- Hortnon, on 10/11/2007, -9/+132And I thought idiots like Falwell only existed in the US...
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -6/+84Genesis 8:20-22: "I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I ever again destroy every living creature as I have done. While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease." - Seems to me that the Bishop of Carlisle doesn't know his scriptures.
- edd17, on 10/11/2007, -1/+57A low pressure system moving in the Atlantic had nothing to do with it then?
- hcl40u, on 10/11/2007, -2/+55Couldn't God be a little more direct if he wants to punish the gays?
- Bridgetown, on 10/11/2007, -3/+52And so how would this bishop explain the flooding in Eastern nations?
I think this is absurd. - chicagospur, on 10/11/2007, -2/+45He probably thought "Evan Almighty" was a documentary.
- BrainInAJar, on 10/11/2007, -1/+41yeah, there was no such thing as a natural disaster before gay marriage laws came... everything was peachy
- geekchic, on 10/11/2007, -2/+41What looks like a random act of nature is not really that conclusive as proof of Gods existence, so you can hardly blame people for doubting the existence of an entity which does so little to provably demonstrate that it exists. If God was that bothered about people not following the rules and regs, shouldn't God be a bit more proactive in the "proof of existence" department?
The lack of effort on Gods part in this matter can only suggest that God is not actually all that bothered about how people live their lives. - theblueprint, on 10/11/2007, -2/+41Since this guy knows precisely what God is up to, maybe he'd like to explain the meaning of life next?
- TopherT, on 10/11/2007, -3/+41I guess god works in tangential and passive aggressive ways.
- whatthefu, on 10/11/2007, -5/+39Well if that WAS true then God would be huge a douche bag.
- Koopa, on 10/11/2007, -3/+35Whenever I hear a comment like this, I always wonder why these guys are so quiet every time a tornado hits the Bible Belt.
- redpixie, on 10/11/2007, -1/+30Unfortunately not.
- damonic, on 10/11/2007, -2/+28Its called "faith" and its a scary thing. You can't argue with someone that has "faith" in an imaginary supreme being. There is no logic to it.
If one person believes in imaginary friends, its called schizophrenia. If a group of people believe in an imaginary friend, its called religion. - GorfTron, on 10/11/2007, -2/+27I flooded an ant hill, just in case the ants were gay. Then a praying mantis said "Cursed is the ant kingdom! All praise the giant nerd-god!" Then I squished him for being a homosexual mantis. Nice try, kiss ass.
- davidjunit, on 10/11/2007, -2/+26Well duh, because they don't worship the Christian God.
Idle hands spend time at the genitals and you know how much God hates that. - Acidwire, on 10/11/2007, -2/+25Bishop, explain the similar flooding occurring in the bible belt right now. I'm sure the answer would be along the lines of "oh no, thats just nature acting up."
- 89vision, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20Global warming seems more plausible than god's wrath.
- Radionesiac, on 10/11/2007, -1/+18And all this time I thought it was just some ***** weather
- Jorlwind, on 10/11/2007, -2/+19Sounds like someone missed the Dark Ages.
- geekchic, on 10/11/2007, -1/+16"Gods Judgement Comes ONLY During the Tribulation Period in 21 Judgements of God."
Well, that's the trouble with Tribbles. - BeefBaron, on 10/11/2007, -3/+18Just when you thought religion couldn't get any more idiotic...
- craftycorner, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14Yah, the sun's surface is full of *****. That is why the sunspots are going crazy. Get a life siszam!
- spudnic, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15Wonder how he'll explain the heatwave that's said to be on its way
- Crimsoneer, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15Wow, god must have gotten weak since the days of Noah's Ark...Old age...
- Hayaemsay, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13You're saying god created me and the broken condom is not to blame?
- berrystny, on 10/11/2007, -3/+16Everyone should watch the documentary "Deliver Us from Evil" to get a good, hard look into the church and how it's truly run. As always, these "holy men" seem to have the "Do as I say, not as I do mentality."
- glittalogik, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13Pillar of salt or it didn't happen. The Church (any of 'em, take your pick) is a farcical perversion of spiritual understanding. I can't believe people are still giving them money.
- yhan, on 10/11/2007, -2/+14I happen to believe that you and him are at the same level of knowing the judgment of an inexistent being.
- signal15, on 10/11/2007, -2/+13The crazies are starting to come out of the woodwork. Lately, it seems that more and more of them are preaching the end, or preaching all sorts of mystical and magical stuff. It's like we're back in Medieval times. What the hell compels people to be so clueless?
- nimms, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11I assume there were no floods before the british government legitimized gay marriage??
- slicedoranges, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Hey, wait a second, didn't God promise never for this to happen again?
- RussellDovey, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11AIDS kills far more women and children than homosexual males. So the whole "Gay Plague" hypothesis doesn't really add up. Find another crazy theory.
- VIrus9, on 10/11/2007, -2/+12Yeah, I've had a team working on this over the past few weeks, and what we've come up with can be reduced to two fundamental concepts. One: People aren't wearing enough hats. Two: Matter is energy. In the universe there are many energy fields which we cannot normally perceive. Some energies have a spiritual source which act upon a person's soul. However, this "soul" does not exist ab initio as orthodox Christianity teaches; it has to be brought into existence by a process of guided self-observation. However, this is rarely achieved owing to man's unique ability to be distracted from spiritual matters by everyday trivia.
- brentris, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11When I learned about God in my catholic school years ago, I was taught that God's judgment only came when we die, and that God can't sweep down and hit me w/ lightning or steal my ice cream or something stupid.
- Bananas21ca, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10No, just you
- redpixie, on 10/11/2007, -2/+12The human body is an absolute shambles. There are so many flaws with the human body. The human eye has a blind-spot, high prevalence of color-blindness, glaucoma and macular degeneration, and almost everyone experiences reduced vision past their 20's. We also have vestigial structures such as the appendix, coccyx, wisdom teeth and plica semilunaris. It's a malfunctioning piece of crap with structures we no longer need, thanks to evolution. To top it all off, we don't produce vitamin C.
As for the creation of universes, CERN, RHIC and SLAC are producing mini-universes and black holes in a lab setting. Let's also not forget that Ventor has begun to create whole new life forms. Humans are doing the creating, shall we just call them god from now on?! - mal1964, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9Don't worry I already got the animals I'm just waiting on the inspector to OK the Ark seaworthy.
- oxdeltaxo, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11The heavily religious still have their head up their own ass? What's new?
- covertbadger, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10If God designed the human body, he's a hamfisted cretin. The fact that you hold it up as an example of the work of an omnipotent being shows that your knowledge of biology is as lacking as your grasp of critical thinking.
- mithrasinvictus, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8"He has been very patient for a very long time."
Yes he has been far too patient, with bigots like you cherry picking the holy scriptures as you see fit and having the insolence to claim to speak the Lords mind and claiming to pass judgment in His name.
I nominate you for eternal damnation, - Cymrubeats, on 10/11/2007, -3/+11Jesus built my hotrod
- eatasandwich, on 10/11/2007, -3/+10I'm an Atheist and I used to live in England, but I moved away. Strangely, water did spill onto my bathroom floor when my girlfriend joined me in the tub the other day. I live on the west coast of America. I just thought I would throw that out there in case any religious people want to move away from me.
I love that these stories are getting more common. - fweeky, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7They haven't stoned to death enough homosexuals, adulterers and people who've sworn at their parents.
They're also *way* behind on their excessive drinking quota: "This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Drink, get drunk and vomit, and fall to rise no more" - Jeremiah 25:27 - kazamx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I don't care if they have their heads up their own asses. My problem is their ***** covered head keeps getting in my face. If you want to have your head up your ass thats fine by me, but just keep it the hell away from me
- RussellDovey, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Oh come on, the Buddha only taught us the meaning of EXISTENCE (it's bad, stop doing it) not LIFE. There's a difference, you know.
- Barlo_Mung, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6So this god of your's is now restricted to any flood that doesn't cover the whole planet? Nice of him on that I guess.
- Hetman, on 10/11/2007, -3/+9Thank science that this is not just an American problem. I honestly thought we were the only ones left with crazy Christians running around acting a fool. I guess it is a double edge sword though. Now I have to worry about crazy ass christians on two continents.
- Matri, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6He lied.
- redpixie, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7What about them? If you think that killing in the name of a god is a new phenomena you have a lot to learn.
