I know why Katrina happened |
|
The fundamentalist christians say it is god punishing the wicked, gays, and abortionists etc.
The fundamentalist jews say it is god punishing because of our treatment of israel
The fundamentalist muslims say it is god punishing us because our support of israel and attack against arabs
GEE, I wonder what the buddists think?

they're all a bunch of hateful religious fanatics who have no compassion for human suffering whatsoever. If that is what God is about, all of you can take your God, and shove him up your collective fanatic assholes. A God like that is nothing more than a monster, and you cannot compel me to worship him / her / it. Get your Christian / Muslim / Jewish / Buddhist asses to NO and do what you can to relieve the suffering, or shut the fuck up.

6. Dylan wrote a song about this |
|
Oh my name it is nothin' My age it means less The country I come from Is called the Midwest I's taught and brought up there The laws to abide And that land that I live in Has God on its side.
Oh the history books tell it They tell it so well The cavalries charged The Indians fell The cavalries charged The Indians died Oh the country was young With God on its side.
Oh the Spanish-American War had its day And the Civil War too Was soon laid away And the names of the heroes I's made to memorize With guns in their hands And God on their side.
Oh the First World War, boys It closed out its fate The reason for fighting I never got straight But I learned to accept it Accept it with pride For you don't count the dead When God's on your side.
When the Second World War Came to an end We forgave the Germans And we were friends Though they murdered six million In the ovens they fried The Germans now too Have God on their side.
I've learned to hate Russians All through my whole life If another war starts It's them we must fight To hate them and fear them To run and to hide And accept it all bravely With God on my side.
But now we got weapons Of the chemical dust If fire them we're forced to Then fire them we must One push of the button And a shot the world wide And you never ask questions When God's on your side.
In a many dark hour I've been thinkin' about this That Jesus Christ Was betrayed by a kiss But I can't think for you You'll have to decide Whether Judas Iscariot Had God on his side.
So now as I'm leavin' I'm weary as Hell The confusion I'm feelin' Ain't no tongue can tell The words fill my head And fall to the floor If God's on our side He'll stop the next war.

4. That the fundamentalists are punishing us |
|
because God will not.
"A monk asked Tozan, "How can we escape the cold and heat?" Tozan replied, "Why not go where there is no cold and heat?" "Is there such a place?" the monk asked. Tozan commented, "When cold, be thoroughly cold; when hot, be hot through and through."

We must destroy the Sun immediately!
Let's throw every weapon we've got at it.
I recommend a night assault.

10. I say it is a side affect of Global Warming(making it stronger/morelikely) |
|
Edited on Tue Sep-06-05 01:11 AM by jsamuel
Tampa, FL has reported that the Gulf Stream has slowed down due to environmental factors...
This causes a more stagnant Gulf of Mexico and thus increases the temp of the Gulf. This causes hurricanes to be more likely to happen and stronger when they pass through the Gulf.

12. The buddhists think that looking for cause is futility |
|
you are better served looking for the solution, and the solution is compassion in action.

16. Some irony considering how many places of worship it destroyed. |
|
Edited on Tue Sep-06-05 01:28 AM by Endangered Specie
:shrug:
This agnostic says its because the religious nutjobs have been too busy fighting with each other and we up and forgot about little things like science and engineering... specifically meterology and urban planning.

17. Some astrologers will tell you it happened b/c of Junior's Saturn return |
|
A Saturn return (once every 28 years) brings the taskmaster planet Saturn back to the position it was at your birth. If you've been building bad karma, this is the time when it bites you in the ass.

19. Well, it was God's fault, of course! |
|
Don't they call these natural disasters acts of god? That means the US was attacked by Heaven, specifically by Osama bin Godden. And the next logical step, if Hesitant Bush repeats himself, would be to attack Purgatory instead, because that's where all the Hurricanes of Mass Destruction (HMDs) are hidden.

20. "Osama bin Godden" LOL!!! |

Attacking Purgatory can't be any worse than attacking Iraq.
