A website that claims Christchurch's devastating earthquake was an act of God triggered by the tolerance of homosexual behaviour in the city has been denounced as ''despicable and appalling'' by New Zealand's gay and lesbian community.

The website ''Christchurch Quake'' - registered on September 20 to an address in Utah in the USA - suggests the destruction was a result of ''lesbians running loose on the South Island as if they own the place'' and general ''amoral'' behaviour.

Among other inflammatory accusations, the website alleges that the earlier September earthquake, which coincided with the start of Gay Ski Week in Queenstown, was a warning from God to ''End the Evil - or else!''.

    :lol:


    but on a serious note, it's people like this that make me sick
    they just need to blame someone
    to be judgmental and cause hatred and force their views on people
    if god's all about love (and i don't want to cause offence or anything) then why would god want to kill his/her own people? take away innocent lives?
    why would god allow homosexuality to occur if he/she has such a huge problem with it, so much so that they would kill people


    okay rant over

    i doubt the westboro church could find its collective arse with both hands so the chances of them being able to even find christchurch are pretty slim i reckon

  • Why doesn't an Earthquake ever hit these people, there's an act of god i can get behind.

    They do, and then another group of people show up saying they all got into heaven for their intolerance of gay people and that we've all been left behind.

    Except the two parts that were least damaged were the gay area and the French area.

    I talked to a gay person respectively the other day and God gave me some pretty bad indigestion after that..

    But God is known to be a prick, so I wasn't surprised.

    i can't be bothered reading that article because i've seen the website. i heard it was taken down for breaching TOS. anyway, the more attention it got, the more money they probably made from ad click throughs.

    let's not lose sight of the fact that thousands of cantabrians are suffering right now, some still without water, power and functioning sewerage systems

    and the death toll stands at around 150 people from 20 different countries, expceted to rise to about 200 once the bodies are fully recovered

    perhaps we could refrain from the jokes and smiley laughey emoticons for a little while when the thread topic is still so raw for some of us

    I mean no offence and understand the ridiculous nature of the topic the original post is about

    thanks
  • LoulouLoulou Adelaide Posts: 6,247
    I just want to say I'm sorry, I just think those people who say things like that are utterly heartless and ridiculous and I apologize if I upset you, that was by no means my objective.

    hey thanks, I wasn't aiming it at anyone, i guess I just get upset about the earthquake so easily, and I haven't been affected nearly as bad as those who lost loved ones. I'm a bit touchy about it. We're still learning how to deal with such a tragedy, and I saw this thread just after I had spent two minutes in silence along with the rest of NZ in respect for those who have died...and after learning that some of the victims are so badly injured that they may never be identified...it just didn't seem right to me to come accross a thread which is related to the earthquake with so many flippant jokes and those bloody little laughing facey things. like I said, emotions running high. thank you very much for your kind response, I hoped no one was going to take anything the wrong way

    I am very lucky to have never experienced anything so horrific and could never understand what you guys have gone through. My hubby and I visited Christchuch in 2009 to see PJ and it's just so sad to see that beautiful city in such devastation. Our view from our hotel room was overlooking a building with a little burgundy, round, turret on top of it (not sure what it's called, sorry) and to see that same massive burgundy top on the ground and upside down absolutely shocked the hell out of me! The way you guys have come together though has amazed the rest of the world and your country truely has some damn heroic people. Once again, I'm sorry and please forgive this silly Adelaidian, she meant no harm and I love your country.
