It was Mother Earth's revenge after years of abuse by the hand of man.

Just thought I'd throw that out there to counter the 'Gawd Squad'.



p.s. - No! I'm NOT having fun at the expense of the people affected.

1. "It was Mother Earth's revenge after years of abuse by the hand of man."

It was tectonic forces that we still don't fully understand. But if metaphysics makes you happy, go with it. ;)

4. yes... it's a joke!

Chill people, I was just being silly (not very successfully) in response to all this 'it's God plan' crap.

6. Here's the problem about making jokes of that nature:

We've already seen that the RW idiot mentally-challenged partisan AM radio-listening selfish bastard douchebags like to take quotes like that from DU to discredit the members of this site. You shouldn't help them. In fact, this would be a better topic in the Lounge, followed by the appropriate "I'm just making a joke" smiley.

3. That's like saying

That's just like saying that AIDS victims got that way because God wanted to punish homosexuals and intervenes drug users.

But still there is much science we don't know about and although it cannot be proved it is obvious that there is a climate change going on.

Lets get God out of the picture and let the scientists do their work. I'm not dissing God. God was not a scientist. He's the Prince of Peace. Too bad he's been kidnapped and is being held for ransom.
