I wonder if they'll ever consider that an almighty god could, you know, NOT send the hurricane instead.
The democrats control the weather and sent the hurricane.
But climate change is not real and man can't affect the weather.
Odd then that they didn't send rain when CA was burning or hail on J6 or some such.
And apparently the Democratic party is more powerful than their god.
So then their god can stop the hurricane and the democrats, right? 🤣
It's god way to test our faith
Religion is great like that.
The two choices of why are always:
[ ] Punishment [ ] Test faith
I thought it was enough to not be a murder, a thief or a cheater. Well, you also shouldn't sell your soul to the devil.
Once you've sold it, no storm will save you. If you haven't sold it, you don't need a storm.
I think they're so scared of god and think they have to be tested, because they already failed and have sinned by being envious, hateful or greedy.
Then how would he punish the gay people?
By making the bottoms attracted to other bottoms and the tops attracted to other tops I think. He seems to get a chuckle out of that.
Maybe like this??
"Gods calling me!" Means the same thing as "I'm stupid and think I'm important."
