Reinforcements have arrived. Me thinks you are about to get flammed. But, being the stand up FReeper that I am, I agree with you. This landslide is not a sign of the end of time, except of course for somes houses.
Cheers!
That isn't what I said.
And more reinforcements arriving. It's simply awe-inspiringly idiotic and embarassing to try to link natural disasters to some sort of punishment by a deity. This isn't the 10th century, and a lot of things that happen in the Old Testament show no evidence of actually happening in the real world of today. It's not any different than blaming the volcano eruption on not sacrificing enough virgins.
And because some locality voted for Obama by a couple of percentage points? Seriously?
And what if the guy who owned the house that fell off the cliff was a rock-ribbed Republican and Christian? Is God's aim THAT bad?
And of course nobody brings this nonsense at all when Alabama and Mississippi get hit by the largest tornado outbreak ever known.
Or that 6,000 people were drowned by a hurricane in Texas in 1900, back in the good 'ol days before legalized abortion and gay marriage.
There's no deeper meaning or message in any of this except that erosion happens and if you build your house close to the sea for the few, it might fall in. That's it.
