Alabama State Sen. Hank Erwin, R-Montevallo, recently called Hurricane Katrina a punishment from God, saying New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast "have always been known for gambling, sin and wickedness. It is the kind of behavior that ultimately brings the judgment of God."
So the damage to your fine state of Alabama means what exactly? How about the thousands of people who live in that area but don't support gambling, sin, and wickedness? How about that other hurricane that hit the oh so red state of Texas the other day? Apparently God's aim sucks. Look, if God wanted to punish the gay folks, he would just blast them with a lightening bolt or cause all of their penises to drop off. This "natural disasters as an act of God" horse shit make me think we are still living in a time when we thought lightning was thrown by Zeus from a mountain. Stop being such pretentious ass holes and assuming that you know the will of God.
Of course, its an issue that all Christians have trouble with. How do you reconcile the idea that God is all knowing, all powerful, and loves everyone with any natural disaster? Surely God could have built a world where thousands don't die for no reason greater than warm water in a spin cycle. Its a difficult question. True evil is something that you can perhaps explain as human nature running against God will, but how does one justify natural disasters?

Well, maybe this was just a storm that occurred on it's own according to the physics of wind and turbulence. What if there is no God? Why is everyone so scared of nothingness? This is why religion is so popular. Everyone is so scared that there is nothing after your life that they hold on so tight to the idea that they have to do God's "will", whatever that may be defined as for that day.
My belief in religion, god and most importantly a superior being is slowly diminishing, not because of increase in our knowledge or new revelations by science....but because of the immense stupidity of these zealots I read about day to day.....

That's because human nature is a self-centered nature. We cannot fathom the idea of our awesomeness ending for good. It is a psychological crippling blow to our ego.
By the way, we drank a Slurpee for you guys this weekend in Orlando.
Personally, I don't understand the appeal. ;p
