Bakker: Eclipse is God’s Punishment for Obama Years

Source: The Business Standard News


By Piper Blackmun

Televangelist and survivalist Jim Bakker has blamed the impending lunar eclipse on President Barack Obama.

“God came to me in a dream and said I should tell the world that I am plunging the world into darkness to remind people I’m still mad at the Obama years,” said Bakker on his online radio show. “Obama legalized witchcraft, sexual deviants getting married and schools started teaching transgenderism.”

Bakker said it would take eight years of Donald Trump for America to “get right with God.”

Bakker isn’t the only Evangelical Christian who is misinterpreting an astronomical phenomenon as a religious sign. Anne Graham Loetz, daughter of famed preacher Billy Graham, said the eclipse was a sign of impending doom. Franklin Graham, Loetz’s brother, has frequently accused President Barack Obama of being a Muslim.

10. About: The Business Standard News is a satirical site...

designed to parody the 24-hour news cycle. The stories are outlandish, but reality is so strange nowadays they could be true.

(I had to look to be sure)

19. An eclipse is a natural phenomenon that can be predicted.

Jim Bakker and the spawn of Billy Graham are punishments from God!!!

[SwissTony]

20. How come God only "works" on the US?

Is there no "sinning" in other countries? Over here in The Netherlands, we've had same-sex marriage for years. It's a complete non-issue. Not going to church is a complete non-issue. Not believing in God is...well, you get the picture.

But according to Bakker and his idiot friends, God only punishes the US.

I don't get it.

Enjoy the eclipse, good people. We won't get it here, so I'm a little bit jealous.

21. Hilarious for that hypocrite to talk about "sexual deviancy"

HE was a disgust POS who cheated on his wife...and that is the LEAST of what he did.
