the last 5000 or so years.  At least, I hope so.  

I just wish that when Christianity had the chance, it would have corrected the mistake of anthropomorphizing and imbuing God with all the human weaknesses we&#039;re lugging around in our excess baggage.  Of course, the Catholic Church had to come along to cement their hierarchy squarely between Man and God, and throw back to the Cults of Yahweh, dragging  the old testament along with, and into, their Good News.  Probably a politically motivated move on their part, not wanting to alienate all those readers of the Torah.

Some people can&#039;t get it right even with a third try I suppose.</description>

		<description>I&#039;d rather be the godless, hell-bound, immoral homosexual these Christians say I am than sell my soul to the church and believe their fanatical nonsense.</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s not forget all of those that donated what may have amounted to their &quot;life savings&quot; to Yes on 8 and now they don&#039;t have the money to pay the insurance deductibles or rebuild their lives.

See, how almighty God has punished those with bigotry, prejudice and discrimination in their hearts!

The Supremes better strike down Prop. 8 pronto, otherwise God will make toast of the coast!</description>

		<description>The rich folks who voted against Prop 8 have lots of insurance and money and will rebuild what was only their 2nd, 3rd or 4th homes. The trailer/hill folks who lost it all and voted in droves for Prop 8 are toast, quite literally. Who got god&#039;s wrath? The pro people.</description>
