Missives From the Reality-Based World
GREENSBERG, KANSAS — The tornado that struck here over the weekend and destroyed nearly all of this once-peaceful town, leaving more than a dozen dead, has been blamed on overabundance of prayer, heterosexual marriage and Jesus. “Look at places like San Francisco, Fire Island — or Calcutta or Tokyo,” said local pastor William “Jimmy” Throbnagel. “They didn’t […]
