Anti-gay pastor Rick Scarborough–who back in July promised to set himself on fire if same-sex marriage became legal–has said that AIDS is God's judgement on sin.
He also claimed that a cure for AIDS would be found by “some sharp probably Christian or Jewish researcher” if the U.S. repented for tolerating homosexuality.

Right Wing Watch notes that Scarborough–who later back-tracked on his promise of self-immolation–was speaking at a “Prayer For Our Warriors Conference” at Harvest Christian Fellowship in Arizona.
Playing the victim card, he added that gay rights groups have “subverted the truth” by attacking “those of us who stand for God and country without apology.”
Back in 2014, rabid Scarborough said that god should punish the U.S. because Barack Obama appoints gay ambassadors.
