Tony Perkins, president of the anti-gay religious lobbying group the Family Research Council, had his home destroyed by the massive flooding ravaging Southern Louisiana this week.


Although no one wants to celebrate a person losing their home, the destruction of Perkins’ house isn’t without irony, considering that he’s claimed in the past that natural disasters are God’s way of punishing an increasingly gay-friendly world.


Calling into his own radio show, Perkins described the flood as being of “biblical proportions,” adding that he and his family will have to live in a camper for 6 months until the damage is repaired.


But Perkins was careful to point out that this particular flood wasn’t because of the gays, but rather an “incredible, encouraging spiritual exercise to take you to the next level in your walk with an almighty and gracious God who does all things well.”

I find this quite amusing. I suppose that makes me a bad man.

 
Well I don't really believe in sending disasters to punish because the punisher then becomes a saint?

I use this argument when the evangelists come to the door.

I tell them Hitler must be in heaven because he's doing god's will in starting a war.

Yeah, I'm bad, too. I will admit to having a good snicker over this. I love it how he had to point out that "this particular storm" isn't punishing the gays this time......because, you know, with him being punished too, it just might make people think that he's...well....you know.....

No, God has nothing to do with this. If God used weather to punish sinners, there would be no one left on earth.

Except Noah and the animals...but then God sent a rainbow as a sign of his promise to never flood the whole earth again. The flood in Texas can only be blamed on one of 2 things...satan, or natural consequences (if you believe global warming caused it and that man caused the global warming).

With that said, God does allow suffering of good people sometimes for more reasons than our minds can even fathom...to test our faith, to build empathy, to test who will reach out to help (because love is the whole reason for our existence. ~1 Corinthians 13), to bring us into a closer relationship with God, to teach the Gifts of the Spirit which are love, peace, joy, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, self-control, and faithfulness. ~Galatians 5:22

Yes, it made me snicker also. Such arrogance.

About the same. Lots of rain, but not enough to be a problem.

Good one.. :)
 
I personally don't know Mr. Perkins. I assume he is a good and caring person. And I hope he and his family are safe and sound. Are we supposed to just kill all the gays and then we won't have another hurricane? Who do we have to kill to prevent earthquakes? I guess we randomly start killing Asians to stop Tsunamis? Who do we kill to stop rust?

I'm assuming he and Jerry Falwell were good buddies. Jerry was known to express the opinion that Florida had hurricanes because of gay flag waving and that Haiti had the big earthquake because of a pact with the Devil. Where do these people get off?

They seem eager to remake a creator in their own image. I am not fond of smiter Gods myself. The older I become, the more I am drawn to the feminine face of God.
 
Storms??? Natural disasters? Droughts?? Floods? The ARE God's fault.

God is EXTREMELY old. As we on this forum know, the older you get the more difficult it is to multi-task and we also become forgetful. There are billions more people on Earth than when God was just a kid... when his mental faculties were sharp. Now, he'll hear one region calling for rain. He'll turn the faucet on, go off to answer someone else's request, and forget to turn the faucet off. All of a sudden an area is flooded. He rushes back to turn off the water. Then, he forgets to turn it back on and the area suffers a drought. Don't you guys understand how difficult it is to keep track of all the weather needs of this globe? Then, with the bajillion other inhabited planets in Space.... one of these days, God needs to just retire and turn it over to a younger generation!!!!
