What was sad to see was what I thought was a uniquely American phenomenon of politicizing a natural (or man made and criminal) disaster.
Quote:
The Catch the Fire Ministries has tried to blame the bushfires disaster on laws decriminalising abortion in Victoria.
The evangelical church's leader, Pastor Danny Nalliah, claimed he had a dream about raging fires on October 21 last year and that he woke with "a flash from the Spirit of God: that His conditional protection has been removed from the nation of Australia, in particular Victoria, for approving the slaughter of innocent children in the womb".

Shades of Pat Robertson blaming Katrina on the hedonists in New Orleans or Jerry Falwell blaming 9/11 on gays/lesbians, secularists and the ACLU.
