Organised religion has no logic. <BR/><BR/>In this instance, thanking God is a bit like thanking someone for slitting your wrists, but getting you to the hospital before you bleed to death.Rose Ghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10581118186316729467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11975474.post-58925890484942598202007-02-07T19:08:00.000-08:002007-02-07T19:08:00.000-08:00"The pastor is pretty smart, though.

Drag 'em out to see the wreckage, so that, while they rebuild their broken homes, they remember to dig deep for Mother Church. Do you suppose it's a sin to be under-insured? Do you suppose he'll pass the hat for the "rebuiling fund", then cash the insurance check?<BR/><BR/>The warped mentality required to thank Jehovamagod for not killing one in the wake of a tornado never ceases to amaze me.breakerslionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14327290369084118043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11975474.post-41420330938096976432007-02-06T13:32:00.000-08:002007-02-06T13:32:00.000-08:00& so I wonder: did the 20 people that died go to h...& so I wonder: did the 20 people that died go to heaven or hell?<br />Don't the Snopes folks call that a glurge story?

It's so irritating - as if we all thought the church would disband and disappear (although if they really <i>thought</i> about it, they might just do that). They still had a service, big freaking deal.<br /><br /><i>Who are they trying to convince, anyway? Perhaps themselves? </i><br /><br />That was one of my big insights, many years ago, when I first started to have doubts. If you listen to pretty much any sermon with that perspective, you'll hear how often they say things like, "...And <b>that</b> is how we know god is real...", etc. When you listen for it, you'll hear the constant stream of subconscious denial, and once I noticed that I could never ignore it again.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05957404327910297457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11975474.post-68405264813640858142007-02-05T16:18:00.000-08:002007-02-05T16:18:00.000-08:00If I was a member of that congregation, I'd be ask...<i>If I was a member of that congregation, I'd be asking god for my time, money, and unanswered prayers back about now. </i><br /><br />I hope you kept the receipt!!! ;)Aaron Kinneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12059982934663353474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11975474.post-17116818302603696532007-02-05T15:35:00.000-08:002007-02-05T15:35:00.000-08:00Good one, Aaron.
