That Gov official has some nerve.
@xenoview: the government doesn't even have its own child vaccination program, but epidemics are God's punishment. Never ceases to amaze me to what degree of stupidity the believers are able to reach.
And of course that "sin" is SEXUAL:
"There is no way fornication will be so rampant and God will not send a disease that cannot be cured."
State Governor Abdulaziz Yari, State of Zamfara, Nigeria
What do you know! Ignorant religion and sexual neuroticism in yet another news headline! I think that makes the 4,827, 613,944th headline about religion and its inherent sexual neuroticism. Damn, do I ever wish humanity would snap out of their collective delusions. People are dying over there and they need effective governance, education and medical intervention, not bronze age ideology. That State Governor is guilty of criminal stupidity and the deaths of thousands.
Religion is bad for humanity. It makes people do stupid things in the name of religion.
God's punishment? Which god in particular? My favorite is Apollo ... or maybe Aquaman. Honestly, I can't decide.
We get to pick our own god?! Then I'm picking Aphrodite. That Yahweh character is a stupid dickhead, Allah is a pervert, and Jesus always wants to play sado masochistic games by always yelling "slap my other cheek!". They're the worst.
