Where are those that thought the California wildfires last year were due to gays being allowed to marry?

I remember seeing a lot of questions last year like this one:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhTRu...

Now that proposition 8 has passed in California and they are having more wildfires, what do those who said God was punishing California for allowing gays to marry have to say?

Update:

Natural disasters have happened throughout history. To say that God is punishing a certain group by creating a natural disaster is utterly ridiculous.

    It's funny, but I had the exact same thought about 10 minutes ago. Those people seem very quiet on the subject. They also never explained the lack of natural disasters in places where gay marriage is currently accepted.

    Their new lie is that god is punishing California for helping to elect Obama! Fundamentalist Christians have been 'using' God...as an excuse for their own homophobia and bigotry for two thousand years. That is never going to change.

    Which is a GOOD thing. It keeps the ridiculous aspect of their 'beliefs' in the public eye.

    The fact that they and their candidates have been 'soundly' defeated in almost every 'election' in the country is a good sign that America is FINALLY fed up with the attempts of Fundies and other right wing radicals like Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Elizabeth Dole and a host of other bible belters, to take over our country and turn it into another Iran or Saudi Arabia, with 'mad clerics' in charge, and laws derived from the Archaic nonsense of the Old Testament.

    Edit

    'lost in darkness':

    You certainly ARE!! But the best way out of that darkness is simply to OPEN YOUR EYES!!!!

    I read someone said that environmentalists not allowing loggers to go in and clear out excess trees was the problem. It sounded good to me. With deadwood out of the way and no overcrowding of trees is supposed to solve the problem

    Crazy things, tragic things and death happen EVERY SINGLE DAY.

    Plenty of bad things have happened around Christmas, Jesus's birthday. Plenty of things have happened on the Pope's birthday.

    People love to only see the evidence that supports their beliefs and disregard anything that doesn't fit in that schema.

    Wow! The answers you are receiving.

    So much hate and so much fear these days, and much of it is blamed on "God".

    I find it very interesting and very, very sad that those who profess to follow Jesus, would even think this way for a second.

    Yeah yeah...and 9-11 was the gays fault, and Hurricane Katrina, and Pearl Harbor, and ....every other sad event in history. Most sane people write off anyone who says such stupid things.

    God has already made it clear what sinful choices are. No one has the right to say what He would or would not do about disobedience, but, we can notice what He has done--and He has done something big.

    Oh I'm sure they will still find a way to blame it on us. It's funny to me how they use arguments like that, where their god is made to look horrible and bigoted, then they try to tell us that we need to convert to their religion.

    Yeah, real sound logic there. "My god's a total @sshole. You should sooooo worship him."

    The reason these fires are going up is because of where our planet is in the cosmos as we enter the center of the milky way galaxy and the energy that is vibrating on this earth is increasing at a greater rate and will until the end of 2012

    Nothing to fear, as this is a phase that has to happen

    Peace, love and light

    The forces of nature are much stronger than man. Man must repent of their sins and pay for them in the flesh, and those who don't walk away from their sinful lifestyles and repent will not be spared and will face God's wrath. God is in control.
