Bird Flu A Punishment For The Gays?

Um, can you repeat that again? Yeah it seems some old Rabbi as attributed the bird flu outbreak to gay people and gay "politics". People like this give GOD a bad name. No really, these kinds of "theories" and "figure" heads of religion, start spouting off weird hurtful things and soon people everywhere start blaming God, or religion, or both. This stuff pisses me off and frustrates me. You can read below a part of the article...

"Rabbi David Basri, a prominent Kabbalah preacher, has attributed an outbreak of deadly bird flu in Israel to calls in election campaigns to legalise gay marriages. Wading in firmly against flighty liberalism, Basri's son quoted his father in a religious edict saying: "God punishes depravity first through plagues against animals and then in people." It should be obvious, he concluded, that bird flu is caused by political parties "strengthening and encouraging homosexuality." A devastating blow to twitchers everywhere, and pretty tough on the birds. The dead birds would atone for the sins of pro-gay politicians, Basri hoped, though even he had to concede that death through infection was not a run of the mill form of sacrifice. Rabbi Danny Rich, the Head of British Liberal Judaism responded, "This Kabbalist seems to be muddled by his own mysticism and mystery. He must be a confused, sad man." Read The Rest Here. If they keep this up I don't think they will be selling more of "their" magic water...
