Re: Reminder Of My Thread Topic. .
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.
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.

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.

Re: Re
Hundreds of expensive homes burned up in Colorado
But no old expensive homes burned up in Colorado.
Think about that for a second. The only construction burned up in Colorado was new construction.
Does that mean that God's Wrath somehow spares the Register of Historic Buildings? Or does that mean that the damage to people's homes, here, is a function of people's habitation extending into areas that have always traditionally experienced wildfires?
It's like you don't even think about these things, Buz, or that you say "well, it could be God's Wrath; therefore it probably is." The way it works is that you have to present evidence that God's wrath is the only explanation for these things.
I don't see how you can do that. This whole topic is another one of your immediate non-starters. You're simply not going to ever do the work it takes to support your end of an argument. No wonder we're all talking to other people, and "ignoring the substance of your OP" - your OP, and all subsequent posts, are in-substantive. There's just nothing there to reply to. One instance of wildfires in Colorado does not "God's wrath" make.
Look what happened to the Germans for the holocaust, etc.
What happened to the Germans? Germany has the strongest economy in Europe. It's actually pretty strong evidence for the nonexistence of God that the broad complicity of Germans, Poles, and Austrians in the genocide of God's "chosen people" has gone basically unavenged.
Tiny Israel has most always kicked butt on all of the large nations surrounding them, all vowing to destroy her.
Well, yeah. Because a major party of the US is prepared to commit treason in order to aid "Tiny Israel."
That's a fairly large advantage.
