1 / 6 Aurora Shooting, July 20

After a gunman opened fire in a Colorado movie theater in July, <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/aurora-shooting-movie-theater-batman_n_1688547">killing 12 people and wounding 71</a>, American Family Association news director Fred Jackson declared the massacre God's reaction to increasing acceptance of gays. He <a href="http://blogs.phillymag.com/gphilly/2012/07/23/gays-blamed-colorado-shooting/">said on his radio show</a>: “I think the sources of this is multifaceted but you can put it all I think under the heading of rebellion to God, a rejection of the God of the Bible. … We’ve been dealing Teddy and I know the AFA Journal has been dealing with denominations that no longer believe in the God of the Bible, they no longer believe that Jesus is the only way of salvation, they teach that God is okay with homosexuality, this is just increasing more and more. It is mankind shaking its fist at the authority of God.”
