The Christian leader of an anti-gay Christian group who said that God sends natural disasters to punish gays has had his own Louisiana home flooded.
Tony Perkins, president of the controversial group, Family Research Council described the deluge as having "near biblical proportions".
During a broadcast on the group's radio Perkins called in from Louisiana and explained that he and his family had escaped his flooded home in a canoe.
Perkins, who had also claimed homosexuality is incompatible with evolution and has likened it to a drug or alcohol addiction. said that he and his family were now living off “God’s provisions,” and had relocated to their RV motor home.
During an interview last year, Perkins claimed that Hurricane Joaquin was a sign of God's wrath for legalising gay marriage.
