my mom put Kiss 98.5 on the radio today on the way to work, and the morning jockeys are talking to people from the hurricane disaster zone, telling them all about how they are personally taking the time to collect food to fill up trucks and send down to the refugees. the responses to this were largely along the lines of "we thank God for the

sounds like God is in need of some heavenly video games.

you'd think he already had his hands full fighting the jihad against Allah for team USA, but i guess he's still got some arbitrary divine wrath to throw around.

Satan.

i don't recall any biblical accounts of satan causing natural disasters. but yeah, i was expecting someone to suggest this as an answer. i don't know if that's theologically supported, though.

Thank you.
For saying that.

PS - Has Robertson said anything about this yet? I'm waiting for him to make a remark that this was deserved/"God's lifting of protection" over Americans.

... Spoon out my eyes.

is that an actual quote? does that mean that he decided to let 9.11 happen, or just that his protection is as ridden with holes as his divine word?

Hmm, well it is a quote; my local paper back home had several of his quotes in it around the time he publicly wanted Chavez's death by secret operatives... I wish I kept it. I found this one online, actually.

"We have allowed rampant secularism and occult, et cetera, to be broadcast on television. We have permitted somewhere in the neighborhood of 35 to 40 million unborn babies to be slaughtered in our society.

the most flagrantly offensive aspect of religious fanatics isn't their ridiculous assertions of magical invisible superheroes in the sky but their utter lack of perspective. they do nothing but demonize our enemies while insisting that national policy be driven by religion without the faintest understanding of the fact that not only is that exactly what we are fighting, but that everyone else who is not part of whatever religious sect they belong to is just as convinced of their own moral and spiritual superiority as they are. if we weren't living it on a daily basis, i'd be convinced it was somehow all supposed to be intentionally ironic.
