Everyone has the right to express their religious beliefs, right?

Definitely – but what happens when those tainted with bigotry and homophobic fundamentalist beliefs are welcomed and supported by members of a supposedly secular state?

Well, then, that’s when we need to re-evaluate what’s what.

On Friday, the man who claims “homosexuality is a disease” and that “women should submit to men” spoke at Parliament in Cape Town, and made yet another outlandish claim.

Angus Buchan, “God’s favourite homophobe”, not only prayed for “spiritual and physical rain”, but also announced that “Cape Town dams would be full by March,” explains Tom Eaton in a brilliantly sarcastic piece layered with religious undertones on Times LIVE:

[Angus] didn’t mention that such a miracle would require about a trillion litres of water to fall from the sky over the next 17 weeks, but then again, no snake-oil salesman ever got poor by sidestepping facts and figures.

Besides, if God could do it to Noah, why not Cape Town, with all those sodomites gallivanting all over the place?

Love it.

And get this, according to News24:

His prayer followed shortly after he alleged that a woman rose from the dead after he prayed for her.

And people think African witch doctors are crazy.

The event was organised by several Christian organisations and the ACDP with the purpose to “foster unity, with white people praying for forgiveness for what whites have done to blacks, and vice versa”. In the crowd was a “gathering of politicians, their wives and, somewhat comically, alleged pop star Heinz Winckler”.

All I can say is that if the dams are full by March next year, then so help me God. We just might be forced to listen to Buchan on loud speaker all day, son.

And eat his potatoes, too.
