The Eastern seaboard may have yet to experience the full wrath of Hurricane Sandy, but one right-wing Christian preacher is already pointing the finger at the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community.

In a wordy and occasionally rambling blog on his website, chaplain John McTernan seems to link Hurricane Sandy (and a number of other recent weather-related trends and natural disasters) on LGBT people and President Barack Obama's recent backing of marriage equality. While most of McTernan's wrath is directed at Obama, he has some choice words for GOP candidate Mitt Romney, too.

"God is systematically destroying America," McTernan writes. "Just look at what has happened this year."

Calling Sandy "the most powerful hurricane on record" that "could do catastrophic damage to the entire Northeast," McTernan adds, "Obama is 100 percent behind the Muslim Brotherhood which has vowed to destroy Israel and take Jerusalem. Both candidates are pro-homosexual and are behind the homosexual agenda. America is under political judgment and the church does not know it!"

In a second blog titled "Hurricane Sandy and the Election," he said of Romney, "Yes, he is a big time pro-homosexual supporter to the point he will keep open homosexuality in the military; he wants homosexuals in the Boy Scouts; and he wants more open homosexuals in the Republican Party."

Earlier this year, McTernan similarly linked Hurricane Isaac with the LGBT community, pointing to the fact that the life-threatening storm coincided with Southern Decadence, New Orleans' "Gay Mardi Gras."

Other choice words of the preacher include the following:

"Both candidates are pro-homosexual and are behind the homosexual agenda. America is under political judgment and the church does not know it!"

"Do you think that a pro-homosexual Mormon that wants to divide Israel,as he said during the last debate, is going to be blessed by God? Come on,as it is time to repent before the Lord for who has been raised up to run for president. America is under political judgment. Romney is a curse on America just as was Obama."

"Homosexual “marriage” is a mockery of real marriage between a man and woman. If the church will not defend marriage, then the Holy God of Israel will by judging that nation. This is exactly what is happening to America. Mock all you want the judgments are now falling like rain all around us. I suggest that you repent of your and trust in Jesus Christ as your Savior while you still have time."
