Rabbi Yehuda Levin has a message about gays in the military--he's against it. This is garden-variety stupid until about 2 minutes in, and then it just goes guano-loco:
Got that?
God caused the attacks on 9/11 because thirteen months earlier, NYC passed some domestic partnerships legislation. Oh, and he did Hurricane Katrina and the Haitian earthquake because, well, people were asking for it. And God being God--he kills the innocent and the guilty together. THe rabbi seems to genuinely believe that God just causes massive slaughter and mayhem after people do things He doesn't like, albeit on no particular time-table and with no particular specificity.
Now, I tend to blame the 9/11 attacks on Al-Qaeda, earthquakes on shifting tectonic plates and hurricanes on atmospheric conditions, but then I'm very literal-minded like that. But even if I could put aside logic for a minute to grasp a narrative where an all-powerful supernatural entity shows his displeasure in quite this way, I don't think I could worship such an entity. It would feel to me too much like kissing the ass of a whimsical, psychopathic tyrant.
