Shlomo Benizri, of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish Shas Party, said the tremors had been caused by lawmaking that gave "legitimacy to sodomy".
Israel decriminalised homosexuality in 1988 and has since passed several laws recognising gay rights.
Two earthquakes shook the region last week and a further four struck in November and December.
Mr Benizri made his comments while addressing a committee of the Israeli parliament, or Knesset, about the country's readiness for earthquakes.
He called on lawmakers to stop "passing legislation on how to encourage homosexual activity in the state of Israel, which anyway brings about earthquakes".
Israeli court rulings in recent years have granted inheritance rights to gay couples and recognised same-sex marriages performed abroad.
Last week, Israel's attorney general ruled same-sex couples could adopt.
So *that's* why I feel the earth during sex. I always had this crazy notion that underneath the dirt and bedrock, hundreds of mile below the surface, that it all rested on giant rafts of solid rock that were floating on a sea of magma and molten rock. And when the pressure beneath those rafts cause them slide against one another, that *THAT* caused earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
I had no idea it was because I was getting cornholed in the back of some dark, sleazy bar on the other side of town. Why DC hasn't fallen apart yet has me completely mystified.
he made a post, almost certainly in reference to me, about being a 'hater'
This is a guy who embodies vitriolic hate, and that's his criticism of me? LOL. I'd care, but I can't have a reasonable conversation with him; he believes his science fiction like it's science fact. He missed his calling as a Scientologist to pursue those ideals of super-conservative-christianity.
He's a typical Republican/Fundie type, really. He wants to spew petty rhetoric but cries foul the minute you call him on his bullshit. Oh - and he's a big ol' fag. The party won't piss on him if he caught fire, but no matter - he swears allegiance to the GOP. Fuckin' idiot, that one.

Ah well, can't figure some folks out.
And for what it's worth, it was me and a friend, not me and a boyfriend or partner, setting off the Richter scale...
I dont really have very many friends in that position
hehe, double entendre ;-)
