Is this what passes for Christianity these days? Is this what is being preached inside those tax free buildings? How commonly held are beliefs such as this pinhead is expressing? Seeing the glee with which this rapture kook views the deaths of over 10,000 people causes me such anger that I'm gobsmacked.

That.. makes me feel ill. I feel bad that I gave it a hit by seeing some of it. Janice |

These are the same types who demand that others respect their personal beliefs in their God. My tolerance for religion is now long gone, and so is any pretense of respect for the religious beliefs of others. I see that the respect is not mutual and while I exercise tolerance, the religious rapture kooks are praying to their imaginary invisible friend for the destruction of those deemed as unfit. I am sickened by this twirp's righteous attitude I do not fight fascists because I think I can win. I fight them because they are fascists.

Found the video. I couldn't watch the whole thing. It looks like the world is very messed up in places. I know they are out there, but I have been lucky enough not meet most of them. celttooth |

Here's another source to the video. http://perezhilton.com/tv/Girl_Says_Japan_Tragedy_Is_A_Sign_From_God/?keyword=god&ptvid=70e2664888349&start=0&end=7 It just made me angry all over again.

this sounds no worse than the televangelists claiming each and every earthquake and hurricane is a judgement against a city or area. I recall there being hundreds of earthquakes a year but the one that televangelists picked up on was the one in southern california that shut the Porn industry down for a whole 3 day. 3DAYS. Or the idiot that claimed that Katrina was retribution for New Orleans evil ways. It's nice to see that these idiots can claim after the fact that this is Gods will. How is it that none if them can say that something is Gods will before it happens? That would impress me and a lot of other people. Not just saying some day a hurricane will blow away New Orleans. Give me the time and date. Waiting until after the fact is hardly a prediction or having knowledge of Gods will. Its just assigning blame. Sadly, these people are also on my list of folks that needs to be taken out back for a reeducation In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

If their invisible man in the sky really wanted to make people convert, he wouldn't just shake up a country and smash everything. No, I think it would be far more impressive if god squashed only the homes of non-believers during a giant earthquake. Hell, even better, he should squash the homes of only the unbelievers worldwide in one moment. Now that would get my attention. I do not fight fascists because I think I can win.

Believing only when Everything that happens has met all of your pre-determined criterions before the fact. Seems a certain recent Presidential candidate met all of your pre-determined criterions before the fact. And You Believed. Believed the man right into The White House. How's that Belief working for You? Now don't go re-arranging those pre-determined criterions to now Meet the Facts. No no, don't do that. That tain't the way it works. Or is it. For the Left that is. Warp drive Scottie. Warped minds. LOL iWorm 'em. |

I did not beleive he would get elected until he did. And I do beleive he is president, and doing a lot better than the alternatives would have. I also beleive republicans are doing everything they can to stop him and then get some witty one liners to pass around about him when they succeed. I beleive we need more sanity and the two parties actually working together, and enough of being hijacked by the extreme right. And I beleive, I am going to have Dessert. Amen. Janice |

Believing only when Everything that happens has met all of your pre-determined criterions before the fact. How's that "Making sense thing" working out for you? Seriously, I think you like to play Devil's Advocate. Give it enough time, if something really weird happened such as Es supporting Sarah Palin, you'd still find a way to disagree with her. |

I beleive we need more sanity and the two parties actually working together I keep finding out near the beginning of many semesters how little people know about how other democracies work with regards to expressing one's vote and selecting a winner. So, give up hope of most having more than a very basic idea of what a coalition is. |

watched the video and the first thing that is readily apparent is the idiotic rhetoric. God's vengeance on Japan. Talk about stupid. this moron believes that by unknowingly not being Christian they brought about the wrath of God upon themselves... What about the 1964 Good Friday Alaskan Earthquake was thats God vengeance on the unwitting fools that were Russian orthodox or heathens in Alaska. Hell the Indonesian Tsunami hit people that were believers. though not Christian. Again the whole argument is stupid on its face. making a statement that God wrath has been meted out is about as predictive as saying the sun will appear at dawn tomorrow. How about something we can't predict as Gods wrath. Hell, how about not praying for people to die to see God's will. Or better yet how about not having to kill thousands to get a point across. Did someone say that the Holocaust was God's punishment against the Jews, Poles, gays and Catholic priests.

The one thing that caused me the greatest anger was the pure joy she expressed at the deaths resulting from the quake. What has become of the christians I knew as a child. The ones with the message of peace, tolerance and hope? Those were the christians I've tried to show respect for. No longer will I give an inch when the subject comes up. Religious beliefs belong in the trash heap of history and the sooner these rapture kooks wake up from their delusional beliefs, along with their weak minded brethren in other religions, the better off the world will be.

What makes Western civilization worth saving is the freedom of the mind, now under heavy attack from the primitives … who have persisted among us. If we have not the courage to defend that faith, it won’t matter much whether we are saved or not. — Elmer Davis. |

"What has become of the christians I knew as a child" ================================================ Some of them are still out there. A lot of them have become Buddhists, Others like Long Sufferin' Marie know that the world needs them more now than ever. I still have not given up hope. I only hope that the world is willing to forgive the lost among us. I still am. celttooth |
