    Just as He got fed up with all the sin in New Orleans, He now has decided to annihilate a small town in Kansas. Shape up or your town will be next.

    As a NY Mets fan we appreciated his intervention in 1969 - in fact without him the Knicks and the Jets would never have one either that year. To this day I thank him for his divine intervention.

    And that Tsunami the other year - wow - was he pissed off - he told me so. I cant tell you why though, you would never believe me.

    And you think that vote count in Florida was a fraud - nope - God all the way. He thinks Gore is an a**hole.

    Global warming - man based? Jeez you gotta be kidding me. God's a little cold, and he turned the thermostat up a bit - Mars too :lol:

    BTW, Elvis is fine and having a blast in Heaven.

    It wasn't God. It was a non religious weather event that occurred with neither intent nor conviction. The victims were merely victims of chance. It may have appeared randomly, but in the future meteorological science may one day advance far enough to accurately predict tornadoes to save peoples lives. God(as in Jesus Christ's father) didn't do it. God had as much to do with it as did Allah, Zeus, or the mormon God.

    Typical atheist answer (which I happen to agree with). What say the religious right? What did these Kansans do to piss God off so badly?

    Tell me, if in your own words - meteorological science may one day advance far enough to accurately predict tornadoes - when will it be able to predict global temperatures 50 years from now accurately?

    I would venture to guess that only God knows but that would be too funny.

    Perhaps its the wine :D

    Perhaps, regarding GW, we might one day go at it from another direction; corrolating the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere with decreases or increases in the temperature and overall habitability (for humans) of the planet...rather than forecasting a specific climactic condition for a specific area at a specific time.

    In my opinion, trend information is what's most pertinent to the discussion of GW.

    You expect more from people who refuse to DRIVE their house to a safer location after being hit repeatedly by storms. :lol:

    I am hanging my head in total disgust - going home to beat myself with chains 100 times tonight :(

    why you might wonder...

    you definately have the best post here. I cant stop smiling. Perhaps the reason they couldnt drive their homes away (tooooo funnnnny) was because their stills are not mobile? Perhaps God wanted a little moonshine?

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Pinto Girl @ May 7 2007, 04:04 PM) [snapback]437046[/snapback]</div>
    you did not see my humor in that post - i thought it was a good one. sorry to disappoint :(

    When? In the future. You want a definite answer. Definitely not tomorrow and a super high probability not in the next week.

    Likelihood? >1% but <100% chance.

    The answer is obvious....

    They stopped believing in him [God] :D

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(burritos @ May 7 2007, 04:11 PM) [snapback]437055[/snapback]</div>
    Then how can you believe in global warming if you cant trust the "scientific models"?

    You know, I'm not disappointed in the least. Actually, if anything, I'm a bit humbled by your understanding of wine; in my case, repeated attempts at 'hands on' learning have still, unfortunately, left me on the steep part of the learning curve...

    Keep up on the "repeating" part. You'll catch on. :D

    maybe they never did, and ID isn't really a clever political name for creationism?

    [smacks hand against forehead]

    of course!! that explains everything...

    Weird, cause these victims seemed like believers to me, at least up until they were slaughtered.

    http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/...1042470,00.html

    Is it your rationale that these people murdered must NOT have been true believers otherwise God wouldn't have let them die?

    I have a simpler and more reasonable explanation. This was a random act of violence, and their praying to god is as useful as praying to you.
