Thank goodness that god has no sway over environmental disasters in the UK or Europe then, else our more liberal attitude to homosexuals would have put us in deep do-do by now.
It appears he is only the god of America - and to be honest, you can keep him.

Like I said, God supports Spain. Look at all the earthquakes detected in Europe over the last few days - do you see a mention of Spain in that list? I would think God's Catholic, except he keeps setting off a few in Italy.

Reminder Of My Thread Topic. .
Tangle, Caffiene and some others, to a lesser degree, you are craping up my thread with long off topic troll messages.
My OP and Message 5 pertain to the present rapidity of a variety of distructive disasters which is a phenomenon that has never been observed in US history.
This thread does not pertain to disasters which have been observed over the decades and centuries past.

Uhh...
Aren't Earthquakes caused by tectonic faults and storms by weather systems. In other words, we know what causes them and it's not the Jewish God, so they can't be arriving to punish you. I mean Earthquakes basically occur following a Poisson probability distribution. Unless God punishes people following basic statistical distributions.

What is wrong with this picture?
As we throw Israel under the bus, all the while aiding and building up the armies of their enemies, we are essentially cursing Israel.
And for this God is dropping trees on old people and killing babies with tornados? He is burning houses in Colorado and causing flooding in Vermont because of Obama's policies toward Israel and his tolerance of homosexuality?
I mean with everything God had to say about righteous judgement, don't you think he would just smite the sodomizers and take out Obama. Maybe hurl an asteroid into the pentagon. Hardly seems fair to the dead babies. You would think that, being an omnipotent God and all, he could fine tune the targets of his rage a little.

Sadly the list of actual disasters, proves you wrong. (But don't let that concern you any.)

Re: Earthquakes
Son Goku, again, this topic is not about earthquakes, perse. It's about a conglomerate of various disasters which have happened in a relatively short period of time.
Again, a reminder of my OP message and Message 5 topic.

Re: Reminder Of My Thread Topic. .
Buz, you start off by saying:
My OP and Message 5 pertain to the present rapidity of a variety of distructive disasters which is a phenomenon that has never been observed in US history.
The phrase to focus on there is "a phenomenon that has never been observed in US history".
You then go on to say:
This thread does not pertain to disasters which have been observed over the decades and centuries past.
But you have just said that your OP and Message 5 have, in part, to do with "a phenomenon that has never been observed in US history".
It can hardly be called off topic for members to ask you to examine that US history in some detail.

Well, you accidentally said something true for once - it has never been observed.
Because it doesn't seem to be happening. Telling us we have our heads in the sand because we don't believe you isn't "evidence." It's the fallacy of poisoning the well, in fact.

So in message 5 you say:
Thus America has, for two centuries been blessed of God, more-so than any other nation and is, for the first time being cursed by God.
Looking at the wiki list of distasters that have struck your blessed America in the last 200 years, would you say that your statement is confirmed or denied by the actual evidence?
Did you do ANY research before you posted or did you just decide that what you feel at the moment must be true?

Re: Reminder Of My Thread Topic. .
Your message 5 is three lines, two of which are rejoinders. There's one assertion contained that you've "never seen" this level of disasters, but so what? Did you literally pay attention to every single disaster that occurred anywhere in your entire life? Did you keep records about them?
What work did you do to make sure it wasn't just a trick of memory, caused by your desire to believe that God wants to punish America for electing Barak Obama? Anything at all?
You're asking us to take your word for it. Why would any of us do so?
Evidence is that which would convince someone reasonable who nevertheless has no reason to trust you. Do you see why we don't think you've presented any? Try evidence. Show us in the records where these things are getting worse.
Edited by crashfrog, : No reason given.

More telling is the lack of earthquakes in Holland - a cesspit of liberal ideology: weed and gay sex for all.
Maybe god agrees with Frankie Boyle:

Please take a few moments to read the following sections on the website, it is pretty short. It SHOULD be shocking to americans how much america unilaterally and unthinkingly throws allegiance to Israel. It SHOULD be.

But I am sure americans won't swallow that tripe a second time, right Buzz? . . . )
