Balkan floods caused by Eurovision winner
From The Daily Telegraph:
''Conchita Wurst is responsible for flooding that left over 50 people dead earlier this month, church leaders in the Balkans have claimed.
The Austrian drag artist, whose real name is Thomas Neuwirth, seized international attention after winning Eurovision 2014 with his hit Rise Like a Phoenix.
However, several church leaders have now claimed the recent devastating flooding across the Balkans, which was the worst in a century and left over 50 people dead, was "divine punishment" for Conchita's victory.
Patriarch Irinej, the spiritual leader of Eastern Orthodox Serbs, reportedly said the floods were "divine punishment for their vices" and that "God is thus washing Serbia of its sins".

This isn't of course the first time that natural disasters have been blamed on people some might disapprove of. For instance, back in 2005, Maurice Mills from our very own DUP informed us that Hurricane Katrina was sent by God to punish the gay community in New Orleans.
My question is why do reasonably educated people listen to this nonsense and more to the point continue to attend / vote for / support organisations who insist on living in the middle ages?
