The Japanese quake/tsunami was sent by God himself as punishment. Atheists, will you take heed?

It's quite obvious that the quake/tsunami was punishment, brought down by God himself. His anger at atheistic Japan is apparent, even a moron can see that. Atheists, will you take this warning that God has sent? He sent this warning because he loves you. He loves all his creations and wants everyone on Earth to love him. You have been warned.

1. That might be how they see it.

It could have been God that prepared them for earth quakes with good regulation and a good social system.


Why would you think God would want to hurt them? Who is the God of the people that would think that anyways?

I think God wants to share love and protection with people.

Is that really the best such a group can think?

They were prepared is how I see it. Strong buildings, strong society.

2. Clearly morons see that.

20. A moron says "What?"

:P

3. don't give the Kansas nutbags any ideas... nt

[uppityperson]

4. There are DU posts as bad.

[Adsos Letter]

5. "...wants everyone on Earth to love him."

so he sends a super-destructive earthquake on Japan (whose people he, apparently, does not wish to have love him).

Some serious cognitive dissonance on their part... except that they don't seem to feel the discomfort associated with it.

14. One must first have cognition

before one can have cognitive dissonance. That pretty much leaves the talibangelicals on four flat tires, epistemologically speaking.

18. Maybe what she tried to say was

God hates Japan but loves America, so he demolished them to give us a warning.

6. Why can't they just acknowledge that often times, the chaos of nature is indifferent to humanty?

I don't see why that's so difficult. Even in completely human affairs, innocent people die, like babies being shot by stray bullets in drive by shootings.

[Angry Dragon]

7. I always thought love was suppose to be freely given

But here they say they have a god that will punish us if we do love them.
Sounds like an abusive relationship and so why would we want to love a god like that??

[arcane1]

8. Their god sounds like a real asshole n/t

[Warren DeMontague]

9. Which is really not all that different than "Mother Earth is angry and trying to shake us off"

Same bullshit, different wrapper.

[AngryOldDem]

10. For God so loved the world...

...that he brought a massive and powerful earthquake that may, when it's all said and done, bring death to thousands.

I love the cognitive dissonance that passes for religion these days.

WARNING: GOD LOVES YOU.

11. Pathetic idiots

[hifiguy]

12. If the stupidity and supersition of the fundies

was petroleum, gasoline would be a dime a gallon.

Their "god" if it existed, could only be classified as a psychopathic idiot.

rAmen.

[sinkingfeeling]

13. Please gawd take them now. Rapture them all away. Give the rest of us peace.

[peopleb4money]

15. I don' believe they're atheists.

I think a lot of them believe there's a kind of soul or living essence within everything. This goes back to their Shinto origins, where they believe kami, or spirits, are existent within everything, including inanimate objects like rocks and mountains. A lot of them might not even believe in a personal God, but my impression is that the majority of religious sentient in Japan isn't completely in agreement with the monist materialist atheism of Western philosophy.

[NeedleCast]

16. That looks more like a Poe/Troll than a real fundie

But yeah, they're going to be at it hot and heavy for a few weeks. WBC going to get involved too.

[kestrel91316]

17. Like an abusive spouse, this loving "god" murders those who displease him.

[Atman]

19. They might be on to something...Japanese porn is pretty twisted.

Just kidding! Totally, just kidding. Except about the twisted Japanese porn part.

[BobbyBoring]

21. I wish there really was a hell

So these people could go there!

[KamaAina]

22. So apparently their god is at least a bit miffed with Arkansas

the Gold Buckle on the Bible Belt. :eyes:

The central Arkansas town of Greenbrier has been plagued for months by hundreds of small earthquakes, and after being woken up by the largest quake to hit the state in 35 years, residents said Monday they're unsettled by the increasing severity and lack of warning.

The U.S. Geological Survey recorded the quake at 11 p.m. Sunday, centered just northeast of Greenbrier, about 40 miles north of Little Rock. It was the largest of more than 800 quakes to strike the area since September in what is now being called the Guy-Greenbrier earthquake swarm.

23. Quote I heard in Japan

During a business trip, right after the Kobe quake in 1995. Which was almost exactly one year after the Northridge quake in Los Angeles...epicentered about 2.5 miles from my house...

The quote: "Half of the Japanese are Shinto. Half are Buddhist. And the other half have no religion at all."

(When quoted before - inevitably some humorless, anal-retentive nitpicker will point out that the math doesn't add up. Note: THAT'S THE POINT OF THE JOKE!

And just to make it more confuzzling - half the Japanese are probably Shinto and Buddhist simultaneously.)

24. I'm sure

a flea fight would give them the same idea.........what a bunch of idiots!
Rapture them all now............give the rest of us some relief!
