oh yeah

what i originally came on to post about...ha, funny how the mind wanders

i've been reading about and watching reports on katrina, as i'm sure you all have, and i cant help but notice 1 thing: everyone's either praying for these people or asking god to save them, etc etc. why doesnt anyone ever assume that god created the hurricane? that (s)he did this to them? especially if you believe in something like intelligent design (oh my bad that's not related to religion, right?). wouldnt hurricanes fall into the category of something that was enabled by gods (the intelligent designer's, again my bad) design? so why do they never blame god?

after all, shouldnt he help you out of a mess he created? if they believe in god, but dont blame him, surely they must also believe in mother nature. but then, wouldnt she be as powerful, if not more so, than god? i mean, to override his system and cause the hurricane. if god is benevolent wouldnt he have tried to stop it? so is mother nature stronger than god, or was he just aloof? an all-powerful god would have to be, right?

so instead god has brought new orleans back to an 18th century mob town, where there's no electricity and street thugs rule the town. no god or divine injustice? you be the judge

Just passing thru and noticed your comment in reference to the disaster that is Hurricane Katrina. I dont know--nor does anyone fully--if God would purposely create such a horrendous disaster just for grins. Im sure there is a reason this has come to be. I know the saying goes, "He works in mysterious ways" would come to mind but I cant help but think it doesnt quite fit in this situation. Maybe it would work for a death in the family, or freak accident, you know? There are many scientific factors that could explain why a hurricane comes about also. But, have you ever stopped to wonder if it were the Devil(or evil powers in general) that created this chaos? I dunno...food for thought I guess. I hope you find out--sooner than later---that God loves us more than words can explain. I would never think he would create a natural disaster and not have a grand plan behind it---if it were even Him that would create it in the first place!Sorry its so lengthy...just couldnt help but to comment.

if what you're saying is correct, then the devil is more powerful then god. the devil has the abiliy to control what god has created. if He wasn't able to stop the Evil Forces from unleashing a horrible hurricane, then obviously God has lost the eternal battle of good vs. evil. heaven is vacant. ALL HAIL THE NEW SUPREME LORD, LUCIFER! if anything this hurricane is a giant bitch slap from god for voting republican.

what i love about this hurricane also is that no one seems to be blaming bush at all. he took huge chunks of cash from the disaster relief / prevention funds. all of the national guard is in iraq so there is no one left to help during a crisis. instead bush asked his buddies with a wink and a nod to not gouge people at the pump, because they haven't been doing that for the last few months, or every summer since the beginning of time.

why dont we ever get any normal people posting comments? only religious fucks.
1)god did not create the hurricane, its a result of complex pressure gradients and weather patterns.
2)people take every/any event and use the excuse "god works like this" or "god wanted it".

religious people blame some ficticious character for everything. in my opinion this reflects no accountability in their character. if you argue that innocent people died because of this, i then tell you that I'll never live under a levee, or a muddy hill in cali.


I do happen to have relatives in Biloxi, Miss that no ones heard from yet so to say that i'm unaffected is false.

not to mention that these people with "moral values" are fucking looting and killing people in an outright panic. I even heard that an rescue army helicopter was shot at. the dumbass fuckers are acting like clowns.

It is kind of interesting that all the guest posts are from folks that step up to plate for the Lord. Whether or not that's 'normal' is any census-bureau's guess.

I'll take a spiritual stance. If there's an immense positive energy floating about then positive things can spontaniously happen - like the Statue of Liberty walking thru New York City in the late 1980's to the tune of "Your Love....Takes Me Higher." Negative energy means pink slime in our sewers, people. Let's be rational.
