If those that claim to know what God is thinking when God causes natural disasters that can be easily explained with our understanding of ordinary science want to opine on it, fine. Start a separate thread, preferably in the religion forum to discuss the theological aspects of the event. I'm sure it would be an interesting discussion.
The question of who gets to post on Post number 666 on these threads is more than a little wacked.
I've had enought for today!
What everyone believes isn't as relevent as what the Bible actually says. And, like I said, I'm no scholar on the subject, but I'm pretty sure the Bible covers the notion of God's wrath coming in the form of natural disasters. Anybody who believes God would be willing to flood the entire planet as a means of communicating his displeasure with mankind shouldn't have any problem believing that the Big Guy might change it up and throw down an earthquake or two.
And most Christians do believe the bit about the flooding. So why is it unreasonable that they believe this could be something along those lines?
Don't fall into the trap of painting with a broad brush. Every group has their nuts, as this forum demonstrates day after day, but not all of us are running and looking for messages in disasters.
