The gay Jews stole my gender and now i have huge, beautiful, heaving tits, and a vagina.

"God is judging America because of the gays."

-- Fundies Who Like to Line Item Veto the Bible

Every once in a great while, I hear this phrase come out of someone's mouth and it takes every ounce of restraint to not whack the shit out of them. So, I think to myself, "What would Jesus do?" Then I remember that handing out a good flogging is a valid option.

Explanation: In the pre-modern, early modern, and industrial era of Western civilization (ie just about everything before WW2), it was extremely common to blame social unrest or natural disasters on the Jews or the Christian God punishing Christians for allowing the Jews to [checks notes]... exist.

Luckily, when the Jews weren't available as a scapegoat, for one reason or another, the gays were always an alternative target! Such as by the great and celebrated preacher John Chrysostom, who considered homosexuality worse than murder, and linked sexual immorality of cities with earthquakes which killed hundreds of people!

How... lovely.

I like the meme but I don't think Joshua Peck would approve.
