I had a lady tell me that we have to respect what God is doing on

[JRLeft]

the east coast. She said she will pray for these people, but it is clear that the gay agenda is the reason for the storm. God is punishing people for pushing gay activity on America. I told her climate change not God is causing the massive storm. She scoffed at me and said ignoring the word of God will land yourself on hell. I told her to fuck herself and her God. I am tired of the religious right.

[Fresh_Start]

1. Ask her what the people on jupiter and neptune did to deserve

the major storms on their planet....
after all there is no gay agenda (that we know of on those planets).

[roguevalley]

44. she is an idiot using God to justify her hate. she is a sad sad person.

[Politicalboi]

2. Good for you

I'm tired of them too. They all think we should ALL be Christians and believe in their fantasy. And they scoff at science, which is proof and religion is just man and his brainwashing.

[JRLeft]

5. Oh I agree, but I tried to show respect towards her religious beliefs but she was determined

to pass off her dogma as fact.

[Carolina]

25. These kinds of people are not

Christians.

They are the antithesis of what Christ stood for and symbolized and they are the very reason for the saying:
The problem with Christianity is Christians!

[NCLefty]

3. I get that God made the storm and all

But where do they get off saying that it's punishment, and that they, among all humans, know the precise reason? I'm pretty sure the Bible also talks about false prophets.

Also, "that's no lady."

[JRLeft]

6. They believe God hates homosexuals.

[Angry Dragon]

4. Who needs a god that mean??

[JRLeft]

8. The Bible God is mean, but that argument belongs on the religious board.

[Angry Dragon]

11. then the OP belongs in the Religion Forum

I was just replying to the OP .........

[JRLeft]

12. I was talking about what I had just posted.

[Angry Dragon]

18. understood

[Downwinder]

7. It is God's punishment for allowing bigots.

[msongs]

9. whatta nice god to punish mostly christians who are not gay nt

[Indpndnt]

28. Right? I wonder what her rationalization will be when Obama wins re-election?

God can control the weather, but can't determine the outcome of an election? [url=http://www.cosgan.de/smilie.php][img][/img][/url]

[madrchsod]

10. you should have told her it was mother earth and she`s really mad at us...

nothing better than shoving "pagan religion" in her face...

[Bluenorthwest]

13. Which of her many gods does she mean? Republicans are now Mormon style

polytheists, who believe all males can evolve to be gods ourselves, so she needs to narrow it down a bit. The main god in human affairs lives on Kolob, a fictional planet. Is that the 'god' she means? Or does she mean Jesus, Satan's twin brother in the Mormopublican theology?
Like you, I now tell them to go fuck themselves. They never believed a word of their fucking affectation of a faith and that is clear from their embrace of the oogley boogley theology of their new leader.
Fuck them all, fuck Kolob, fuck them all.

[JRLeft]

20. I have no idea, but I am tired of them using religion as a bludgeoning tool.

[Arkansas Granny]

14. What in the world did these people use as reasons for natural disasters before

they hit upon the "gay agenda". Do they think that they didn't happen before?

[Lucinda]

15. Sin. They have lots of them to choose from.

[moobu2]

16. God always wants the same thing the believer wants

It's never the opposite or different.

[Arugula Latte]

17. Tell her that fundies' agenda caused the tornados in Joplin.

See what she says to that.

[moobu2]

19. Tell her San Francisco is having beautiful weather this fall

and is there some reason God hasn't smitten Gay Agenda Central?

[JRLeft]

23. I am expecting great weather for tomorrow's parade. The Giants won the world series so may be her

God isn't anti gay after all. I mean the Giants play in SF.

[stopbush]

21. Pretty good, but you left out two essential words: "make believe,'

as in, "fuck you and your make-believe god."

[JRLeft]

22. He is definitely a fictional character.

[nichomachus]

24. "Sorry, but your god is a very cruel god. How can you worship someone that evil?"

I can see how you'd be terrified of him, but how could you "love" him?

[JRLeft]

26. The republican God is always angry and ready to kill.

[lunatica]

27. You should always ask these nuts why God punishes innocent people for what gays do

Shouldn't he punish just those who are gay and who support Gays? Ask them if God himself has told them this. Ask them why God punishes children for the sins of others too, since obviously there are children in the God ravaged states.

Then tell them they should pray harder in case he decides to punish them for the sins of others.

These people don't make sense unless they think all the people in 15 states support gays.

[dodger501]

29. If what the lady said were true

Wouldn't God have leveled Europe by now?

[Tree-Hugger]

30. Why is it always the gays?

Why don't they say that God is sending these storms as punishment for raping the nice planet He gave us as a gift?

[JRLeft]

31. The paranoia over gay people is ridiculous. Religious groups need to get past

there fear over gay people. These people are hard working, caring, everyday like everyone else.

[Tree-Hugger]

36. It's so sad

that we need these discussions in 2012. We're supposed to be evolved. I can never wrap my mind around their hatred.

[Aristus]

32. Are tornados God's punishment against trailer trash?

Just asking.

Those fundy right-wing fuckholes never ask that question...

[nichomachus]

35. Heyyy - I live in a mobile home

[Aristus]

38. And your dwelling does not affect the weather, any more than does someone sexuality.

But these right-wing evangelicals never seem to be able to make the distinction. Weather happens. It rains on the just and the unjust, and not just on the just...

[reflection]

33. I think God is pissed at evangelicals for supoprting a Mormon. n/t

[GumboYaYa]

34. How does she explain the beautiful weather in California?

[csziggy]

37. Tell her that Sandy is Gawd's punishment for ignoring climate change

That makes a LOT more sense than the idea that some imaginary sky being would destroy the livelihood of thousands for a few people who have a biological preference for the same sex.

Stupid people have ignored the evidence for climate change / global warming that it may be too late to stop or even slow it. If there were a god or goddess they would be pissed that we have screwed up the world they created by abusing the resources we were given and not using our brains to manage our stewardship of the planet.

[MuttLikeMe]

39. What was her reaction when you told her to f*** herself?

Just curious.

[JRLeft]

42. She was stunned.

[onecent]

40. YOU did the RIGHT THING. That's totally insane. Who breeds these kinds of people????? n/t

[Scuba]

41. It's actually god punishing us for denying gays their civil rights. Sheeeze.

[surrealAmerican]

43. How does she know that ...

... we're not being punished for polluting the earth?

If you're going to believe a deity is punishing you, wouldn't you also believe that there's some sort of connection between the punishment and the crime?

[Michigan Alum]

45. I guess Mississippi, Texas, and the Florida Panhandle must be even more sinful....

Because that's where about 50x more hurricanes hit.

[world wide wally]

46. When you say "lady"... Are you using the term loosely?

I picture an older lady around 70 or so. They can be the most annoying of all when they talk like that, so I hope you didn't paraphrase your sentiment.

[JRLeft]

47. Middle aged lady in her mid 50's.
