Did God Cause The Earthquake That Shaked Eastern United States?

Maybe an 8.0 if it caused some damage and was a little more violent but it doesn't have to be devastating like in the past where California was almost destroyed.

 

No, God doesn't intervene often in the physical world.

 

We've been promised that will never happen again.

 

It would never need to occur in the first place.

 

Isnt' that nice. God promises not to kill everyone again. That just makes me want to snuggle right up to him.

 

"We thank you, Oh Lord, without whom none of this would have been necessary."

 

We've been trying for decades to harvest the power of unicorn farts, but alas, it has eluded us much like cold fusion. If only we could solve the pungent funk issue, we would have unlimited free power for the whole planet!

 

I thought you agreed that the Bible was a myth. Why this weird obsession with God supposedly killling innocents? It didn't happen.

 

It is a myth, however a good portion of people believe the notion of the bible being the word of god to be true.

However the issues with that is, obviously their supposedly loving god is not so kind and compassionate. If a deity is perfect, then the deity is perfect, then the deity should be capable of handling issues in a "perfect" way. Flooding the entire world and killing everything? Hateful, cruel, sadistic, unforgiving, and wasteful. Striking down the supposed sinners? Efficient.

That is the issue.

 

God didn't happen either, right? He is just a metaphor for human yearning to improve.

If this is not correct, tell us how you distill the metaphor from fact in the Bible?

 

Logically, there has to be an originator of the Universe. That originator is God.

You use common sense and logic to distill the metaphor from fact. The flood story is obviously metaphor. There is no way it is possible.

 

Common sense based on what? Common sense points towards the instability of an extraordinarily dense singularity resulting in the creation of the universe. So would the divine creation simply be metaphor?

 

What created the singularity?

 

Would it need a creator? Could it simply be a cyclic proccess?

The default position should not be "god did it", should be "we don't know yet".

 

That made me laugh out loud. LOL. Oh now I'm just being redundant! Out loud.

 

And, of course, "What created the creator?"

 

Suggestions from the Marine base near the epicenter:

Today's earthquake origin was determined to be a cemetery just outside of Washington DC. You know, the one our Founding Fathers are in. Seems they all turned over in their graves at the same time.

Breaking News: it's just been established by the administration that the DC earthquake occurred on a rare and obscure faultline, apparently known as "Bush's Fault".

It was a 5.9 earthquake but S&P downgraded it to 4.3.

 

Is it that hard to answer the question?

 

In the time it took you to write that response you could have easily specified the relation between abortion and a deity killing innocents for the actions of a few.

 

Then free will is bull(*)(*)(*)(*) and salvation and (*)(*)(*)(*)ation are arbitrary.

 

We are here for his glorification, if it glorifies him to wipe out a whole generation of people, who am I to question it?

Now whats your thoughts on abortion?

 

Wiping out an entire generation of people for the actions of a few?

Fundamentally sick.

Reminds me of the movies where the nationalist citizens do not only avoid questioning a dictators authority, but actually praise it.

 

Rather a sign of satan who cased it.

It will get worst...it say's it in the Bible - what Jesus said about the signs..... And little by little the signs of the end are comeing.

Awesome stuff.

 

God has nothing to do with it, assuming such a person exists.

On your premise you might as well declare that the Japanese tsunami that killed thousands of people was also an act of god. Forget your god and remember it is just the force of nature and the stupidity of governments in building nulcear reactors in an area so prone to earthquakes and tsunamis.
