    "Israeli MP blames quakes on gays "

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7255657.stm

    An Israeli MP has blamed parliament's tolerance of gays for earthquakes that have rocked the Holy Land recently.

    Shlomo Benizri, of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish Shas Party, said the tremors had been caused by lawmaking that gave "legitimacy to sodomy".

    Israel decriminalised homosexuality in 1988 and has since passed several laws recognising gay rights.

    Two earthquakes shook the region last week and a further four struck in November and December.

    Adoption

    Mr Benizri made his comments while addressing a committee of the Israeli parliament, or Knesset, about the country's readiness for earthquakes.

    He called on lawmakers to stop "passing legislation on how to encourage homosexual activity in the state of Israel, which anyway brings about earthquakes".

    Israeli court rulings in recent years have granted inheritance rights to gay couples and recognised same-sex marriages performed abroad.

    Last week, Israel's attorney general ruled same-sex couples could adopt.

    I can't wait until secularism engulfs the world and religion becomes a thing of the passed, just like worshiping Zeus and all the other gods of the sun, lightning, etc. Ridiculous...Religion has caused more harm than good in the world...
