Another Facepalm-Worthy Congressional Nominee For The U.S.

A Republican candidate who believes that God dictates weather patterns and that tornadoes, autism and dementia are God's punishments for marriage equality and abortion access won the GOP nomination to challenge Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) in the Chicago-area 9th Congressional District.

 

She blamed natural disasters and mental disorders on recent advances in LGBT equality and legal abortions.

"God is angry. We are provoking him with abortions and same-sex marriage and civil unions," she said. "Same-sex activity is going to increase AIDS. If it's in our military, it will weaken our military. We need to respect God."

 

Atanus also reached out to the Windy City Times, an LGBT publication, in an attempt to explain her views.

 

"Everybody knows that God controls weather," she told the news site in January. "God is super angry," she added. "Gay marriage is not appropriate, and it doesn't look right, and it breeds AIDS."

Please, if any of you can vote in Illinois, don't let this stupidity become our congressperson. We've already got enough of a political crisis, don't make it worse.

I respect those who have faith in their religion but this is too far.  Show me some proof that this is God's punishment and I'll vote for you all day.

Is it really that ridiculous to suggest that God could conceivably have influence over the weather?

This.  I respect my religious friends for being faithful but open minded and intelligent.  What this person is doing is laughable.

Indeed.

Far too many people in this world use religion as an excuse for propogating prejudice and discrimination. It's disgusting.

Not at all, what she believes is her right. However, her views on other issues (namely LGBT) lessen the value of others' lives, and as such shouldn't have any legitimate place in politics

Most of the time, yup.

At such a time as the education system in our countries are up to scratch, I foresee views like this becoming exceedingly rare. Let's hope things improve.

I find it ironic that she looks like a lesbian.

What does a lesbian look like.  I need to know as I may be one (trapped in a man's body but a Lesbian none the less). ;)
