It's the old trope all over again. If something goes right, that was god's will. If something goes wrong? God's will again. If something goes catastrophically wrong? One guess, gang. Good, bad, or indifferent, Yahweh gets the credit, BUT NEVER THE BLAME.
As Sam Harris said sometime back, "This is how you play tennis without the net."
Fear is healthy, it's why most people don't jump from a cliff*. And it's why it's important to be vaccinated. Anti vaxxers don't want to understand how diseases are dangerous.
* I wish young men in some countries have another solution to win money that doing that for stupid tourists.
You know that God isn't responsible for why there are so many different languages on this planet. It doesn't make sense since humans have only been around for 6,000 years and a majority of them don't believe Jesus is the one true God. But don't let that ruin the narrative.
Yeah, it's funny how a flood in New Orleans can be blamed on the gays, but when Pat Robertson's plane was swatted out of the sky over Kansas some years back, that action didn't convey a message. Nor did hate guy's church disaster. So ridiculous.
Seven inches of snow equals next to nothing. On my veranda I now have 80 cm, the same on the roof. It is fluffy and pretty, but too much. Since it is fluffy, making a trail (?) by walking on it is hard work.
Yeah. The only 'Answers in Genesis' I ever got was when I asked Phil Collins about the time signatures in 'Trick of the Tail'. Dance on a Volcano was interesting.
Awful people like Greg Locke have been using religion to exploit the gullible and the stupid for as long as we have had awful, stupid, and gullible people. That said, it's important to remember that as bad as preachers like Locke are, their enablers in the pews are just as bad. They're the ones paying to listen to him, and paying his bills. As more and more reasonable people put religion behind them, I expect congregations like Locke's to get even worse.
Christian Scientists (God's oxymoron) are researching if prayer resistance is emerging--like antibiotic resistance (which God invented only in the 20th century, after the germ theory was only proposed in the 19th century, all of which depends on evolution, the theory of which was propounded by Darwin in the 19th century--none of which real Christians accept but nonetheless rely upon).
“The LORD is using the storm and our tent damage to get glory unto Himself.”
Not all attention is glorification. What about your spiteful, hatefilled rhetoric brings glory onto God and Jesus? Just because you get to be on television over this, doesn’t mean you are bringing good attention to your cause, even if the television station is sympathetic to your ugly beliefs.
God, here, you know the real God, I flood New Orleans, but keep the French District dry. I burn California, but I burn the not the gay parts, but the conservative parts. Oklahoma, Nebraska and Iowa gets tornados every year. New York city hasn't had a destructive tornado in 15 years. Florida gets hit by Hurricanes every year and yet the gayest part, Key West, hasn't been hit by a hurricane in twelve years. And now, it's the second time I fucked up Greg's tent. And yet, these fuckers think I am punishing the Gays.
I guess 7 inches of snow is probably a lot in Tennessee. Here in Wisconsin we consider it a light dusting, fair warning that the REAL bad weather is still coming.
Oh yeah. We got a few inches on Tuesday last week then hit with another five on Friday. We had just enough time to dig out a bit before the -4 degree cold blast hit. Not too bad, since -20 is reasonable to expect in the winter time.
The worst part is that my boss keeps the thermostat at 69 despite being in a steel building where the warehouse has the door open several times a day for shipping and I’m right by the front door (glass of course). He refuses to change it despite all the office workers being bundled up in blankets and hats. He walks around in short sleeved button ups complaining he’s too hot.
And the space heater idea is a straight up nogo. The first person to sit at this desk had one that was old and janky, but her replacement got a new one and the boss freaked out on her (he had something against her the entire time she worked here and they ended up firing her over nonsense) because it was unsafe. Anyway, I’m sitting in a meat freezer fighting hypothermia until the new building is completed.
Wisconsinite here. When I was taking driver's ed, my first behind the wheel session took place the morning after a 9 inch snowfall. Not all of the streets had been cleared, and the first thing my instructer did was take me down a winding street referred to as "Snake Hill" going down to the lakefront (Lake Michigan). Somehow, the other people in the car and I survived.
Locke has insurance? Then he's admitting that he has no faith in his god to come to his rescue and fix the damage. You know. The damage that his god caused in the first place.

Their god has more teflon than Reagan.
"We celebrate FAITH over FEAR." There's a difference between "fear" and "reasonable caution," chowderhead.
Fear is healthy, it's why most people don't jump from a cliff*. And it's why it's important to be vaccinated. Anti vaxxers don't want to understand how diseases are dangerous.
* I wish young men in some countries have another solution to win money that doing that for stupid tourists.
Same folks always fussin' about "Fear God", yes?
I am surprised he didn't scream "It's the GAYZ' FAULT" à plein poumons.
https://www.gaypridecalendar.com/january
It's Hunter Biden's and Nancy Pelosi's fault--everybody already knows it, and President Trump will make sure revenge has been taken.
You forget to insert Barack Clinton's and Hillary Obama's pizza parlor hidden in the basement of a pedophile club.
A building that has no basement and never did. Neat trick if you can pull it off.
Besides, it was just a short stopover for those kids before they were sent to Mars to be used as slave labor.
There's a big list of people behind Satan. Please invite Pastor Locke to preach to you about it from his avalanche-covered pulpit.
Only if I can tie him up and put a recording of me talking about Sechat in my bad English on repeat first.

Perdón, no te entiendo.
Get with the program, that basement has been moved to Mars. That’s why nobody can find it now!
NOGODZ beat you to it 6 hours ago but does it count if it was already Thursday for you then ? 🤔
It's Thursday now :P
Cheater. It's Thursday for me too.
Yeah, it's funny how a flood in New Orleans can be blamed on the gays, but when Pat Robertson's plane was swatted out of the sky over Kansas some years back, that action didn't convey a message. Nor did hate guy's church disaster. So ridiculous.
7 inches of snow? Positively biblical!! What next— a few dozen locusts?
A burning desk plant?
Seven inches of snow equals next to nothing. On my veranda I now have 80 cm, the same on the roof. It is fluffy and pretty, but too much. Since it is fluffy, making a trail (?) by walking on it is hard work.
If they celebrate FAITH over FEAR, then why do they have insurance?
You'll notice that the same people who shout "praise the Lord" still want you to pass the ammunition.
AND the offering plate!
The mortgage company required it? :)
Mortgage on a 🎪?
Some kind of collateral loan.
If only it was 'idiot proofed'. That would have spared it.
And just like Ken Ham, the first thing they do is contact an Insurance company.
(Noah's 'Ark' was flooded at Answers in Genesis)
Isn't the Ark supposed to float?
Made of gopherwood and pitch? It would have fallen apart before the floodwaters came.
Yeah. The only 'Answers in Genesis' I ever got was when I asked Phil Collins about the time signatures in 'Trick of the Tail'. Dance on a Volcano was interesting.
I can't preach
I can't swindle
Good thing about me is the way I sing
I can't preach
I can't swindle
I'm just touring here fans are everything
So many great Phil Collins songs!!
Do you see the face on the TV screen
Comin' at you every sunday?
See the face on the billboard?
Well, that man is me
On the cover of the magazine
There's no question why I'm smilin'
You buy a piece of paradise
You buy a piece of me
I'll get you everything you wanted
I'll get you everything you need
You don't need to believe in hereafter
Just believe in me
'Cause Jesus, He knows me and He knows I'm right
I've been talkin' to Jesus all my life
Oh, yes He knows me and He knows I'm right
And He's been tellin' me everything is alright
Better start doin' it right.
Let the dance begin........
Not the one of the Covenant...but that's sitting in a government warehouse.
But how could it be idiot-proofed if Greggy was inside?
Proof like booze, its the percentage of idiots inside.

I was wondering about that too.

God indeed works in mysterious ways. And sometimes not so mysterious.

He didn't pray nearly hard enough. His god didn't hear him.
Christian Scientists (God's oxymoron) are researching if prayer resistance is emerging--like antibiotic resistance (which God invented only in the 20th century, after the germ theory was only proposed in the 19th century, all of which depends on evolution, the theory of which was propounded by Darwin in the 19th century--none of which real Christians accept but nonetheless rely upon).

Greggy dear, this is what happens when you don't pay attention in science class- meteorology turns your theology into 𝘱𝘩𝘺𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘴.

And yet, these fuckers think I am punishing the Gays.
Wait, Greg isn't gay?
He just has a wide stance, that's all.
Only his pool boy knows for sure.
Does he sound happy to you? Besides even the hustlers are asking for a steep price to blow *that*.
Nope. In the dark, no mouth is gay.
Not publicly.
Posed as a question?
"No worries @hemantmehta, the LORD will bless in a mighty way. Jesus is a restorer of hope. As much as you rejoice in the hardships of others . . ."
Locke is the one who rejoices in the hardship of others.

It's up to 9F, so far, today. Time to break out the shorts. : )
I’m still in a skirt, I don’t wear tights or hose, and the car said it was -4 this morning. Maybe if it gets to -20s I will don pants.
Next month won’t matter because I’ll be home recovering from surgery. I’ll spend all my time in pjs.

Is he going through menopause?

50°/10° I had to turn on the heater.
I turned off the space heater that keeps the pipes in the laundry room from freezing.
We had until now about 2 weeks of actual winter. Starting Sunday it will be mid Spring temperatures again...

Neddy doesn't believe in insurance. He considers it a form of gambling.

I'm surprised his insurance covers "Acts of God"
Oh, the irony of that. :)
I'm surprised he can get insurance.
Insurance on a tent?
God charges a very high deductible. And getting claims processed requires endless prayer.
Buying insurance + asking for donations = celebrating FEAR over FAITH
