Why do hurricanes always hit the Bible Belt of America?

Question

How many church socials are being canceled due to evacuation?

<raised eyebrow in knowing fashion> Do you think Allah is trying to tell us something?

Answer 1

I believe that the hurricane is hitting the &quot;bible belt&quot; of America because of natural causes.

Answer 2

naw man, that&#039;s just nature at work, but it seems like nobody wants to understand that. even till today there are people, like you, who think that hurricanes, volcanoes, and storms are caused by magic men in the sky.

Answer 3

Thankfully hurricanes do not hit people who ask lame questions.

Answer 4

Like earthquakes only hit the bible belt.

Answer 5

Allah by translation is God. Hurricanes only occur in our part of the world, emanating from the tropics, where else could they hit besides what you refer to as the Bible belt?

Answer 6

Just happens to be more in your face blatant sinning in that area. Nothin&#039; ta do wit geography.

Answer 7

God is pissed that Evangelical Christians keep using his name to justify violence.

Answer 8

They like to be tested

Answer 9

God is preparing them for the next flood.

Answer 11

I thought it was because of geographical and meteorological reasons for that...are typhoons Buddha&#039;s way of punishing his followers in Asia?

Answer 12

I am pretty sure it&#039;s due to the geographical conditions of the areas.Just like why there are droughts and extreme heat in the Middle East.

Answer 13

Geography.

Answer 14

idk. Do you think he was trying to tell us something when he sent tsunamis to kill 100,000 people in Indonesia (the largest muslim country in the world)?.

By the way, did you notice how quickly Christian countries come to the aid of muslim counties during disasters.

When was the last time you heard a muslim country helping anyone but themselves?

Answer 15

the location of hurricanes based on how weather patterns interact

any social operations within the area are just coincidence

one thing to note however is that i did the calculations to estimate what a 1 degree increase in the average surface temperature of the gulf of mexico would do and the results were pretty crazy

one definite, non arguable result of global warming will be the most insane hurricanes ever

i live in the north east and from time to time hurricanes travel up the east coast and hit this area so that analysis is not correct

why do earth quakes hit california

why do arab muslims slaughter african muslims

why do human beings knowingly threaten their own existence

Answer 16

Where exactly would you expect them to strike...in Colorado, North Dakota or maybe Alaska?

Thing is, I think the bible belt is located where it is in part because that region is vulnerable to hurricanes!  For one, when you live in a shooting gallery where &quot;acts of God&quot; (hurricanes, tornados, etc...) regularly threaten your life and property, you are far more likely to seek protection from a God.  

More importantly, that region of the country is the agricultural center of the US.  

Any number of factors (e.g., rain provided by the Gulf and regular hurricanes in the summer months, warmer temperatures, fertile soil carried from the north by a really big river and other smaller rivers, etc...) combined to make the bible belt the best farmland in the country...and no one is more vulnerable to weather-related phenomena (floods, tornados, hurricanes, drought, etc...) than a farmer.  

For a couple of hundred years, that region was largely populated by farmers who had no hope of predicting or controlling climate factors that threatened their survival every year...it is hardly surprising they would look for some comfort in faith in a God that promised to provide for their needs!!!

They still get hit by hurricanes because hurricanes are a force of nature...one that has always affected that region of the country (along wiith other fun &quot;acts of God&quot;)...and one we have thankfully learned enough about to take precautions (I live on the coast in Texas...put the shutters on yesterday!!!).

Answer 17

(Hysterically laughing) Because the Earth is punishing people for being ignorant, being misogynists, etc. LOL.

EDIT: I agree with Autumn. And because the Earth is mad that evangelicals are using the Bible to justify hatred, and forcing their conservative views on others.
