Huffington Post Wrote:Rick Wiles Claims Ebola Could 'Solve' Homosexuality And Other Issues In America
Forget the thousands of people whose lives are now horrendously affected by Ebola -- this man has managed to find a positive in the pain: God could use this disease to get rid of all the people He (supposedly) doesn't like!
Trunews talk show host Rick Wiles took to his radio program this week to spout off about what he views as the great "attitude adjustment" America so desperately needs: the Ebola virus. In the eyes of Wiles, this pandemic could be an instrument of God used to destroy everyone that He deems immoral and unfit, such as queer people, atheists and those who've had an abortion. The right-wing pundit stated:
"Now this Ebola epidemic can become a global pandemic and thats another name for plague. It may be the great attitude adjustment that I believe is coming. Ebola could solve Americas problems with atheism, homosexuality, sexual promiscuity, pornography and abortion. If Ebola becomes a global plague, you better make sure the blood of Jesus is upon you, you better make sure you have been marked by the angels so that you are protected by God. If not, you may be a candidate to meet the Grim Reaper."

But that'd be dropped by you. Clearly that's not the same as god going to town on the heathens that this particular guy doesn't like (and no one else, obviously).

I think he should go to Africa and preach to the infected. Help them repent and embrace Jesus before it's too late.
And if they should spit or bleed on him, well, he needn't worry about getting infected, right? He has been marked by angels and is protected by God.

The more people focus on the stupidity of people like Rick Wiles, the more attention he gets and the stronger his message becomes.

Lol, what? All it does is serve as an example of how crazy fundamentalists are, if anything the spreading of this absolutely DEMOLISHES any credibility he ever had.

I didn't even know the guy existed before this thread, and as an uninformed outsider I assumed he had no credibility to begin with to be demolished. Does it really take stupidity of this level to show how crazy fundamentalists are? Hasn't this happened again and again with other people? It's not ground breaking news when someone says something stupid.
This is all from my 'strayan perspective though.

...None of that actually addresses your point that this just makes his message stronger? I posted the video to demonstrate another source of what people think of this guys ridiculous perspective. That be like saying Ken Ham got enough attention to give his cult a stronger following, when it just created such incredible whiplash

Thing is, his target audience doesn't watch The Young Turks. Or any of the other media and social media channels that ridicule him.
His target audience is fundamentalists like him, who might not have heard of him before. But now they have, and are nodding in agreement to his words, and feeling he is quite brilliant and perfectly right.

They would have to have watched the news to hear about him, if they haven't already, and if they were to find out through that method then they would hear how bat-sh`it crazy he is

Yes, God could use Ebola to kill gay human beings. Along with straight human beings too. Yeah, there'd be a lot of collateral damage but if it gets rid of papayas, it's worth it.

I don't know why but as I read this I thought of people killing lambs to smear their blood on their front door.

You know how else you can be a candidate to meet the Grim Reaper? By living. So, by his logic, everyone who has "the blood of Jesus [upon them]," and has "been marked by the angels," is already dead. I can see that.
