Pastors Kevin Swanson and Dave Buehner
have blamed passage of a civil unions law for forest fires which
threatened Colorado Springs, Colorado.
“Why Colorado Springs? Understand
that Colorado itself is a state that has been begging for God's
judgment,” Buehner said last week on Generations Radio.
“How did we do that? Well, we were the first state to make
abortion legal; you could murder your baby as long as it's in your
womb.”
“Our legislative session opened up
this year and their very first order of business, their most pressing
order of business ...” Buehner said.
“They could hardly wait, they could
hardly wait,” Swanson
said.
“Like the very first day, was to pass
a civil union bill, which is an uncivil bill.”
Referring to a photo of House Speaker
Mark Ferrandino and his partner Greg Wertsch sharing a kiss after
passage of the bill which appeared in the Denver Post, Swanson
added: “When you have a state where the House leadership is
performing a homosexual act on the front page of the Denver Post
two months ago? Does God read the Denver Post? Do you think
he picks up a copy of the Denver
Post? He gets it. God gets the Denver Post.”
“Colorado is asking for judgment and
God is delivering it in little pieces,” Buehner said. “But then
the question is: Of all of Colorado, why Colorado Springs? I mean,
Colorado Springs is the Christian mecca. Why not wipe out Boulder or
Denver? I mean those people are in more radical rebellion.”
“And the answer is: Judgment begins
in the House of God.”
Swanson added that God “hates it when
men are not manly in their approach.”
“I brought up androgyny and how many
young boys are running out and doing the metrosexual thing with the
skinny pants and the little fairy shoes,” he said. “They're
working on the gender blender for themselves and they don't want to
look like a man and God is just so upset.”
