Moby is nuts ! Or is he ?
Moby 'believes' God destroys American Republicans with natural disasters. The musician - who is a staunch Democrat - is enraged by who suggest hurricanes and earthquakes are sent by God to destroy sinners, and has come up with a new theory about why the tragedies might occur.
Moby wrote on his personal website: "You know how the religious right will every now and then say that some natural disasters - hurricanes, earthquakes, etc - happen because God is angry at secular sinners?"I mean, personally, I tend to think that things like hurricanes and tornadoes happen for non-anthropocentric reasons and are, actually, just examples of extreme and arbitrary weather."But if natural disasters are, as the evangelicals maintain, a sign of God's wrath, then what does it mean that 90 per cent of the damage caused by tornadoes and hurricanes in the US happen in right-wing, Republican states that are heavily populated by evangelicals?
"Again, I'm of the 'weather tends to happen because of climatological factors' school of thought."But the evangelicals have on plenty of occasions tried to maintain that natural disasters are the products of God's wrath. For example, they said that Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans because New Orleans was hosting a gay pride weekend.
"I'm not making light of the damage done by natural disasters in the US, I'm just trying to point out another small logical inconsistency on the part of our evangelical pals."
Uhm, the religion he is disagreeing with is "Enviormentalism". Their latest doctrine asserts man made global warming is increasing the hurricanes, and will cause great catastrophic weather if we do not repent. As illustrated by the movie "The Day after Tomorrow."
Younger music culture..
Was meant to be more about a total discussion on what Republicans are thought to be about or stereotyped as by the media, stemming from a story on Moby who was semi-misquoted. Again was not as much about Moby ..but I guess went over the "upcoming weekend" FR warriors' heads.
I agreed with the Hippy part on Bush. Dared to have the same thoughts and tie-dyed visual.
But guess I should stick to speed reading..life is made simple that way. ;)
Vinnie..
Too late.
Pat Robertson said Orlando was going to get hit by a hurricane because it supported gays and then along came Hurricane Bonnie headed straight for Orlando. But then Bonnie took a right turn and slammed into Pat’s Virginia headquarters instead.
This is one instance where I would like to attribute the weather to God.
Bingo. As far as God's wrath on sin, Paul addresses that in Romans 1. "The Wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men..."
The wrath Paul goes on to describe is God removing his common grace and allowing man to descend into his own immorality. That is how God reveals his wrath in the present age. Of course, ultimately, every person will be subject to judgment.
Made a Moby Point.
Have generally resolved myself into caring little what the DBM/MSM thinks of me.
FRegards,
The only context ever heard of him in was his spouting far lefty wackiness.
A shame. Aside from Techno, what other music is there to dance to? Hip hop (HELL no!)? Disco?
Don't say it..white short sleeved shirt, short black tie, black pants hair spit-slicked down, and a Bible in your pocket? ;)
What’s a Moby and why is it so needy?
Does anybody really care what he says or thinks?
Does he even have the capability to think?
As a matter of fact, is he worth the effort to type this....?
Got the crap kicked out of him once when in Boston. I think the guy weighs 105 pounds soaking wet.
12/02
Moby was assaulted by a few men in Boston outside a club he had just performed at by 2 or 3 attackers. Moby stated on his website that he wasn’t severely hurt and suffered bruises on his face.
>Moby was born Richard Melville Hall on September 11, 1965 In Connecticut. The name ‘Moby’ was a nickname from his childhood and a reference to his great great granduncle, Herman Melville, who wrote Moby Dick.
Call me Ismael.
looks and sounds like a real loser
Whi is that? Is he important?
I know. Which is why when my girlfriends ask me to salsa (a dance that actually requires skill) I have to say no. At least with techno and disco you can get away with shaking and convulsing.
