RABBI BLAMES GAYS FOR US EARTHQUAKE
A prominent anti-gay Rabbi in the US has blamed this week’s East Coast earthquake on “transgressions of homosexuality”.
Rabbi Yehuda Levin, who is an ally of the National Organization for Marriage – a US group opposing marriage equality, made the comment in a video posted online.
“We saw today an earthquake. The Jerusalem Talmud tells us that one of the reasons that God brings earthquakes to the world is because of the transgressions of homosexuality,” he said.
“The Talmud states, ‘You have shaken your male member in a place where it doesn’t belong. I too, will shake the earth,'” he said.
The video was subsequently removed from YouTube for violating the site’s policy “prohibiting hate speech”.
Last month, in a similar video, Rabbi Levin said that the murder of an eight-year old-boy, Leiby Kletzky, by a former security guard came about because Jewish society had done nothing to stop the legalisation of same-sex marriage in the state of New York.
“…first [gays] wanted rights, then they wanted adoption, they wanted special protections, and ultimately they wanted marriage – and we all know that we did precious little.
“This came in the very aftermath of the marriage bill, my dear friends, and not doing anything,” he said at the time.
Levin is the Rabbi and founder of the Congregation Mevakshei Hashem Synagogue in the Flatbush neighbourhood of Brooklyn, New York.
Oh get over yourself you religious zealot scum !
Oh now we have a Jewish Malema…. and for info, what gives you the right to get all the things that Gay people cant have. And as far as I know the BIBLE also say do not judge or point fingers… that is also a sin is it not…. Dum Fuck.
The Rabbi has a right to express his viewpoints freely, and we homos have to accept that without all the vicious name-calling so characteristic of a subgroup of gays. Instead of calling him, and others like him, “dum-fucks, etc., it is time we engaged our clerics in a calm, reasonable manner. Unfortunately, most of us don’t know enough about religion to argue rationally with these people, so we resort to these vicious, pathetic, hate-filled epithets. Sad, very sad!!!
Well, just look at the guy. LOL, who would believe that face anyway. Is that the face of truth and reason? Sometimes it is better to just step over the dog poo on the pavement
Unfortunately you cannot debate rationally with such people as the belief system is anything but rational.
However, if that what makes him
America has very wide tolerance of freedom of speach. If that what makes him happy so be it. The issue should be whether he is committing hate speach or encouraging violence. The guidelines for crossing that line are well thought through. I rather just feel sorry for such a character.
You have shaken your male member in a place where it doesn’t belong.” – big lols to that.
What a poes!!
Shame, this man’s god is ruthless…he gave his people freedom of choice and then punishes them for acting on that choice. That’s sad 🙁
