    After felt shaking here it felt like time to re evaluate Christianity and go back to church on Sunday.

    Some conservative Christians are saying that we are being devilish in DC with evil policies such as allowing homosexual marriage, stealing money from the rich, etc... and this natural disaster is a warning to change our ways.

    Granted if the shake was more violent would have listened more to their advice but at this moment it seemed just like an ordinary thing that should not cause for concern...

    Was this a sign from God?

    It was movement of the Atlantic plate which is always moving West (Away from Europe) a few centimeters every year.

    Was it God? Nope, it was the Tea Party. :mrgreen:

    Tectonic plates.

    Fairly obvious.

    Why use an earthquake to scare millions of people? Why not just scare the sinners" Such an inefficiently hateful deity you guys follow.

    Divine Justice is often harsh, that's the point. Harsh penalties ensure orderly behavior.

    Fundamentally sick and demented to kill innocents such as children and infants to prove a point.

    "Never let a crisis go to waste."
    You see, it was the tectonic plates moving abruptly that cause the earthquake. But, why did they move so abruptly? Because the oil that is suppose to lubricate them and allow them to move smoothly is sucked out of the ground and put our own selfish uses.
    In order to prevent future earthquakes we need to stop using the plate lubrication oil and start relying heavily on wind solar and unicorn farts to power our great nation.

    Abortion doesn't involve killing children.

    My friend, you have seen this incident based on sworn testimony. Can you prove that it didn't happen?

    and to me a divine person is the one who can sustain honesty over belief.

    Imagine how harsh 'divine justice' will be when the globe realizes the religious wingnuts have been lying to people for far too long.

    Imagine how people would judge you if what you have been telling people has been just BS.

    scary aint it


    Anyone find the cause to eartgquakes being based on 'plate tectonics' in the bible?


    Or is the 'god' of existence (mankind) just mother nature?

    The story of Noah, as you should know. Apparently the wickedness of Man made it necessary not only to kill all humans (except for Noah's family) but all animals as well (except for those on the big boat). Sheer stupidity.

    Divine? Orderly behavior?

    Is your GAWD a goose-stepping T-Bagger too?

    What does this have to do with stories of killing every living thing on the planet for the actions of a few?
