God Is Cursing America

No i cited the biggies you know the stuff he wrote in stone you should not do, gays are mentioned by some bigots later, the ones i cited came directly from the horses mouth.And you still have not shown a graph that shows a significant increase in disasters, if i make one and it shows no significant increase you will probably dismiss it on the spot so i want you to do it look at the actual data so you can see with your own eyes that there is no increase in any kind of disasters.

Buzz, you are one big, massive, fuck off, Poe.I honestly can't take anything you say seriously.Either that or you are a massive twat.

If Buz is true to form, he should soon start claiming that he has already provided evidence. Edited by Panda, : No reason given.

Finally you say something I 100% agree with. These fatty fat fats are truly a disgusting breed of modern homo-sapiens. The movie theaters had to make the seats bigger for them. The buses and subways had to make the seats bigger. Airplanes too. Automobiles have to be SUV's to accommodate the entire family of fatties when they take their daily trips to Pizza Hut and for ice cream after.God is CLEARLY punishing us with an abundance of food, drinks and comfortable homes where we can just lay back and watch TV in air conditioning.How can we fix this?- OniEdited by onifre, : No reason given.

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?

Not necessarily, since we have already established that god punishes in advance (Message 9). But if he sends only a 5.8 for gay marriage, I would agree that he is actually quite ok with it nowadays, especially compared to what he did to Sodom and Gomorrah a couple of millennia ago.

If we extrapolate that progression, it won't be long before we should expect to see blessings rained down on countries that have lotsa teh ghey.

Rather an odd nit-picking quibble. If you can think of a single verb that would apply to both coins and paper money, then why not suggest it?It is still a solid fact that the law requiring "In God We Trust" appear on all US currency, both paper and coin, was passed in 1955; full implementation was not achieved until the Kennedy Administration. The fact that it had also appeard sporadically during and after the Civil War does not in any way negate the solid fact of the 1955 federal law.I had known about the Civil War origins of the practice ever since the mid-1980's when I first learning about the events of the mid-1950's. As I posted on CompuServe on 10 November 1992:

quote:

One documentary shown on PBS included a film clip of a Boy Scout giving the Pledge of Allegience. I knew that that clip predated 1954 because he said "one nation, indivisible". Those words are a testament to the unity of our nation. Then in 1954 (One NINE Five Four), in an act of great symbolic importance (unknown to them), Congress divided those words with "under God". Since that symbolic dissolution of our national unity, things have been going downhill (if you doubt that, just ask any "traditional values" advocate).

​

Since 1776, our National Motto was another testament to national unity: E Pluribus Unum (Lat. "Out of Many Parts, One"). Then in 1956, Congress scrapped this expression of national unity by replacing it with "In God We Trust." To those who say we must return to "In God We Trust," I ask, "However do you think we got by and grew and prospered the first 177 years WITHOUT that motto?" Our moral decline since we have dumped our traditional values and adopted that new motto is well-known and bemoaned.

​

Here's some further historical background on "In God We Trust." F.Scott Key used similar wording in his "Star Spangled Banner." During the Civil War, a minister wrote to Lincoln suggesting that the words "In God We Trust" be stamped on Union currency, which it was in 1864 and then very sporadically afterwards. In 1955, an act of Congress required it to be placed on all US currency. Then in 1956, Congress made it the new National Motto.

The Wikipedia article, In God We Trust, gives a detailed history of the phrase and its implementation during the Civil War (describing the issues of having to get Congressional approval of such changes) and of its appearance on and disappearance from various coins, though with no mention of paper money. It concludes that section noting: "Since 1938, all US coins have borne the motto."Is that what you were trying to say? That the 1955 law's effect was to extend the practice to paper money? In part, yes, that would be true. But the 1873 Coinage Act, passed by Congress, only gave permission for "In God We Trust" to be inscribed on coins (and, indeed, the practice came and went and came back again), whereas the 1955 law not only extended the practice to paper money, but also made it mandatory.The article and other sources have noted the increased religious fervor during the Civil War as in the North the war was turning into a quasi-religious crusade and during the Red Scare and rampant anti-Communism of the mid-1950's. As for myself, I am very reactionary as I stand firmly for and call for the restoration of the Pledge and of the National Motto!

That's because it took the Pony Express three days to bring you the news. Today, every tornado is on YouTube the minute it starts.

Asheville, North CarolinaFace it buzz you are just noticing more bad stuff, or you dint get the information you do now back then.My guess is you dint notice things like this too much back in the day because you dinn't want to. It made life sound so much better when nothing bad was happening. Now you are getting old and you want some magic sky daddy to be punishing the new generation for having more fun then you had.

Let's not make this one of those threads with 150 messages all with some silly subtitle like 'Re: Re'

For essentially cursing Israel and for Sodomy, two biggies that tick God off.

Other posts have already pointed out that the U.S. is providing massive support to Israel. And according to you the proportion of gays in U.S. society is likely only 2-3% Message 234It would seem rather odd for God to be especially pissed off at the U.S. for either of those.

Wouldn't the aid sent to Israel count as a blessing ? If not, why not ?From an Israeli news source: Globes

Our own Pentagon, for the first time celebrated gay rights day. We are, for the first time in our history advocating gay marriage, etc.

​

You can call me homophobic or what ever. I'm just telling you what, Biblically, ticks God off.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the Sodom incident triggered by a rape gang chasing an angel ? (Genesis 19). That's a far cry from a civil society accepting consensual gay sex.

That America is being pounded with disaster after disaster is, imo, just another evidence that he does, indeed, exist and is to be feared and acknowledge by man, whom he created in his image.

---

And of course, as others have shown any claim of an increase in disasters is also dubious.As I said earlier, a competent terrorist is careful to claim credit for his atrocities and make his grievances clear. Since you haven't even good evidence that any atrocities are being committed or that the actuality of the supposed offences is actually severe enough to warrant this intervention, your claim is unsupported.

This thread has been derailed from the onset. This thread pertains to two curses and only two; how, nationally, America has essentially thrown Israel under the bus while aiding their enemies, oll of whom seek to destroy her, and how, nationally, (I say nationally) America has legitimized sodomy. That's it. Anything else posted will be considered off topic.

Buz:Please provide evidence that the US has thrown Israel under the bus or that the US has legitimized sodomy.

PLEASE, do elaborate.. How has the US (I think thats what you mean when you write America, though America is a whole lot more than the US), 'thrown Israel under the bus'?If i recall correctly, monetary aid has risen under the Obama administration, and the Obama administration arent exactly supporting the palstinians, more so than any other president for the past two decades. Anal, oral and homosexual sex has always been going on. Didnt you ever get a BJ, old man? Thats sodomy, you know. Your original message claimed that we have more distasters going on now than never before. Of course, that is not true.You simply percieve it as such, because these days, you get to know about every incident, minor or big, no matter what. When you were growing up, you wouldnt have heard of some storm in another state, perhaps rarely, but not always.Luckily, some people have been keeping track of incidents over the years, and we obviously see, that you are wrong.Why do you care so much about Israel anyways? If they are gods chosen people, wouldnt you be following the wrong religion?
