What do creationists think about tornado's and the damages they cause?

[Insane_Duck]

Can you explain why you addressed this post to people exclusively in the US, Consol? Are you so xenophobic and ill-informed that you think the US is the only place with a significant religious population?

With the exception of Russia it has one of the highest Christian populations among developed nations.

 

[Insane_Duck]

how christian of you getting off like that.

The persecution complex is annoying isn't it?

 

[USincognito]

Are they acts of God or is God not responsible for tornado's?

How do religious people in the US cope with disasters? are they down to God or are they out of Gods hands?

More consol schtick. General Apologetics questions in C&E subsection, check.

And you think you're the only smart one here who can see what others are too dumb to see? if only you were.

Yes there is definitely religion in there somewhere.

It's hilarious that anyone disagreeing with you is labeled 'religious'.

Consol, you're one of the biggest fundies here.

-- thank you.

That's not something to be proud of av. Of course it's from you, so I'm not surprised.

It's not a complement it's a comment. If someone you loved has been hit by lighting from the air. Do you blame it on god?

My insurance company would.

Stop dodging.

If he was a mile underground inside of a rubber vault, I might attribute it to God -- otherwise, probably not.

So you admit that you're inconstant? Gotcha.

...
You are right about one thing though I don't expect many answers from creationists or Christians because they only want their God to be responsible for the good things in life.

Well, that's just a fact. Unless you plan to take the credit.

As you remember Adam and Eve had no clothes. So as God originally set up the earth, harsh weather was not an issue. In fact, moisture or "mist" rose up from the land by day and watered the plants at night. So even a hard rain was not a worry. Not being a bible reader, you still may have heard about Jesus calming the storm. Another example of where the actual problem lies.

If you bring up the issue of God's influence on the Earth, you need to at least read what God says on the issue.


Creationists don't spend a lot of time on lazy critics.
What would Jesus do?
Jesus responded, "Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!" Then he got up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly there was a great calm.

Part of "The calm" was when the weather-whiners eyes were opened.

Here are some facts -- you decide:

• 30 October 1991: The Halloween Monster, a.k.a. The Perfect Storm, strikes the U.S. amid the "land-for-peace" Madrid peace talks; President Bush's ocean-side home destroyed.
• 23 August 1992: President Bush moves Madrid talks to U.S. soil; that very day, Hurricane Andrew devastates southern Florida.
• 16 January 1994: President Clinton meets with Syrian President Hafez Assad to discuss more "land for peace" arrangements; less than 24 hours later, a 6.9 earthquake pulverized southern California.
• 1 September 1993: President Clinton announces a meeting with Arafat for the Oslo peace accords, to be held on 13 September; after a week of meandering in the Atlantic Ocean, Hurricane Emily hits North Carolina on that very day.
• 21 January 1998: while waiting to meet with Arafat at the White House, President Clinton's sex scandal breaks out.
• 27 September 1998: Arafat is meeting with the president in Washington; Hurricane Georges hits Alabama and stalls. The hurricane stalls until Arafat leaves and then it dissipates. Parts of Alabama declared a disaster area.
• 17 October 1998: Arafat comes to the Wye Plantation meeting; incredible rains fall on Texas, which cause record flooding. Parts of Texas declared a disaster area.
• 3 September 1999: Secretary of State Albright meets with Arafat in Israel; Hurricane Dennis comes ashore on this very day after weeks of changing course in the Atlantic Ocean.
• 12-26 July 2000: Arafat at the Camp David meetings. Powerful droughts throughout the country. Forest fires explode in West into uncontrollable fires. By the end of August, 7 million acres are burnt.
• 9 November 2000, two days after the presidential election: Arafat meets with President Clinton at the White House to try and salvage the peace process; worst election crisis in over 100 years occurs.

Imagine that - a large area of land is prone to hurricanes! Of all the hurricanes over the past century, and all the political events in the US that even slightly relate to Israel, we expect coincidental cross-over. But leave it to the religious and their 'Religion of Love' to turn these tragedies into things of celebration.

I echo visa on this one: AV must be a pretty disgusting human being to revel in these tragic events. Whenever I'm asked why I'm not a Christian, from now on I'm going to QV that post.

So you're saying natural disasters really are the work of a loving deity? Gotcha

No one expects you to understand, do they?
