Fundamentalist Michael Heath blames Wall Street’s woes on gays
1 October 2008 by Stardust
I found this bit if news via The Friendly Atheist’s website. Michael Heath, Executive Director of the Christian Civil League of Maine, blames the current financial crisis on gays. Though homosexuality has always been around, even since the formation of our great nation, it is the gays who the sex-obsessed fundies blame for poor business decisions, corporate greed and mismanagement, etc.
Heath is an ignoramus who believes that “if we end abortion rights and stop funding non-profit groups supporting it, amend state constitutions to ban gay marriage and eliminate domestic partnerships and civil unions for gay and lesbian couples, and end discrimination against private religious schools and homeschools,” that all will be right in the world and God will stop dicking with us.
Fundamentalists blame Wall Street’s woes on gays
and if you can stomach it, here is Michael Heath’s sex solution to all of our woes which he believes will make “God crack a smile.”
The nation will right itself if it fixes sex

I find it amusing that in Michael Heath’s bio at his blog, he lists “historical fiction” as one of his interests…like the Bible???

Didn’t Hitler blame Germany’s financial woes on the Jews?

Wow–surprised it took the asshat guild (evangelicals) this long to blame “teh homoez.”
““Our crisis is a symptom, not the cause,” writes Michael Heath.”
Agreed. The cause is greed, unsustainable lifestyles and poor oversight/regulation that started under Regan, has grown ever since, and has reached it’s pinacle under the guidance of the worst President in history.
““I am not saying I know whether this financial crisis is God’s judgment or not.”
Oh, c’mon now, Heath Bar, we all know better. Your self-important sense of “righteous humility” is so disingenuous it would be laughable, if it weren’t for the fact that you are a shameless, inveterate bigot who can pride himself in knowing there’s a siginificant number of people in this country that “think” the same way. Of course you believe you know, otherwise you’d keep your mouth shut. After all, blaming a whole class of people for something so crucial is a bold move, to say the least.
“It is not for me to know that definitively.””
But let’s blame teh gayz all the same, right. Because your bronze age text told you so.
Prick.

So in a country full of bigoted assholes like this guy, the economy’s getting weaker. Yet in more diverse places where gays are more accepted, such as Europe or Canada, their economies are getting stronger. Hmmm…. Something doesn’t quite add up here….

Kate is right but she’s only scratching the surface of the iceberg.
The US is arguably the most religious of the industrialized nations. More Americans claim to believe in god and attend serivices regularly than in any modern European or Scandanavian country. And yet, despite our chummy relationship with the big invisible daddy in the sky, we have the highest rates of divorce, drug addiction, alcoholism, incarceration and violent crime. It would make a rational person stop and think – which explains why Heath doesn’t get it.

Anyone remember those “Heath” electronic Kits?
[You get where I'm goin', right?]
Like…this Heath fuckhead’s brain would be an example of a REALLY bad, cold soldering job; or maybe a short circuited, faulty capacitor; where there should have actually been a properly mounted…
(anti-Bible) resistor?
D’Oooooohm! DZZZZZZ!!…crackle!…POP!…
BAROOOOM!
Pardon my comic book SFX?

Homosexuals are great for the economy. They buy high end fashion goods, they keep hair stylists and mens shoes stores in business, Vaseline and condoms would be very expensive if not for gays creating a demand for those products as well. They invented interior decorating which creates many jobs. And they pay taxes. Many don’t have kids, yet they compensate for school buses and schools and stuff like that.
Plus it costs money to be neatly groomed homosexual. It is a lot cheaper to be a heterosexual slob like me.
Oh, and OT, Bill Maher is pissing me off a bit.

Actually I think he just is confused. The reason for the economic disaster is Homo-nership
