Have you ever flown in a passenger jet?
Did you ever sit at the window and just stare in awe-struck wonder at the beauty, the vastness, the clouds, the water, the earth below you?

Did you ever notice as you gain altitude we lose sight of all humans. Not surprising, after all, we are small in the grand scheme of things.

But here's the kicker.....this asshole Pastor Hagee says something called "God" sent hurricane Katrina into New Orleans because there was a Gay Pride Parade and is believed by gullible fools who vote.

1. You would think if God was intervening in human affairs
Maybe he would take out all those "evildoers" in the mid-east who don't agree with Hagee. Or is God a one-issue kind of guy? He hates gay people so much he'll take out an entire city to prevent a gay pride parade. Yeah, that probably explains it.




Just in case it's not completely obvious:
:sarcasm:

6. the whole notion is absurd. Not just about steering a hurricane but anything like it.
If there is a God, and I have my doubts, I doubt he's concerned about what people are doing in their bedrooms considering he/she/it has an entire universe to care for

3. 'God' so loves the world...
well, only SOME of us...apparently....

where do these fundy a-holes come from?

i guess their followers prove that they are the epitome of someone 'preaching to the choir'...

4. God has better eyesight than you do.
He knows who's been naughty and who's been nice.

No, wait -- that's Santa Claus.

12. GREAT slide show.
And that's just a sampling of OUR rather insignificant galaxy. I wonder what else might be out there in the hundred billion OTHER galaxies.

8. I'm the guy in the left front seat and I seldom bother to look out the window.
It all looks the same after 40 years. ;-)

9. I think there is this thing in the Universe called free will.. People have the
free will to choose their paths. Unfortunately, there are 2% of the population manipulating the free-will of the rest of the people.. Otherwise, people's religions would not have been hi-jacked and we would never have let wars, famine, or natural disasters interfere with our human compassion.

13. Always remember: if something bad happens to you...
...it's because God's mad at you for not being mean enough to homosexuals lately.
