Haiti's Pact with Satan

Posted By jess tauber
Pat Robertson, on air, claimed Haiti's massive earthquake, which may have claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, was divine retribution for a devil's bargain in the 18th century to get the French overlords off the island.

And people believe this fecal matter, too.

Yesterday I read on the science feeds that a study had shown that conservatives were far more likely to blame victims for their woes, especially if they had racist biases.

So its all of a piece, boys and girls (well, boys anyway on AM).

When Earth goes, does everyone else go too??

Posted By jess tauber
The inspired writers of the bible (whom God in his infinite wisdom forgot to tell about cosmology...) thought that the world would be coming to an end. OK, fine, the world. Heaven was forever.

Is that a spiritual heaven only, or does in include the material too? IIRC, Thomas Jefferson refused to believe reports about rocks falling out of the sky due to prevailing ideas in those days about the nature of stuff 'up there'. Quintessences and all that.

Assuming a Universe umpteen billions of light years across, and a rather large number of planets, who knows how many inhabited, is God planning on ripping all this up when its our turn for the frying pan? Does this mean that he punishes everyone for our sins? Or has he coordinated everything (spiritual entanglement?) so that we all deserve to go simultaneously (though given relativity 'simultaneous' ain't what it used to be (or will be?).

I'm just so confused :S

What exactly was the motivation for the cancellation, and how much of that has to do with conservative Christianity?

Yet another hominid species coexisting with Neanderthals and others.

Boy that was some Plan by God there. An entire human zoo. I guess some of us were just more special than others, like in Animal Farm.

See how much you miss when you think the world is only 15 minutes old?
