When the California Supreme Court ruled in favor of marriage equality in 2008, one rabbi claimed that the sin of homosexuality is so egregious that it caused God in the times of Noah “to annihilate the world and start from the beginning.” The rabbi, who will be speaking at Glenn Beck’s upcoming Religious Right meeting, apparently is not alone in this view: yesterday, Pastor Aaron Fruh challenged American Family Radio listeners to “find any society in human history that ever tried that experiment and lived to tell about it, they’ve all been destroyed, because as [Chick-fil-A CEO] Dan Cathy said we’re shaking our fist into the face of God.”

“So when it comes to civilization and society, God knew that the people of the earth were going to destroy themselves through same-sex marriage,” Fruh said, “so that’s why he brought the flood.”
