Natural Disasters

[ThatRobGuy]

Has anybody else heard of some of these religious groups claiming that the recent weather has been a result of God punishing people for homosexuality??

RepentAmerica was one of them and the other was a group founded by the Westboro Baptist Church (I cannot list the name of their orginization, one of the words is inappropriate). If you wanna look them up, just google search "Westboro Baptist Church".

What gives people these wild ideas??

Your thoughts..

They are crazy nuts?

They are crazy nuts?

Well, that's a given....

But, where are they getting the idea that it's biblical prophecy?

No, it would be the gays fault if a hurricane blew over San Francisco. *joke*

Anyone thinking that God has anything to do with natural disasters needs to see a psychiatrist imo! Why should God want to punish anyone for being gay? No one can help their sexuality. Being Gay is normal, so folk should get over their bigotted prejudice!

Besides that the flooded areas of louisiana wasn't the french quarter (gay festivals and events in that area). So maybe its Gods punishment on your belief!

I believe the westboro baptist church is a farcical website. I'm not sure about the organization called "god hates ***s", however, it might be a farce as well. Poe's law at work- the more hateful or extremist a farce is, the more likely it is to be mistaken for the real thing That's not to say that there are not certain dips in this world who truly believe these things, pat robertson being a good example, but keep in mind a lot of it is just very hateful, angry satire.

This organization has made the news before....I think they are sincerely really that messed up.

 

[DaveS]

They are real, trust me.

They've had many brilliant claims before including 'God Hates Sweden', 'God Hates Islam', 'God hates America'..... there are a lot of them, leave it at that.

BEST THING TO DO - Stay clear, fundamentalism at work.

I saw them on the news for the first time when the picketed at the funeral of Matthew Shepard (the kid who was beaten to death because he was gay).

They were marching around with signs saying "Thank God he's dead" among other horrible things. They also yelled thing at his family when they were leaving the church.

The people who are part of this organization are seriously messed up.

well, there is a scripture saying that when the end time comes, there'd be more natural disaster, but to use it to put down people who are the victims of these disasters just doesn't reflect what a christian should do in times of need. We can't be sure that God doesn't have a hand in it, but what our response should be is clear.

Is it a possibility that maybe the people who wrote the predictions saw how the weather patterns operated?

Meteorologists say that they feel that a big enough shifting of the poles could cause a massive flood, that could explain part of the Noah's Ark story weather phenomenon.

Sorry, but i don't think being gay is normal - when human instincts are concerned. Men with Women is normal, anywhere beyond that is just beyond that.

Being mentally handicapped isn't normal either, does that mean it's a "Choice"?..

They're loony tunes. Natural disasters have been happening for millions of years. One rough year is no reason to sound the end of the world.
