I was just reading the projected path of Hurricane Earl. It looks as though it will hit Washington D.C. this week. Notice that Obama is suppose to meet with Abbas/Bibbi tomorrow.
I think our father is sending a clear message!!!!!

Ever notice how your omnipotent god can only send messages in the form of commonly occuring weather phenomena? Now a hurricane in my part of Europe, that would be unexpected and such, but you rarely see one despite us being kind of secular and stuff.
"I think our father is sending a clear message!!!!!"
Yeah, because stop killing each other is such a weird idea ....
I was just reading the projected path of Hurricane Earl. It looks as though it will hit Washington D.C. this week.
So why did every single protected path I saw made no indication whatsoever that it would strike DC. Having lived on the eastern shore of Maryland most of my life, I can tell you in no uncertain terms that a hurricance coming into the Cheseapeke is a very, very rare event.
Notice that Obama is suppose to meet with Abbas/Bibbi tomorrow.
So your "god" sent a hurricane to prevent a peace talks between the Israelis and Palistinians. So much for a loving and benevolent god tat allows us free will.
I think our father is sending a clear message!!!!!
Apparently not, seeing as how it didn't even come close.
Yes, the message is loud and clear, "fundies are dumb!"
And we'll see you in Hell. You're warping the Word of God (TM). The central crux of Christianity is that Christ died for everyone's sins. That is why he doesn't smite anymore. The debt has already been paid.
Stop rewriting the Bible. Look at the very last sentence. See you in Hell.
Ah yes the past couple of days in DC have been lovely. It's going to be hot for the next few though, that's about it. @Giveitaday, pretty much on the money. The worst I can remember was when hurricane Isabel hit, and that was almost 10 years ago.
And the weather in DC has been absolutely beautiful for days. Hurricane Earl was a complete bust.
So,
a) Your God screwed up
b) God doesn't use weather to send messages
b) God was sending a message, of support for Obama's Middle Eastern plans.
In any case, you lose.
And when it does absolutely nothing, will that be a clear message that Obama is A-okay by your Space Ghost and you fuckwits should shut the hell up and accept it? No, of course not. It's only a message from Jeebus Hisself when the Teabag Collective says it is.
"I think our father is sending a clear message!!!!!"
Please stop touching yourselves! I hate it when you touch yourselves!!
Mum, my monkeys are touching themselves again!!!
AAAAAHH!!
"I think our father is sending a clear message!!!!!"
And that message is as follows:

Are you aware that threatening the president, even in jest, is a serious crime? Also the fact that by your own admission, there's at least two of you involved, means that you qualify for prosecution under the RICO Act.
If God's giant hand came out of the sky, formed an atomic fist, and smashed the top ten secular cities in the world, THAT would a "clear message".
And look what happened.

Your God has sucky aim.
Jeez, I hyped about this thing fearing it'd hit Massachusetts. But I learned moar, and I didn't fear as much. Knowledge is power, kids.
A clear message?
No. I don't think so. A clear message would be if God spoke directly to humans. He does not, so your version of 'a clear message' ia what YOU want it to be. That is making a prophet of yourself - a false prophet, I believe. And what is the punishment that your boble says is to be meted out to false prophets? Death. Porr Father's Child. May s/he rest in hell.
My hurricane translator makes it out to be:
Sardines, yo-yo bunched underwear pile driver whiskey tango foxtrot? Elanor Roosevelt.
I think your god is as batshit crazy as you are.
So a hurricane forming during hurricane season is a "clear message" to send? Why doesn't he just get a cell phone and call us instead? Less damage, more direct, and better idea of what he's trying to say.
Hurricane Earl does show that God is angry with D.C. Many people in D.C. vacation in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, which had to be evacuated. Hey, it makes at least as much sense as the original.
These jackasses are caught up in the loony bin. Deal is, they've been so brainwashed into thinking everything is evil that even a storm is somehow a message from G-d. Never mind the fact that storms, like fires and floods, tend not to discriminate who they kill, religious of all religions or non religious people.
So, becaues Obama is meeting with Abbas -- the entire Atlantic Coast has to be punished?
I've said it once and I'll say it again -- your God has piss poor aim.
Unlike many of the posters here, I am a conservative libertarian and disagree with most of Obama's economic and domestic policies. I also happen to be a Christian (of theoligically liberal bent).
But of all the things God could be upset about, why on earth would this be it? Giving credit where credit is due, Obama has done a pretty decent job in restoring the United States' ability to act as a global peacebroker, and considering that the Bible encourages believers to "pray for the peace of Jerusalem," I would think God would be happy to see Obama at least giving peace talks the ol' college try. (As most other sitting presidents have done in recent years.)
Your god's politics kind of suck. I mean, he could have sent a hurricane to stop the unconstitituonal health care bill or block the government from challenging Arizona's immigration law... but NO... he has to wait until Obama does something that's actually pretty ok and then he gets pissy about it. What's up with that? How can you Republicans (which I'm guessing you are) support such a God, anyway?
Wait, wait, I get it. The message was to Abbas and Netanyahu... kind of like "Get along, kids, or daddy's going to take you out to the woodshed," right? That would almost make your concept of God rational again.
Actually, it kinda swerved right past us untouched, I should know, I live in the Delmarva area.
Another fundie theory excuse bites the dust, although using his logic I guess God finds favor on Obama, but seeing as how the Outer Bank towns like Nags Head and Kitty Hawk were hit the hardest I guess God doesn't like the Wright Brothers.

True Story !
[/Pat Robertson]
As other posters have mentioned, hurricanes rarely hit DC. All they ever get is the tail end of what is usually a tropical storm by the time it even hits Delmarva. God isn't very bright if he thinks sending a storm to ravage the Atlantic Coast but more or less leave DC alone, will teach our Capitol a lesson.
And if Earl is all the Big G has to throw at us, I'm not impressed at all. I live in an area of the Eastern Shore that was right under the projected path of Earl (technically a tropical storm by that point). I went out with friends the night it was supposed to hit and accidentally left the windows in my truck down. When I got back to it the next morning the seat was kinda damp but that was about it. Hell, the causeway to Chincoteague Island stayed open.
Yeah, yeah, it could just as easily be a response to Glenn Beck's hijacking of the civil rights movement, but that couldn't be possible because God always conveniently agrees with you in making his vaguely targeted attacks...
Perhaps it's God warning America what will happen to us all if the theological snake-oil pushers and the teabaggers who follow them are allowed to gain, keep and hold the reigns of power in this country.
Not that I actually believe this, but still...
You know what would be a clear message?
The clouds parting and a monstrously loud voice booming down from the sky "KNOCK IT THE FUCK OFF AND DO X".
That would be a clear message.
A hurricane going toward one location and hitting lots of shit on the way, doing tons of collateral damage, is not a clear message.
Funny how your god's aim is absolutely terrible.
If a thousand years is like a day to god, maybe he's all tweaked about something from a long time back, maybe what one old Indian tribe was doing.
Then again, there's the thing with his aim.
Shit, it could as well be he's mad at the dinosaurs in Europe.
Or on Mars.
It passed east of Massachusetts. Just a rainy, breezy night in Worcester. It was stronger over the outer Cape, where you might want to stay out of the water because of rip currents. If that's the worst the Supreme Being can do to a sinful place like P-Town, he's an underachiever.
FathersChild,
Please, please, please predict that I WON'T win the lottery this week. I really need to win $50 million.

Hurricanes move along the coast, it just so happens Washington D.C. is near the coast, stop saying goddidit, you're only making yourself seem less and less credible.
Guess what it didn't even come ashore what now assholes?
I like how Louisiana has more churches than any other state in the US but keeps getting pounded by natural disasters. See I can play this game too.
I think our father is sending a clear message!!!!!
Yeah, mainly that if we don't start all being bible banging Christians, God will send the edge of a hurricane to swipe part of the East Coast causing no damage and bringing pleasant weather.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
