My thought is the double rainbow was God hears our prayers and the repentance of His people. While our secular society seems to be coming undone in evils, there is a part of the country that is praying and seeking repentance. The rainbows were a promise that He has not forgotten, nor will not forsake us.

The lightening strike that caused the crane to fall in Mecca could have been much worse. God would not use such a tiny strike, but it did happen where they believe no harm can befall them.

you are not very well educated. if you did you would know that those you bitterly hate number in the thousands while the majority number in the hundreds of millions

think about that when the snake handlers in your church bring their rattlesnakes into the aisles of your sanctuary

That pathetic argument was bannered even here on FR on 9-11. On the surface that may seem correct, but the silence of those "hundreds of millions" after the 9-11 attacks wreaked of complicity.

You can choose to support a religion that is based on exterminating us....... But I don't

An engineer for the Saudi Binladin Group, the developer, said the crane had been installed in “an extremely professional way” and that there had been no technical problem.

=> they will find a foreign scapegoat, probably from Indonesia, Malaysia or similar, blame him for sabotage and execute him.
