Glenn Beck: Earthquake is a Message From God!
:silly: :wtf: :puke:

Beck's comment is the latest in a long line of religious zealots pointing to various natural disasters as evidence of God's displeasure with humanity.

into that addled brain would cause some serious asplosions.

Kind of like tossing a mento into a bottle of cola.

4. God botherers always say that shit
and sensible people know enough to ignore it.

The problem is that sensible people seem to be in short supply.

6. Geez, you'd think God would have an I-Phone by now
Let's hope God isn't an American Idol fan. He might be pulling really hard for Crystal and if she doesn't survive to the finals somebody is gonna pay big time!

10. The message is "Fuck you". Same as always.
"God" has a little 'rain man' in him/her/it/whatever.

to the working poor and citizens who have been robbed by RW policies over the years.

24. I think you're right
This is clearly God's reaction to Gov. Walker in Wisconsin, and the shenanigans of the Republican-controlled Senate. Even a cursory reading of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Amos, and Micah in the Hebrew Testament and the gospels as well as the letters of Paul, the Pauline letters and the Johannine letters in the Christian Testament would inform even the most casual reader about the proper function of society, and the obligations of the well-off toward the poor.

I'm sure that's what Glenn (the extra "n" is for "knowledge"!) Beck is saying. Right?

15. Interesting to see him suggest it could be "Gaia" speaking.
Edited on Mon Mar-14-11 01:19 PM by DirkGently
And I don't see where he blamed "the gay" or what have you. I assume he and his Magic Chalkboard will trace it all back to George Soros presently.

One bizarre thing about Beck's rantings is that so much of it is just a mirror image of reality. In his world, poor liberals and communists are working together to control culture, the economy, etc.

Instead of, you know, Fox News.

Keep God out of it. How about the rich taking their greed and not caring what happens to others and accepting some responsibility?

20. If his god really existed
Beck would have been blasted into the far outreaches of the universe because of his ignorance and hate.
A god that hates..........ummmmm.....yes........just what we need.........as if we don't have enough
of that with the repugs! Please rapture them now, and give the rest of us a much deserved break.

26. Ya got it all wrong, Glennie. The real reason for all these disasters is...
that Amurkins are just not buying enough gold from your sponsors.

God wants us to have gold.

27. I find it interesting that they portray God as so vengenful
that he destroys whole swaths of people, parents, grandparents, children, newborns and good decent people with the might of his breath......but he can't figure out how to parse out and just kill off the assholes, murderers an warmongers in the world.

Sounds like someone who doesn't need my praise.

32. When's Beck going to just cut the crap and announce he's forming his own religion?
He sounds just like the snake-oil evangelists from the bad old days.
