Uuuuuhm no... best called on their idiocy methinks.
Ignoring them leaves 'em unquestioned when naive people come around.

There are innumerable charlitans out there looking to attract attention.

By responding to such idiotic notions we give them the publicity they seek.

But to be honest, Miniar, I get the feeling, I'm shouting at the wind.

There is a war of words between different groups who want to take our societies in different directions. Each claims to have justification. Each is repeatedly found to be lying.

People claiming to have the backing of religious texts, yet when we look at the texts we realise there is no such backing at all.

People claiming to have scientific evidence yet when we look at their evidence we realise there is no evidence at all.

People claiming to be scientists, found to be using subjective reasoning. Dawkins. Psychologists. They always respond with stock answers. They are experts. You clearly have issues. And so on.

People claiming to be religious, applying inaccurate history or textual referencs. They always respond with stock answers. You are a communist/Islamist/anti-democratic. They have seen the real consequences. And so on.

The only way to deal with these idiots is not to give them the air of respectability.

In another thread, there was a report about some guy who claims that, since homosexuality has only been legal for a very short time, it shouldn't be considered entirely legitmate yet. The argument was actually quite funny.

Stick to our core issue. We are adults. We make choices about how we live our lives. We have the right to contribute to society.

Makes you wonder, if God is that pissed, why have there been no earthquakes on the French Riviera, or volcanic eruptions in San Fransisco? He's not been very good at hitting his targets, has he?

Well, we are preparing for another EARTHQUAKE in San Francisco, and there is seismic activity thats a little southeast of it that is right under a major California Ski resort that looks like a volcano in a few decades, but no sooner.  Out here though, earthquakes are a form of entertainment, and the biggest problem is not the dead victims, its the whiny ones that are alive, and won't help clean up the mess.  They are the real wrath of god since they take the place of a plague of locusts any day. They eat up all the food and fly on to somewhere else to eat up all the food.  I frankly prefer the natural disasters to that type of survivor.

On the God is gonna get you side :  A fundamentalist pastor and a noted atheist had been paired up in a charity golf tournament.  The clergyman was playing fairly well, but the atheist was having problems.  On the third hole the clergyman had made it to the green, but the atheist had hooked his shot into a sand trap!!  On seeing what he had done, the atheist loudly says "F*&in Jesus, I missed the green.  The Clergyman looked over to him and said, God will not tolerate that language! and will punish you".  The atheist just snorted, and they played the hole with nothing further.  Two holes later, the atheist had another bad shot and again shouted out ""F*&in Jesus, I missed again"  The clergyman told him very stongly, I mean it, God is going to punish you for that if you say it again!!!  On the next hole, the atheist actually missed the ball on his tee swing, and shouted out his loudest "F*&in Jesus, I missed again!!!"  At that moment, as the clergyman was about to speak, a bolt of lightning came shooting out of the sky and killed the clergyman instantly!!  In a roll of thunder though came a voice saying ""F*&in Jesus, I missed again!!"

The dinosaurs aren't mentioned in the Bible, so they didn't get anything done to them!!  The devil gives us the false impression that they existed just to make us go against what God REALLY TOLD us.  You don't listen to the EXPERTS!!!

 

Now I've gotten the 7 devils out of me!!!   AHHHHHHHH that feels good.

It would be interesting if someone did find that long and totally lost biblical book called the REVELATION OF T.REX THE DIVINE.

third heaven and third earth, dinosaurs were the first?

Oh god now you've done it... Expect the angry islamic mobs come rolling in over the hills now..

As for the threads original topic: Lol Theres always a christian group that thinks SOME natural disaster is god's wrath.. God is SO annoyed at us, so much so that he really really REALLY wants to annoy us by stopping all our air travel plans! D: The current Christian fundamentalist favorite is 2012, supposed to be judgement day! Yawn, wasnt the year 2000 supposed to be a judgement day too? How many of these fake judgement days are there supposed to be? Perhaps theres enough to make a judgement week out of them! Nah maybe theres enough to make a judgement month!

In the mind of a true protestant, nobody can ever have any fun because every day is judgment day. It's, ya know, judgment life, or perhaps judgment spacetime continuum if you'd like to get all technical and scientific and universalizing about it.

If people believe it then fine, the problem starts when they talk about it and promote it. religion should be kept at home, personal and private, but never in public, when will we learn, after so many wars, so hypocritical

Maybe God's wrath at the stupidity of religious bigots?

Wrath. Implying he even has the power to do so. Nothing but a demigod at best.
