David Barton: God Gives Us Bad Weather Because Women Are Having Abortions

On yesterday’s episode of WallBuilders Live!, Christian pseudo-historian David Barton explained that God gives us bad weather because we’re doing things that upset Him.

Quote:
Another one I’ll throw out is weather. It’s interesting in the Bible, weather patterns are often predicated on whether the people doing the right thing or the wrong thing. And if people sin against God, then you get floods, and you get storms, you get lightning, you get all your crops get destroyed, you get all sorts of things…

… today 52 percent of Christians think that God does a really lousy job with the weather. Maybe it’s not his choice that is doing it. Maybe it’s our own sin or our own unrighteous policies. Maybe it’s because we love killing unborn kids, 60 million of them. Maybe God says, “I’m not going to bless your land when you’re doing it.”

Believe it or not, abortion has no effect on the weather. The snow’s going to come in winter whether we’re sinning or not. That was true in biblical times and it’s true now. There’s bad weather

It also makes you wonder why, if Barton’s right, some Christian governors have prayed for rain. Maybe they should just stop sinning… or recognize that God must hate them.

The stupid, it burns...

1. And there it is....religion once again getting a pass

If you said anything other than "god" and left the rest unchanged, people would lock you up as a crazy person....but interject a sky daddy and it is considered respectable...

Nope, ALL religions are equally inane.

5. ANYTHING in the guise of religion is ok by these idiots

2. Every day this week, I have gotten drenched on my ride home from work...

Is it:

a.) the Florida wet season that started this month

or

b.) did I somehow get an abortion even though I am a guy?

3. Matthew 5:45

Rains on the just and the unjust.

10. Rain rains on the just and the unjust

"rain rains on the just and the unjust fella;
but more upon the just because
the unjust has the just's umbrella"

I thought it was Ogden Nash but on a quick search, it appears to be attributed to Lord Bowen

4. Throw some virgins in a volcano quick ! *rolls eyes*

[Nitram]

6. So, like, California has no abortions?

[Fresh_Start]

9. He could move to antarctica....it has no abortions

he can test whether the weather is perfect there.

7. Shut up, Barton you asshole

[sinkingfeeling]

8. Not what God's telling me. He said it's because people listen to

fake historians and 'preachers'.

[Duppers]

11. WTF?! You said it, NeoGreen...

The stupid, it burns.

[Gothmog]

12. David Barton is a joke and is not a historian or a scholar

[rurallib]

13. Got to quit watching the weather and watch Pat Robertson

to see if tomorrow will be nice or raining fire and brimstone.

Geez, no wonder that weather guy can never get it right.
