Why is these people's god such a dick? They never have examples of this god doing something really cool, just hurting people and being capricious. Doesn't that bother them? Wouldn't it bother you to pray to a god who was just cruel all the time?

Doesn't he reward football teams sometimes?
 
If there is indeed a Lord it would likely exist above the pathetic human design of discrimination. Those who point fingers at specific groups of people based on their race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation lack empathy and logic. As such, it is our responsibility to help guide these people toward a more loving disposition. No, I do not believe we are being punished.
 
What I find interesting is that a lot of the usual anti-gay suspects have remained conspicuously silent about this lady. You know who I mean; the ones who support "the people" oppressing "the gay agenda". The ones who say if we don't let the people oppress others, then well, we've failed as a nation. The ones who claimed the military would be wearing pink dresses if they allowed the gays in. The ones who scream that gays are comparable to pedophiles. Where are they all now? I guess this lady has the balls to say some of the things they won't. Gotta at least give it to her. She don't mince words. Oh well, she's unelectable.

Lately, and not the first time, some people, famous, running for office, celebs etc around the world have said statements like:

“God is angry. We are provoking him with abortions and same-sex marriage and civil unions,” she said.
Candidate Susanne Atanus believes that autism and forms of dementia are punishments sent by God because of the growing support for marriage equality in the country and the prevalence of abortion.

and

"I wrote to David Cameron in April 2012 to warn him that disasters would accompany the passage of his same-sex marriage bill. "It is his fault that large swathes of the nation have been afflicted by storms and floods."

so the question is:

Do you believe we are currently being punished for giving gays equal rights? (floods, bad weather, autism, dementia) etc

Did autism and dementia exist before gay marriage?

There's your answer.

Clearly, god is punishing all of the other teams. I watched myself as she punished the 49ers in Seattle. It must have been god influencing the referees and moving that football just a little bit to create incomplete passes and interceptions.

Maybe there are gays on the teams that lost. Yes, come to think of it, that must be it.
 
If this vicious, evil bitch gets one vote, someone should go to hell.

If the rumors about Aaron Rodgers are true, that would explain the Packers' exit. Of course, he already has a ring, so I don't know what's up with that.

I voted no, but what I really want to say is that we need to take a look at the other side of the coin-Maybe mankind is being punished for all of the evil things that it has done/not done.

That seems just as likely/unlikely to me.

Possible but autism wouldnt be a part of it.

For a second there I thought the Penguin from Batman Returns cut his hair, put on a wig, and was running for congress. Sure the nose is a little smaller but the resemblence is uncanny.

I just opened the link and scared my 4 year old with her picture. It was pretty amusing. He said "ahhhh! Scary!", and hid his face in my side. It was cute.
 
We all have had equal rights for a long time lol

I think this refers to allowing gay couples an equal opportunity to get married.

They always could marry, just not in the same sex they had the same rights that I have.

That's one way of looking at it.

Edit: Think of it this way - now you have MORE rights - you can marry your male roommate and save on taxes.

They didn't want "equal rights" they wanted a law changed, they used the term "equal rights"to gain sympathy from the low information voter

If we were going to be "punished" for anything, it would be abortion and the rampant immorality and hedonistic depravity which has become endemic to our culture in recent decades. Hell! In many ways, we already are being "punished" in the form of a barely functional society on the verge of decline and possibly even eventual collapse.

The issue of "gay rights" barely even registers in comparison to the above.

Hey don't knock hedonistic depravity until you've tried it.
