A Chilean pastor said God sparked a massive forest fire in the coastal city of Valparaíso over the weekend in response to lawmakers’ consideration of a bill that would legalize civil unions for same-sex couples.

“The order is: Put an end to the civil unions bill. This will continue if the opposite is done,” Soto wrote in a message accompanying the photos.
