"Thirteen months before 9/11, on the day New York City passed homosexual domestic partnership regulations, I joined a group of Rabbis at a City Hall prayer service, pleading with G-d not to visit disaster on the city of N.Y. We have seen the underground earthquake, tsunami, Katrina, and now Haiti. All this is in sync with a two thousand year old teaching in the Talmud that the practice of homosexuality is a spiritual cause of earthquakes. Once a disaster is unleashed, innocents are also victims just like in Chernobyl. We plead with saner heads in Congress and the Pentagon to stop sodomization of our military and our society. Enough is enough." - Rabbi Yehuda Levin, spokesman for the Rabbinical Alliance of America.

Fundamentalists of America, unite! You have nothing to lose but your insanity! (With apologies to Marx/Engels.) God preserve us from nut cases, bolts, screwballs and all others whose religious beliefs have unhinged their meagre intelligence.
But, we must certainly be impressed. The immediate result of NYC passing legislation favourable to gays was 9/11. Well, to be honest, not an immediate result; just some 13 months late. But what matters a delay of 13 months in specie aeternitas?
The learned rabbi was quite reserved in his judgement. After all, he could have included other disasters that have hit the American people because of those damned gays. What about the death of Michael Jackson? What about the divorce (?) of Angelina and Brad? Nor did he even hint at the greatest disaster yet (from his point of view): the election of a black Democrat as President of the USA. What nobility! What reserve!
Dear Rabbi Levin, get a life!

The paradox has often been noted that the United States, founded in secularism, is now the most religiose country in Christendom, while England, with an established church headed by its constitutional monarch, is among the least. (Richard Dawkins, 2006)
