Quote# 35298

An Israeli MP has blamed parliament's tolerance of gays for earthquakes that have rocked the Holy Land recently.

Shlomo Benizri, of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish Shas Party, said the tremors had been caused by lawmaking that gave "legitimacy to sodomy".

...He called on lawmakers to stop "passing legislation on how to encourage homosexual activity in the state of Israel, which anyway brings about earthquakes".

"homosexual activity in the state of Israel, which anyway brings about earthquakes".
I found that particular way of putting it incredibly funny...
"Stop fucking men! It creates EARTHQUAKES!"
As always - if God(s) didn't want homosexuals to have sex, they could just stop them him(them)self(ves).

Hankdammit, why am I always the last to know about these superpowers that gay people have? Think of the good that I could do with them. "Okay, everybody, vote against the 'protection of marriage' amendment, and my partner and I won't go at it in the hotel by the state capitol and cause a ruinous earthquake."

...And slurping your soup causes tsunamis.

Makes just as much sense.

Gee Shlomo, your problems couldn't possibly be because God let you build your country on a faultline?

In California, religion causes earthquakes. Ever hear of San [Saint] Andrea's fault?

Damn it, and I thought earthquakes were caused by the shifting of the tectonic plates.

Science lies again.

Iran executes homosexuals. That's why they never have earthquakes. [/sarcasm]

Oh, okay and here I was thinking that it was the St. Andreas fault that caused all the quakes in California, but no, apparently it's San Francisco itself...wait a minute...

...we have gay people in Germany, too, but no earthquakes, you must be mistaken, I think it IS tectonic plate movement causing the quakes.

Remember kids; correlation != causality.
Especially if your attempt at a causal link requires some sort of omnipotent vengeful super being.

Well, as someone who has been to gay clubs in Israel and seen how much more tolerant they are over there with homosexuality, I can honestly say that I shook the bed more than once in my Tel Aviv hotel. Maybe he was in the room below me. Sorry about that!

A few years later a guy in Iran says sex in general causes Earthquakes...

Maybe they should meet each other.
