Don’t blame eclipses on President Obama [View all]

One year ago this week, a far-right website popular with some conservatives called WorldNetDaily published an unexpected piece about a lunar eclipse. A right-wing pastor named Mark Biltz told WND that the recently witnessed blood moon – in which Earth’s shadow completely covers the moon – is actually a divine warning against President Obama’s executive actions.

A year later, just in time for another lunar eclipse, WorldNetDaily is back, as is Mark Biltz, and this year, there’s a whole new explanation.
Biltz, reliably, tied the [blood moon] to the nuclear deal with Iran, telling WND that the eclipse was a message from God likening President Obama to the biblical figure Haman, who plotted to kill all the Jews in Persia:
The pastor insisted that developments intended to curtail Iran’s nuclear programs are “totally tied to these Blood Moons.”

Magical thinking from actual adults.... with zero inkling about our solar system, the moon, and reality. Fear mongering.


Religion is ridiculous.
