God's punishment

[davidinalameda]

Does anyone think that the all the hurricanes hitting the south and the tornados in the fly-over states are part of God's punishment for these people and their lifestyles

1. Nope

Actually this kinda talk kinda enrages me. I have had had certain familial tragedies. I will spare you the details because you don't care. However, did those tragedies happen because my family were bad? No, it happened because they were human. Give it a rest. And go to bed.

8. If, by God's punishment you mean

humans have fucked up the planet, and there really is a Hairy Thunderer God who will strike us down, yes, and no.
We have fucked up the ecosphere, and there is no hiry thunderer.

9. ROFL

Some years back when Pat Robertson was mad at Orlando for putting rainbow flags up for Pride Month, he said all this bad shit was going to happen there...I shit you not, he actually said a meteor would strike.

IIRC, that was one of the quietest hurricane seasons Florida ever had, and Hurricane Floyd tore Virginia Beach's shit up. I felt really bad for the sane residents of the area but I couldn't help but laugh at that. Karma got him but good.

14. no

My house was destroyed in a tropical event and I'm not a freeper. Get over it.

What part of "the rain falls on the just and the unjust alike" do you not understand? God doesn't punish in this world. This is why evil triumphs. Anyone who claims that God rewards in this world doesn't read the Bible, they are selling you a pantsload for their own profit.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
