Simple? Perhaps. But as I recall, there were similar statements made by our own American simpletons (who just happen to hold sway with our current Administration) with regard to 9/11:
'God Will Not Be Mocked'
The comments came as Falwell was appearing as a guest on Robertson's daily 700 Club program. Both expressed their sorrow and outrage over the attacks and advocated a strong response to the terror. Then Falwell elaborated on who, in addition to the terrorists who perpetrated the attacks, was responsible for them.
God, he told Robertson, had protected America "wonderfully these 225 years. And since 1812, this is the first time that we've been attacked on our soil and by far the worst results.
"Throwing God out successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools," he said. "The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad.
"[T]he pagans and the abortionists and the feminists and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way — all of them who have tried to secularize America," Falwell continued, "I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'"
What excuse do our own brand of nuts have for such superstitious bullshit? At least the fundamentalist Muslims can blame their simplemindedness on the fact that they're not exposed to education, progress and technology. Falwell and Robertson had the benefit of growing up in a country where those things are freely accessible to everyone who wishes to take advantage of them -- and yet they cling to superstition. So who's more simple, then?
