Among the things that this family has done over the years: They blamed the 911 attacks on abortion. They have picketed local Islamic centers and mosques. They disrupted a Unitarian church service and showed graphic abortion pictures to the church's nursery. They loudly and persistently disrupted a gay wedding. Actually, they've done a lot of stupid stuff.
So it shouldn't be a surprise that they blamed the damage and deaths caused by Hurricane Irma on gay marriage, homosexuality, and trans people:
In our Bible reading from yesterday on the schedule that we were on.... Psalm 104 was our reading. And listen to what verse 4 says. It says, "God, he makes the winds his messengers." So God is speaking through the wind and now we have just yesterday Hurricane Irma touching land in Florida and God is speaking, saying "I'm making the winds my messengers." And throughout the rest of that, the next few verses in Psalm 104, it talks about the waters of the flood and how God then pulled back the waters from the flood and he set waters in their boundaries and he made the land boundaries for the water. And now what we see with Hurricane Irma and any other hurricane, the most dangerous thing is not the wind. The most dangerous thing is the storm surge. And what a storm surge is is when the waters breach their boundaries. And when they breach their boundaries, we get a chance to see what types of havoc they can create.That's right. My marriage and others like it is the moral storm surge that's destroying our nation. And don't get me started on trans people using public restrooms that correspond with their gender identity.
And we see that morally and spiritually in America today. The boundaries that God has put out for us morally are for our flourishing and for his best in our lives. And when we say that gender, there is no boundary. When we say that sexuality, there is no boundary. When we say that marriage can be whatever you want it to be, we are breaching the boundaries of God. And we as a country on the anniversary of 911 -- 16 years after that horrific terrorist took place in our country -- God is speaking: "Repent! Yes, you've rebuilt, but it's time to repent because the damage is when the boundaries are removed and the storm surge of moral corruption comes in. That is what's devastating our nation.
I have no doubt that the Benham Brothers truly believe that society will drastically improve when every homo breaks up his family and every lesbian marries a man. But getting rid of the gays and the trans people won't improve the culture and it certainly won't stop the storms. Once the LGBT communities are erradicated, people like the Benham Brothers will identify others whose morally inferior lives are blocking God from blessing this nation into becoming the paradise that these guys desire.
