That's not very widespread - it's very widely reported, but it's a small 
number of high-profile nutjobs who make comments like this.

I've met exactly one person who wasn't in a high-profile position who 
claimed that about the SLC tornado that took place - and after calmly 
informing him that if the tornado was caused by God's anger over a gay 
bar in SLC (seriously, he did believe that), then God missed, because he 
killed some innocent people setting up for an outdoor retailers 
convention and left the bar in question completely unscathed.

Then we fired him (he is a contractor who we had used for years to clean 
our chimney and do various minor roof repairs).
