Heads up! Falwell opines: Is God mad at us? CBS Early Show
I just heard a preview of the CBS Early Show and they are to have a panel discussion about all of the recent natural disasters, and whether they are punishment from God. Falwell will be one of the participants.

Any bets as to who that idiot Falwell will blame this time?

7. Yeah, Falwell's God is a very flawed, angry and out-of-control being
who indiscriminately "punishes" innocent victims for things over which they have no control.

38. My knowledge of religious myth tells me Falwell's God is Zeus
Always angry, doing what he wants, hurling thunderbolts at people. Of course, he could have collapsed Zeus and Poseidon together. Poseidon was in charge of the sea and earthquakes. And both were very angry all the time about some such thing. Unlike Jesus' God, who demanded true righteousness.

And he wants all the money you've been collecting in his name.

6. Of course he's mad
We elected a madman to the White House. We use God's name to justify inhumane actions. If I was God, and hopefully one day I will be, I'd be pretty pissed off too.

11. it's real simply, mr falwell, dear -
there is such a thing as science. god created it. these things come in cycles, and when you disobey the will of god / science and destroy the environment, this is what you get. buy a clue, you freak.

12. If God is mad at us, why doesn't he go on tv and tell us to shape up?
It would save him from having to sort out the sudden influx of good and bad people from all these natural disasters.

If he were really upset, why not just drop an astroid on the white house?

16. Will the question be asked to Jerry: Since Jesus is lord, maybe
he is pissed off at you and others like you and all this American commercialized Christianity. You are endorsing the policies of a man who is hurting people that Jesus stood up for. The Jesus I know would be no fan of killing innocents in the Iraq War. Do you think the Media will make this counter pointin the interview? Some of what Jesus about the rich would make a Marxist blush. Uhhh Jerry, who is our President right now? Things looked pretty good and stable under Godless Clinton. Jerry knows better than to go where they take phone calls like Cspan, he knows that this commercial media is pink tutu, and no reporter is going to challenge him back with Religion their fear these idiots will get bad and start a boycott and that is bad for business.

17. Falwell: "God is trying to get our attention."
The Rapture is coming! The Rapture is coming!

Bill Nye (the science guy) says more people living so close to the coast, the destruction of the environment & wetlands, global warming are the cause. OMG! SCIENCE!

30. This is how an omnipotent, omniscient God tries to get our attention?
Edited on Fri Oct-14-05 07:53 AM by deutsey
Seems to me such a Deity could figure out some better way to unequivocally get our attention.

34. Yeah, Falwell's god is mean, vindictive and STUPID
I was taught that we are all created in God's image.

Apparently Falwell has created a god in Falwell's own image. And what a coincidence! Falwell's god hates the same people that Falwell hates!

32. Really? So then it's the Myth of the Angry Bearded Man in the Sky?
Is THAT who's to blame for all these storms?

That fat, over-paid bloviating huckster would tell you that "Angels of Light" make a lightbulb work if he thought it would be worth $50 to you to be told that.

400 years on this continent, and we still believe fairy stories and think when GAWD farts, it makes thunder....

23. Jerry needs to get busy praying and leave the TV to Bush!
Edited on Fri Oct-14-05 07:29 AM by Hubert Flottz
Pray that the oil companies don't murder half the senior citizens in the US by freezing them to death this winter. The same senior citizens who already didn't have the money for medicine and food and had to choose between the two each month. The same senior citizens who helped make America great, so that Jerry could grow up free and be a self-serving, lazy, chubby cheeked, lying, parasitic, TV panhandler/bum/asshole/POS.

26. WHY in the FUCK Does Is this bullshit entertained in this day and age?
I mean, seriously? This is totally ridiculous that this kind of superstitious nonsense is aired as a discussion topic on a mainstream media news program.

This is the twentieth first century, you dorks. There is no magic, there is no hocus pocus, and there is no angry man stirring up the weather to kill the little ants crawling on the face of this dirt spec in the universe. Stop dumbing it up to the masses and making our country stupider by giving any credence or validation to this bullshit.

Lighten up! * Santa is watching you!

If Jerry gets through the pearly gates with all his bags of easy money, we're all home free. Unless we piss off the tooth fairy!

Edit...I have prayed and prayed and I never get an answer back, I guess Jerry is just holding his mouth right!

29. God Is Mad! At Falwell!
He's mad at this country because Silverspoon is prez, because we let charlatans like Falwell, Robertson, and Dobson use his name to support their lying ways.

He's punishing society because we have yet to eliminate such vermin. He told me so.

35. Bill Nye talked about population growth and the fact that more people are
living in "danger" zones: on the coast, near fault lines, etc. He also talked about man's impact on the environment through the destruction of wetlands and global warming. Andy Borowitz was the only other panel member and he just made jokes about the whole thing. He said God was angry because dogs were nursing squirrels (crazy story that was also covered by CBS Early Show).
