When Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005, some moron said the hurricane “looked like a fetus” and insisted it was divine punishment for abortion. Same kind of idiocy, just on the other end of the political spectrum.
People’s brains seek patterns where none exist.

well, hurricanes _are_ acts of God. It says so right here in my insurance policy.

I’m sure Roberston, Baker, and Falwell are broadcasting the same idea. Maybe Osteen, too. They’re all alike. For them, there is no science, only faith. Makes me wonder how they explain cars and cell phones.

Says right there: “OR to water his land to demonstrate his faithful love.”
Why you gotta believe that God’s a hater?

I spoke with God and she wasn’t happy with this bozo pretending to speak for her :dubious:
I’m hoping for a smite

Then maybe HaShem chose Texas in particular for being such a bloodthirsty state with its record on capital punishment? BTW, Florida executes a lot of people too…
And so does Louisiana, albeit, it’s something like number six on the list. Virginia and Oklahoma really need to get hit with something.

Well, Cameron is dumber than a rock, but it’s no more stupid than what we’ll see on every news channel in the aftermath. Every close call where somebody did _not_ die will be called a miracle, an answer to prayer. Oh Jeebus, why do you work in such mysterious ways?

[Travel Insurance sez this](http://www.travelinsurancereview.net/hurricane-travel-resource-center/hurricane-zone/)about hurricanes around the world:
Top 10 countries with hurricane strikes
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Research Administration, the top ten countries with the most hurricane strikes since 1970 are the following:
[ol]
[li]China[/li][li]Philippines[/li][li]Japan[/li][li]Mexico[/li][li]United States[/li][li]Australia[/li][li]Taiwan[/li][li]Vietnam[/li][li]Madagascar[/li][li]Cuba[/li][/ol]
Notice how none of these countries are predominantly Muslim? Bad news, Kirk. You gotta call God Allah because He’s throwing hurricanes at your infidel ass.

Maybe the first two, but Falwell’s dead. (I like to imagine he was REAL surprised when he actually met St. Peter.)

God’s not mad at me. I didn’t see any hurricanes last week.

God himself is a staunch Republican. But Kirk loves Jeebus, who was a Commie in favor of paying taxes, loving poor people and free bananas?

I for one am glad that Kirk Cameron has found some human suffering that he can capitalize on, and get his name back out there. What a break for him!

He has a son who preaches. Maybe that’s who they referenced
? :o
I’m Christian, and IMNSHO, if KC has anything to do with it, it is to be avoided.

His son is made in his image.
