At 11:39 a.m., a tornado slammed into the Goshen United Methodist Church collapsing the roof on a congregation during Palm Sunday services. It claimed 20 lives and injured 90. The tornado was an F4 on the Fujita scale. The supercell that formed this tornado ended up tracking for 200 miles (320 km) to South Carolina.

Tornadoes destroy a lot of churches; that was just from a cursory search. Many of these are from not from the “wrong” denominations as apparently defined by the “God’s Punishment” types.

This reminds me of way back when Quix got all excited about the possibility of analyzing the churches destroyed in Mississippi by Katrina to see if the “bad” ones were destroyed and the “good” ones spared.

I agree, Jesus told us that disasters aren’t necessarily indicative of the greater-than-usual wickedness of those victimised by them. Instead, He said that *everyone* needs to repent.

That being said, homosexuals and the Lutheran abominationists who are abetting their agenda need to be worried about the eternal version of God’s punishment.
