Tennessee-based televangelist Perry Stone posted a “Major Alert” on his Facebook page yesterday to issue a dramatic warning about a plan to fine and imprison pastors who “publically say that the gay lifestyle is a sin.”

Of course, Religious Right activists have been making this bogus claim for years , but Stone reports that this nonexistent bill to criminalize free speech “has the support [of] over 100 House members and numerous Senators.”

He warned that violence and natural disasters are coming to America as a result of the gay rights movement: “It is the days of Elijah all over again, where the Spirit of Jezebel is after the heads (voices) of the men of God. There is serious government persecution coming to all who stand for truth, and when the ‘left’ becomes violent, as did the men of Sodom against Lot, threatening to rape him for his rebuke of their iniquity, God will change the game and the United States hedge will be removed and catastrophic natural disasters will be unleased.”
