Former Australian rugby player Israel Folau is continuing his homophobic shtick by saying that Australias raging bushfires were caused by Gods wrath over Australia legalizing same-sex marriage.
Folau, who was terminated from his position on the New South Wales Waratahs rugby team this last April after telling his over 330,000 Instagram followers that hell awaits
homosexuals, made his bushfire comments in a sermon he delivered this weekend.
Same-sex marriage, he said, in the eyes of God its evil. In society today, its good
. Look how rapid these bushfires, these droughts, all these things have come in a short period time. Do you think its a coincidence or not.

Had no idea the Aussies were also considering a disgusting "religious freedom" bill, too.

(22,868 posts)... why did the so-called god create it in the first place? I mean, it's supposed to be omnipotent and omniscient. It should've known it was "bad" if it didn't want people to be gay.
The idea that god is punishing humanity for homosexuality is even more ridiculous. Why would it burn the forests and homes? Why not just act against the gay people? My favorite part of this nonsense is that I'm told god loves us all. Really?! Then why did it allow such hatred and ignorance to exist?
The whole religious thing is just utter bullshit and I think this fool, Folau, took too many head shots during his soccer career. Dumb jock.
