Why it happened

Lewis Black reveals the whackjob underbelly of the religious right:

Jerry Falwell said that the reason that September 11th happened, the reason that God allowed it to happen, was because of certain people in our country. People like, and I’m quoting, ‘the pagans,’ which is a motorcycle group. Feminists; he brought up feminists. He used the word even. ‘God,’ I thought, ‘I haven’t heard that word in a while. Did he really think it was feminists? Is that what upset God? That women, a number of years ago, had decided to leave the kitchen, and enter the work place, and demand equal wages, and demand power equal to a man? That’s what upset God? That God looked down into the kitchen, and there was not a stew on the oven and the spice rack was in disarray, and He said, ‘I will SMOTE them!’ And I couldn’t believe it, he said that God had actually talked to him and said, these were the people. That was the reason. It was those people, and that was the reason God allowed this to happen. And I thought, ‘That’s odd.’ Because God had called me 12 hours before, and he said, the reason he was upset was because of people like Jerry Falwell.
