To the Wackos who think Katrina hit because of Gays or Abortion

Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 08:06 AM by ck4829

A hurricane is a type of tropical cyclone, which is a generic term for a low-pressure system that generally forms in the tropics. The cyclone is accompanied by thunderstorms and, in the Northern Hemisphere, a counterclockwise circulation of winds near the Earth's surface.

The ingredients for a hurricane include a pre-existing weather disturbance, warm tropical oceans, moisture, and relatively light winds aloft. If the right conditions persist long enough, they can combine to produce the violent winds, incredible waves, torrential rains, and floods we associate with this phenomenon.

1. I always liked the legend that hurricanes are paybacks for slavery

Most hurricanes start off the coast of Africa which ironically was where we got the bulk of the slaves we drug over to america back pre-civil war. I once read a rant that hurricanes were Africa's way of punishing us for what we did to Africa.

That's a legend that I can live with!

2. That's all "just a theory"...

...which, at best, should only be taught side-by-side with "intelligent retribution." :crazy:

6. "Intelligent Retribution". WOW

Crankie,

That's a turn of genius! You should send that to Bobby Henderson, founder and high prophet of Pastafarianism - perhaps he can fold it into his manifesto. Man, that's genius. Bravo!

4. not to mention the fact that...

if god was trying to punish for gays or abortion...he was pretty damn indiscriminate about it...

How many god-fearing Christians were killed or have lost their homes throughout the states hit?

And if it's for gays...why the hell is San Francisco still there? :shrug:

5. Haven't you heard the theory of "Intelligent Catastrophe"?

That's the one where God says, "Worship and love me or I'll kill every stinking one of you. Watch this!"
