Why do you think this is?

To me this looks like those 2 earth quakes are on the continuation of the San Andreas Fault.

Ok I saw this video and what the guy is saying is ridiculous. He's saying a huge earthquake will hit Southern California in 2010 because of Hollywood and how much sin there is. So I disputed this claim by saying that sin and Hollywood have nothing to do with this and he disputed this by saying:


"It sounds like you have had some negative experiences with religion. Faith and science do not have to be in conflict. Even science shows that bad decisions lead to natural breakdowns. For example, we stay angry or anxious about things and it leads to higher blood pressure and heart disease."

Then someone posted a comment about that article in the L.A. times and the guy says:

"I saw this article as well. The Lord is gracious in warning His people. Let us listen to the many voices in which he is speaking."

Here's the video, ridiculous comments included:

Wow! Dewey from Malcolm in the Middle grew up and got real serious-like.
No mention of giant ants, but I must admit that I cut him short at the 5-second mark.

Did anyone actually listen to that Temecula yay-hoo? Did he specifically say a date? I can't put myself through that torture.

Yes I did listen and he just said "god was talking to him." "Hollywood is sin" "The massive quake will effect all of Southern California in 2010" Then he started talking about some Discovery Channel documentary on earthquakes or something.

The stupid thing about it is that he acts as if California is the only place with "sin".
