of course, nobody should be surprised that when a natural disaster occurs, the usual suspects jump on the bandwagon to explain why it proves their wacky theologies and that G!D Is Having a good old Smite at people of whom they disapprove or, alternatively, that it’s all part of the dastardly plans of the illuminati or reptilian space overlords.
a reptilian overlord yesterday
anyway, we’ve had boobquake, gayquake and immorality-inspired flooding so, predictably, our new icelandic friend eyjafjallajökull has been pressed into surface for this purpose, proving variously that:
1. we should never have turned on that large hadron collider
2. iceland is being too tolerant of neo-paganism and europe of gay rights
3. G!D Disapproves of “obamacare”
4. people are having a go at the pope
5. aliens (or satan) are doing space paintings with ufos
6. G!D Disapproves of the british advertising standards authority ruling that the israeli tourist board can’t show the western wall as part of israel, because they’ve never taken the trouble to annex the Temple mount.
and my personal favourite:
7. the iron core engine of the planet is today becoming reenergized by the huge magnetic force field of the incoming twin binary dark star to our solar system (called “nibiru” in ancient sumer, or “nemesis the destroyer”)
personally, my money’s on deepak chopra’s laxatives.
