Is the pandemic a punishment from God?

[leftyladyfrommo]

We have been too bad and done too much damage. Now we might just all get wiped out.

Actually, there might be some truth to that. I really believe that if we do enough damage to this earth that the earth will begin to correct that damage. And those corrections could be really detrimental to the human race. And we probably deserve it.

1. You subbing for Pat Robertson?

Just askin ;)

4. Naw - He Doesn't Like Me.

But I wouldn't be surprised to hear him make a statement like that.

God hates Africa so He is sending a pandemic.

2. God. Hates. BIRDS!

they have sinned against him.
(they possibly remind him of homosexuals?)

[genie_weenie]

9. God does hate birds

because birds disprove his existence. Since, birds descended from Dinosaurs and the bible only contains a baloney reference to behemoths, dinosaurs and the time table needed to have them "walk the earth" prove the bible wrong, thereby disproving God. QED.

12. Nope

Evolution is EVIDENCE of God. God likes to party. Evolution is one big long-ass party. God is having a great time watching us dumbasses exercise our free will as we relentlessly evolve. I'm sure God wishes we would do a little better.

5. No.....this is not the first pandemic nor will it be the last....

History is always a good indicator of how these pandemics run..it will run it's course...how many people will be infected and survive or die......who knows...

There was the Influenza Pandemic of 1918.....

6. ya right......

god doesn`t need to punish us because we do a pretty good job all by ourselves

[dysfunctional press]

7. no. there is no god.

and the sooner the weak-minded members of the human race realize this- and realize that we are responsible for our own planetary "salvation", and not some mythical inter-galactic feel-good deity, the better.
although it's probably already too late to do anything about global warming.

8. I wish we would realize we are responsible for all of the

slaughter around the globe. And not blame it on some poor god.

10. What pandemic?? Did I miss something?

Cause I look at the data every single day and so far, nothing. :shrug:

[TallahasseeGrannie]

11. What pandemic?

[texastoast]

13. Big-ass epidemic

Like worldwide.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

17. But do you really think it is going to happen?

I ask because I still have my flock of chickens that I need to deal with. Jeb Bush said Florida will be first, and we all know that he has three PhDs in epidemiology!

My son, who works in EMS planning said that the biggest problem if we have interruption of services will be folks unable to get their medications. I know that personally I take a blood pressure med that if I don't take it I get massive high bp rebound and my heart goes baZoinky. (medical term)

There, now I've added a little flame to the panic fire.

15. Another "what pandemic" here

What have I missed? :shrug:

[WinkyDink]

16. Well, that would put the kibosh on that "Benevolent" thing.

[SoCalDem]

18. Nope.. Just a natural occurrence

Occasionally throughout history, Mother Nature "shrugs off" some of us..

19. where's the gawdamn pandemic?

If I were a chicken in china I'd be really worried,

but what pandemic?
