God cursing America? Yeah, I noticed. When it was just the plague of locusts I laughed it off, but after the rain of blood and the deaths of our firstborn I started recognizing the classic signs of God being pissed off.
Obviously it's too late for me, I'm a heck-bound sinner, but you might be able to save yourself. My best advice to you is to flee this land of wickedness ... don't look back or you might get turned into a pillar of salt or a heap of pepper or a jar of mustard or something. Apparently God hates people who look back at things as much as he hates sodomy, and uses his magical powers to turn them into condiments.
Start running.

Re: Disasters
In all of my 76 years I've never ever observed the rapidity and variety of disaster after disaster in this nation, i.e tornadoes, flooding, fires, hurricanes, twin towers felled by box cutters, etc.
It appears that God used his omnipotence to curse America in advance. "Our own Pentagon, for the first time celebrated gay rights day", you write --- so it was cursed by being attacked by terrorists eleven years previously. We have "cursed Israel", you write, which I take to be your usual fatuous lie about Obama's foreign policy --- and this accounts for flooding? Hmm, when was the last time any substantial portion of America flooded? Oh yeah, 2005. That was the costliest natural disaster in the entire history of the United States, and it happened before the stuff you say we're being cursed for.
But if God gets his cursing in in advance, how will we ever know what we're being cursed for? You speculate that it's for what we're doing now, but maybe God's using his powers of prescience to curse us for the really really awful thing we're going to do in the year 2138.
Jesus and his apostles advocated no killing or violence by Christians. That all applied only to the nation of Israel, Gods tiny messianic nation, in a different dispensation.
Yes, well, it's hard to tell sometimes. Apparently the bit about sodomy still stands, but not the bit about picking up sticks on Saturday or wearing mixed fabrics. Apparently the only way to find out which bits of the old dispensation are still valid under the new is to ask a member of the Religious Right ... and sometimes I think they just make it up as they go along to fit with their personal prejudices.
How old are you? If you're old enough, your head is in the sand if you can't discern an increased variety and rapidity of national, I say national disaster.
Yeah, from the San Fransisco earthquake to the bombing of Pearl Harbor to the outbreak of the Civil War, we sure have been having a lot of problems in these last few years.
Oh, wait ... * glances at calendar, shakes head *

More telling is the lack of earthquakes in Holland - a cesspit of liberal ideology: weed and gay sex for all.
Well if there's one thing God hates more than gay sex it's people who live near tectonic faults. So he tends to save his earthquakes for them.

Why do you think that the right-wingers want to round up all the homosexuals?
Because then they can localise all the earthquakes and floods and tornadoes - hopefully preventing god from accidentally killing more innocent heteros.
Better still, we could extract all the gay from them with prayer (you can do that, y'know) boil it down to make concentrated gay, and then spray it on the countries of our enemies, i.e. everyone. God would create tectonic faults along the lines of gayness --- if it was sufficiently accurate we could write God Bless America all over Iran in volcanoes.

As we throw Israel under the bus, all the while aiding and building up the armies of their enemies, we are essentially cursing Israel.
I wish someone would "essentially curse" me by giving me thirty billion dollars.
That aside, I've had a great idea, perhaps you could mention it to God next time you see him. Instead of cursing us for only giving them vast amounts of money and other forms of military, political and diplomatic support, maybe he could ... y'know ... curse Israel's actual enemies? See, that would solve all Israel's problems, and also mean that we could keep our $30,000,000,000 worth of military aid, which they wouldn't need any more.
I mean, remember this?
By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the Lord.
For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the Lord went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
If God was in a curse-y sort of mood, Israel wouldn't need any military aid. Or a military.
Unless, of course, you have no faith in him.

Re: Re
BTW, I am a global warmist ...
So given that carbon dioxide is not actually God, we can discount any increase in natural disasters caused by global warming as not down to God cursing America, right?
C'mon, we want to see some actual miracles. Like in the Bible.

Re: Other Factors
We are the richest but one of the sickest among nations. Go to a Chinese Restaurant. How many obese staff do see in them? There is an epidemic of obesity among junk food consuming adults and children alike in our nation. We destroy our bodies with junk, all he while putting the best in our automobiles, so much so that our health care facilities are unable to accomodate it all.
And if we'd gorged ourselves on hamburgers that fell out of the sky, then we could blame God for it.
However, if you're determined to hold obesity up as an example of God's wrath, then this has the interesting consequence that we would be able to tell who God loves and who he hates just by looking at them.
Here's Rush Limbaugh, staunch opponent of gay marriage and serial heterosexual:
And here's Dan Savage, flaming "sodomite" and noted gay rights activist:
Now, who has God smitten with surplus calories?

Re: PLEASE EVERYONE, READ THE TITLE & OP
This thread has been derailed from the onset.
Well, since we've proved you wrong about everything, there's really nothing left on topic for us to talk about. We could post the same stuff again, but what's the point?

Re: Accuracy
In the interest of accuracy, US aid to Israel is only about $3 billion and not $30 billion as was previously stated.
In that case I withdraw my previous remarks. Bring on the plague of locusts, we deserve it.

Re: Evidence Pertaining To Israel & Sodomy ]
President Obama who has bowed to the king of a Muslim nation, Iraq
Iraq has a king now?
When Benjamin Netanyahu visited our White House he was neither invited to dine with the president. His entrance into the White House was through the back door.
Quite so. In fact they'd have managed to hush up the visit altogether if the White House hadn't made the fatal mistake of releasing photographs of it.
Netanyahu was so outraged by the snub that he said: "I want to thank you also for the warm hospitality that you've shown me and my delegation", and continued this angry outburst by remarking: "The alliance between our two countries is deeply appreciated by me and by everyone in Israel [...] I thank you very much, Mr. President, for your friendship."
Clearly Obama's sins against Israel are so egregious that our entire nation deserves all the plagues that afflicted Egypt, and one can only wonder at why the entirely fictitious boogeyman who lives in your head has as yet withheld his imaginary hand.

Re: Evidence Pertaining To Israel & Sodomy ]
An Oversight, DA. I meant to say Saudi.
Ah, I see. Well, King Abdullah's the one in the right ... and I guess Obama's the one on the left, yes?
Obama, the masterful deceiver becomes both Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde, depending on the occasion.
Quite so. He's Dr. Jekyll when he's doing real stuff, and Mr. Hyde when he's doing imaginary stuff.
Dr. Jekyll, for example, gives Israel three billion real dollars a year in real military aid. Mr. Hyde throws Israel under an imaginary bus.

They, as Americans have all rights that the rest of us have ...
... not quite ...
but no more than the rest of us have
Oh look, you wrote something true. I'm sure it was an oversight.
I would support the tiny messianic nation of Israel, providing enough armament to defend themselves.
Well, that seems to be what we're doing, insofar as no-one's currently invading them.
So remind me why God's smiting us again?
