You know what gets me? How uncreative God is with his natural disasters. He always stirs up hurricanes for the Eastern Seaboard, tornadoes for the Midwest, and earthquakes for California. For all of this praise that Christians give him for his creativity, he really likes to stick to the same old stuff to punish us time and time again.

Hey, we do have tornadoes over here in Germany too! Just much less of them, compared to your tornado alley :)

Seriously, why is this so confounding and needing an explanation? What is more likely, god is controlling the weather and killing children and destroying churches in the Midwest or tornadoes are part of nature caused randomly by the different temperatures from the north and south meeting and have nothing to do with god?

Not to mention, why is it that the poor invariably suffer more from natural disasters the finger of God than the rich? I thought God was on the side of the poor.

 

Blessed Cursed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven trailer park on the wrong side of the tracks.

Yeah i know. What ever happened to good old fashioned fire and brimstone falling from the sky? Or boulders from the heavens? God is slipping in his elderly years.

 

It's not just the same old stuff, but it's always pretty much the same old locations too. Why not send a hurricane to hit Oregon or a volcano to erupt right under NYC or an F5 tornado to strike San Francisco or have pretty much any disaster happen where they NEVER do?

Clearly the German people are much more righteous and pleasing to God than the US Bible Belt.

 

(Or maybe being more exposed to natural disaster makes populations more superstitious?)

Hmm...I dunno. Try typing, "German porn" in Google and see what pops up. I'm pretty sure the same results won't happen when you type in, "Southern porn".

I love that. He's punishing the Christians in the American South and Midwest while leaving increasingly secular Western Europe alone.

To the Christians trying to say tornadoes are messages from God, tornadoes are NATURAL disasters. Why can't God stir up supernatural disasters anymore? When the Mississippi River turns into blood I'll believe.

Let's just pretend for a moment that tornados are a message from god... he's trying to tell the bible belt to shut up already.

 

"dear jesus, please protect me from your followers"

I just don't get it. You mean to tell me, people ACTUALLY BELIEVE that natural disasters are a direct force of gawd??? Call me new to the game, but I thought it was all kinda metaphoric of some sort. Where we know that these things are related to nature, but we attribute it to god for whatever reason. What fucking ignorance. its just like that idiot who thinks god caused 9/11

God sure is a mean bitch. You'd think he'd hit only the "bad" establishments. If a tornado happened and ONLY destroyed strip clubs then I might think god is punishing someone.
