I'm through with the religious discussions on this thread. Go start a new one in Relgion and ping me, but I'm tired of the thread hijacking.

I must be typing funny....what he said was the three month period, June, July, August, with particular attention to July 21st. So, 45 days before and 45 days after....a 90 day window.

Well, if LA gets rocked this summer, and all the freepers start posting "how they deserved it" which is what will happen...you heard it here first.

Sigh. You're succeeding in baiting me into turning this thread into a discussion of religion instead of what happened today.
Look, even if you want to use the biblical account of the flood as a comparison, God gave the world decades of warning. It didn't come as a bolt out of the blue after some antediluvian court decision made Him mad over the weekend.


What about Fatima & other Marian Apparitions? Warnings are pretty clear & what we need to do to lessen & delay the Great Chastisement.

I don't know how much clearer the NOAA Tsunami Center can say to you that THEY DO NOT PUT OUT WARNINGS FOR ANYTHING EXCEPT THE PACIFIC OCEAN.

It amazes me that facts mean nothing to people. There is NO measuring equipment in the Indian Ocean or around Indonesia. You can't predict tsunamis without accurate observed data.

Any statements the Tsunami Center makes about that area of the world are pure guesses at best and based on potential only. Warnings are confined to the Pacific.

Hijacking? No one is hijacking this thread. If someone has a view that maybe some supernatural force, God is behind what's going in the world thats an opinion. You can agree or disagree that you right. But to mock or degrade someone in order to intimated them into silence or post only in threads you deemed "where they belong" is censorship and that should not be tolerated by anyone.

Yikes. You sure are angry at something or someone other than comments I made to another poster with 25 minutes of the first report of the earthquake. I went back and looked at my post:

Most of the poor people there are unable to receive communications even if there is proper warning. Only hope is that the time of day (11 PM) will have the folks off the beach. Prayers required.

I can't imagine what I said that set you off. I am sorry to have offended you so.

Very well said.

I much agree.

Thanks.

Of course, those overinflated with their own constructions on reality will dissmiss you in whatever way's most convenient and flattering to their own egos.

Oh, the inanity. Not that I want to get into their silly and out-of-place discussion, but it was my understanding that God doesn't hold nations accountable. He holds people accountable. Plus, the fruitcakes are getting so nasty in tone, they're decidedly un-Christian in their demeanor. So who gives a rat what they're saying.

I just saw CalTech heavyweight Kerry-forgot-his-surname on KCBS television in an earlier interview. He said there most certainly has to have been tsunami activity, along certain facing beaches in Indonesia, etc.

A reference to an earthquake in biblical writings is not equivalent to an indication that they are caused by God. The bible doesn't say that, and the notion that God is sitting on his throne looking over all the universe and deciding to punish Sumatra for what America is doing to Terri doesn't fit.

Lots of lightening strikes everyday, too. Nature, or is God obsessed with zapping the planet?

I've made my decision and perhaps it doesn't fit the perspective of others. If we all agreed, this would be a boring forum.

God holds nations accountable too.

You might check out Jeremiah 46:28. But there are many Biblical examples of the point.

Certainly he holds individuals accountable.

Nations are 'mere' collections of individuals.

and of our collective choices.
