Atheists-Does a hurricane hitting New Orleans during the Republican convention make you reconsider...?

Question

...your disbelief in God?? I think we are getting a message.

Answer 1

I keep seeing this and don't get what it means.  Are you aware that the convention was never to be held in New Orleans?  It's being held in Minnesota.  If a hurricane hit there perhaps your question would make some sense but it's still offensive to make light of the suffering people have endured and will endure.

Answer 2

What an asinine  assumption. I think the message we're getting has something to do with your delusional gullibility.  

Answer 3

No, but I do savor the delicious irony.Then I slap my mental self for being a jerk as people might be in danger.  

Answer 4

Oh please.  Do you line your hat with aluminum foil?

Answer 5

God is such a clumsy oaf, he'd use a nuke to swat a mosquito and then everyone tries to figure out which of the ten thousand victims was the intended target. God seems to be a big proponent of collateral damage.

Answer 6

When a natural disaster happens one could read anything they want into it. How do you know there isn't a big drug dealer in N.O. that the hurricane is supposed to take out.

This is one reason that I left the religion over 20 years ago. There are too many knuckleheads in it.

Answer 7

As much as I'd like to gloat at the irony of a hurricane hitting the same time as the RNC convention (with Dobson's little prayer for rain), people have already died from this storm, and looks like more probably will when it makes landfall in Louisiana.

Answer 8

Well, you're wrong. Hurricanes work due to well established natural principles, and it just happens that the US party conventions tend to be scheduled near to hurricane season. Thats called a coincidence. If you wish to suggest that it has more meaning than that, YOU bear The Burden Of Proof for YOUR claim.

No proof offered ? Claim fails.  

Answer 9

It's a sign Mccain's the Anti- christ.

Answer 10

New Orleans is on the coast.  It's practically a highway for hurricanes.  So, no, I don't see it as proof of God.  Also, isn't the Republican party supposed to be the religious right?  I thought God would like the Republicans.  Oh well.

Answer 11

That a republican shouldn't be in office?

If that's what God is trying to tell us then....i suggest you listen!

Answer 12

lol!

Answer 13

Not really.

Answer 14

If there really is a God, and he hit New Orleans with some weather specifically for that reason...he just gained at least 50 cool points with me.  

Answer 15

This die hard Democrat atheist hates this question.

There are real people involved here, not just politicians.  

Answer 16

No. However, there is a huge amount of irony in the idea of a powerful hurricane - fueled by global warming - coming to land on the first night of the Repug convention. Hmmmm. I'm sorry for the people of New Orleans, and plan on helping out with contributions of food, blankets, and money - but the whole time, I'm going to be thinking... "Hmmmm"

Answer 17

If natural disasters are nature.. and nature is science.. and I'm an advocate for science.. why would I turn to something that is completely illogical to me?
