Agreed. I checked out CNN too and noticed that you didn't have to scroll down much at all to get back to 'news' about Charlie Sheen. I've come to rather like that guy, but I really hope he doesn't start telling people he's an atheist - his 'warlock' references suit me just fine.

Im waiting to see the all the "Thank God more people aren't hurt" or some similar nonsense missing the idea that God didn't prevent in the first place.

I was pumping gas a little bit ago and started talking to the old man on the other side of the pump about the wildfires surrounding Oklahoma City, the earthquake/tsunami in Japan, and the volcano erupting in Indonesia. I said something like, "It's been a crazy 24 hours for nature, huh?" He said, "It just goes to show that God is in control. We're in the end times." I wanted to argue, but I decided to just finish pumping and drive away. Another point deduction for my state.

I've heard a lot of 'end times' stuff in my life: soviets; ice age; growing number of gays; HIV/AIDS; star wars; ebola; harmonic alignment; Y2K/millenium; millenium 2 (they forgot about there being no year 0; global warming; swine/avian flu; climate change; 2012; now 2011 apparently.

 

I do think we are at a significant turning point, though, because of passing peak oil.  Even if we haven't, it seem inevitable that every drop of petroleum from a few years ago forward is getting more expensive, not just economically but socially as well.  It seems to me that this pressure is going to increase and force us to accept a lot of changes and the next few decades are going to be quite stressful.  This can't be defined by a single day so I guess it isn't easy to factor in to an end times mythology.

If god didn't stop thd tsunami before it started, due to reasons: this god is infinitely perverse and sadistic or this deity is a fantasy. Almost for sure that besides to be a silly thing is a fraud.

Yes everyone pray for the poor Japanese.  And while we have his attention, lets all ask god why he's such a dick.

Have there been no rainbows in Japan? God promises to not flood the world via rainbows...

So is god responsible for the nuclear reactor failing, or is that just the fact that humanity put a nuclear fucking reactor on an unstable island?

I thought god loved nuclear energy? Why is he so mad at it now?

*facepalm*

This is the best I could do in the situation.  I took my family to a Japanese Restaurant, had a great meal and left a big tip.
