Tsunami: Please Explain God's Wrathful Intent

I was once in a shop that had a magazine article on the wall showing a sliced tomato that allegedly contained some of gods word in arabic script.

You mean something like phrenology? Reading the bumps on a tomato?

Nah, actually IN the tomato. You know how tomatos are internally divided into sections? Well if you chop one in half vertically you will see slices of those 'bulkheads' in profile, separated by seeds and gel. It was the combination of the dividers and seeds that apparently made arabic words, so this was only 'revealed' when the tomato was chopped in half.Of course I am not very familiar with arabic script so I could not see it myself, didn't know what pattern to be looking for.

Granted, "forbidden" may not be the right word, but the government clearly discourages Christian evangelization by Christian citizens and foreign missionaries are forbidden.

Ahuh - and look at the Wests dmeonising of Islam, and the conflation of Muslims with terrorists.

quote:

---

For a Christian school to be required to exclusively teach Islam to Islamic students would undermine the purpose of the school and require the school to teach doctrines which they believe to be false.

---

Which would be exactly the same as requiring schools in the US teach Creation as anything other than a crackpot ancient dogma.Remember that chrisitians in your state are arguoing precisely that the model demonstrated here is a good one and should be adopted by christians and the US.

All the christians making arguments to the fallen world are wrong. You see a muslim cleric has determined that, especially in the case of Thailand, it was the Western-serving sex trade that so angered god. Thus this shows gods displeasure for otherwise good people consorting with depraved westerners, and how irresponsible those westerners are, seeing as they have brought gods wrath down on the heads of innocents too.See? Hubrisitc claims to notional right and wrong, menaingless theories about a fictional sky-fairy, can be manipulated to mean anything you opportunistically want it to mean.

It's almost instinctive to ask for God.

Bullshit.

Correct me if I'm wrong or off-base here.

---

AFAIAC, you are totally way off base.

Fast forward 250 years to the year 2255 and those questions will still be debated and stuggled with.

I hope to be around then to discuss it.

That might be worrying, if there were such a god. Fortunately there is not.
