SCARBOROUGH: Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, there are some out there that are saying that, like Jennifer just did, that God has used plagues, floods, earthquakes, natural disasters to punish people for sins. What is your take on that?I cut out some of the best bits (BOTEACH: Needer, Needer, Needer. GIROUX: I'm rubber and you're glue) so get yourself a beer, head over to Scar's website, and enjoy the fireworks.
RABBI SHMULEY BOTEACH, AUTHOR, “FACE YOUR FEAR”: You know, Joe, Jennifer Giroux is guilty of colossal blasphemy and even more colossal arrogance, blasphemy...
GIROUX: Rabbi, you have a selective memory of the Bible.
BOTEACH: Jennifer, God is not a terrorist. You sound like Osama bin Laden.
GIROUX: Do you believe God has ever sent natural disaster in the Old Testament? Has God ever sent natural disaster or plague as punishment to the people?
BOTEACH: Is that prophets can say that. You‘re not a prophet, Jennifer. You barely know the Bible.
