The Heartland Foundation, who have real scientists, have said it was just a bunch of big trees falling in the forest.

No earthquake. It's all a hoax, folks. Follow the money! Those damned scientists get big bucks to do research, and this is not an earthquake. It's junk science.

lol...

We felt it here in NE Ohio. I thought that I was having a dizzy spell until one of my co-workers was like "did you feel that?" Once I heard that I knew what it was, as I've felt them here before. My boss didn't feel it, so he didn't believe us, until I got the email from my wife asking if we felt it too.

Doesn't stop people like Pat Robertson from blaming the Haitaian and Japan earthquakes on God's judgement for past misdeeds.

If God is running the whole show right down to making earthquakes happen,then it stands to reason that God put Obama in the white house

Hammertime are you saying God made a mistake?
And if God is so hands on with our lives that he is determining geological events dont you think everything is pre ordained and no matter how much you try to change you are locked into the path he has chosen for you..

No.

God does not punish. The illusion that God does punish is why we've created so many gods in the first place. Look at mythology... they are but moral lessons to be learned. If taken literally, you've got what we have here... holy wars, religions, etc.

It's no wonder we have a growing population of atheists.

The paradox of free will is that it isn't so free. If you want to please your "god/God", you must submit your will. If you go against your god/God, what are the immediate consequences?

Let's look back in history... say WAY back. Now just work with me for a second... what if God went to Lucifer and to Jesus... and asked, "How should we go about creating humans... and in what fashion should insure their well-being?

Lucifer came up with a system where each individual had his/her own "angel" watching after them and order and obedience would be demanded.

Jesus said, "Let's give them free will. Their human condition will overtake them, but I will become man, be crucified, and atone for all of their sins."

God said, "KEWL BE UNTO JESUS... NICE TRY LUCY."

Lucifer stormed and stomped off and never has gotten over it since.

So... raise your hand if you think God punishes?

PS, this thread is in the proper place... P&OC.

Gotta be the Tea Party's fault. They've been saying they're going to shake things up in Washington.

Lucifer stormed and stomped off? Here all this time I thought he was cast from the heavens.

Still, there was no earthquake. It was trees falling in the forest, and anyone who tells you differently is lying. They are high paid scientist who manipulate the data to get more grant money. It's all an illusion and a hoax.
