What’s weird is the huge number of GOP that live in California -so I guess all those trumpers caught in the fires are just collateral damage for Jesus? 🤔
Evangelicals seem to be able to explain away the most despicable and immoral behavior as their warped version of "serving God;" it utterly defies logic, not to mention the actual teachings of Yeshua.
Claiming tRump as the "Second Coming" is antichrist.
After the San Francisco earthquake and fire, the God-botherers claimed God had destroyed the town for its sins.
Local poet Charles Fielding had a good response:
"'If, as they say, God spanked the town
For being over frisky,
Why did He burn the churches down
And save Hotaling's whiskey?'"
Okay, I've spent decades reading about that earthquake and fire, but I don't recall ever running across that quote - thank you so much!!!
My mom accidentally turned me into a disaster junkie when I was a kid and spent three straight Christmas vacations too sick in bed to do anything but read.
3/ after which a single soul of the population of 35,000 people survived, and that only because he was in a prison cell with thick stone walls, which shielded him from the blast.
So at ages six, seven, and eight, I was reading some absolutely amazing and fascinating books about the power of nature.
2/ books she gave me, I believe in order, were "A Night to Remember," about the sinking of the Titanic, "The Earth Shook, the Sky Burned," about the 1906 earthquake and fire in San Francisco, and "The Day the World Ended," about the 1902 eruption of Mt. Pelee, on the Caribbean island of St. Pierre,
With wind-fueled wildfires, ESPECIALLY during strong Sanrmta Ana winds, EVERYTHING and EVERYONE is potential fuel for the fire, and it's an equal opportunity destroyer.
Seems to me that every time "God" sends a destructive weather event, it's usually some Republican town within a Republican state that gets turned to rubble, or flooded, or whatever the f*ck. So, if I were a MAGA motherf*cker, it'd be time for me to take a peak inward, start asking if the prob's me.
Disgusting. As I’m sure is the case with many, I have family members that had to evacuate. They’re not sure if they have a home to return to. These people dancing on their misfortune for some sort of advantage is the worst kind of vulture behavior.
Stupidity is not mental illness. You do people who have legitimate medical mental health issues a disservice when you excuse ignorant, intolerant, bigoted, malicious people with a mental health condition. They are just despicable human beings.
The day I finally gave up five decades of faith was the day I saw a pastor use the pulpit to call for all LGTBQ to be lined up against a brick wall and shot in the back of the head, calling it "God's Grace"
I lived south east of this fire, not sure where it started and how, LAFD will. The winds are up to 100 mph at the canyons,
Did the homeowners neglect their brush clearance chores? Did they get the goats to munch on the grasses and shrubs? Did anyone look up the brush clearance violators?
Maybe you could skip MAGA churches?? That’s what I do. Cruise the parking lot and look for bumper stickers for Trump. These folks love to advertise their stupidity.
Not all churches are so hostile but many southern churches are still living in the 1800's with beliefs that haven't changed or there's those great big mega churches that hoard cash for the rich greedy pastor that could care less about the church members, only their wallets. Sounds like you know who?
They are the Christian Taliban. Not Christians at all. I think it’s time to call them and their heathen churches out. They have always been about controlling other people through cruelty and deprivation. Evil people use it as a cover to commit heinous crimes.
But when Texas floods or Florida gets demolished by hurricanes, it’s the liberals and not God. Trump was right about one thing, he said if he ever ran for President he’d do it as a republican because they are stupid. Game. Set. Match.
Wasn’t it just months ago as floods ripped through the Bible-belt, wiping out entire towns, evangelical conservatives displaced by the Hurricane’s wrath blamed it on the government and is super sinister HARP weather controlling ray gun , and FEMA was there only for the minerals beneath their homes?
Hopefully one of many reasons you'll stay out of tax-free churches. Maybe if they were forced to pay taxes I might return? Oh, never mind - no chance of either occurrence!
I am nightmarishly sorry that such people are and think in this way about human tragedy. it is unacceptable to have neither reason nor heart nor a little compassion. If it's really a Christian then believe me I'm ashamed and I'm at a loss for words. 💔😢🥺
Well then the hurricanes, tornadoes and floods are too… Next time we ll just tell them the same thing…. Yes they are mentally limited, educated and disturbed.
If you are in church, mocking the danger and loss of a fire, in your fellow citizen’s State, look to the left and right of you… you are already in hell.
I hate to say this, but the southern Christian God is not a god of love. He is a vindictive bastard. I think the bible needs a rewrite by more secular liars.
I have seen MAGA cult members saying that the #PacificPalisades fire was "sent by God" to "take out" "ungodly movie stars and reality stars and greedy rich people..."
If that were true, shouldn't they be concerned that some natural disaster will be coming for their cult leader at some point?
They always find a way to blame the liberals. The catastrophic hurricane and devastation in Appachia was a Democratic government manufactured event and now it’s our fault for being liberal, which is so ignorant anyway because we are not a homogenous state anyway.
I woke with a jolt today
I must’ve been thinking
about the fires in my sleep.
We will soon be in a phase where
panic will hit investors.
We are talking about
Los Angeles. For real.
Look out, guys~
The climate disaster
is going to start affecting the
stock market much more than
before: buckle up.
Structured religions have been a destruction to mankind. Churches were never a requirement of many religions .. Christian, Muslim, Hindu, etc. Churches were created from man's EGO to show everyone whose was bigger !!
Of course. All the Red States that got walloped by hurricanes during the campaign were sent by Democrats to slow down MAGA. So now God is punishing Democrats for losing? Makes more sense that way. 🤷🏻♀️
I love how they only claim natural disasters in blue states are God's wrath, but conveniently don't think it's God's wrath when natural disasters happen all the time in red states--hurricanes in Florida, tornados in the Midwest, or the disastrous freeze in Texas.
I was taught by NUNS who were open to people and thoughts contrary to the beliefs these women had based their lives on. Their faith was unrattlable so why should they not accept those people with open arms? “Christians” today are completely closed minded and hateful. False believers.
Can we get Woden's day? Thor's day? What about Frigga's day? What about Saturn's day? Even our language was derived from paganism don't pretend like European Americans have always been "Christian" while doing the most unholy of things.
It crossed my mind this would be a thing. They love to pick and choose who gets “punished” and who is merely a victim of circumstance. It’s their own brand of just-world fallacy.
Considering Donny Doom already had four years when he did nothing to counter Climate Change and is now promising to make it worse ASAP, we have the right to call them tRumpnado Swarms. So, when does tRumpnado Week start this year?
Would this be an importune moment to suggest next Sunday, Canada invades from the northern states , Mexico up through Texas and the Greenlanders take the best of the refugees to safety in Europe?
Fuck Trump and whilst we think about it, fuck Musk
Can we also get Australia to invade from the west and the EU/UK from the east? The West Coast can be a safe zone until our allies succeed and restore a sane government. I suggest the invasion starts on Jan 20.
As horrific as they are, I prefer to imagine that the fires are Karmic winds of climate catastrophe sent as punishment for Reagan taking down the solar panels that Jimmy Carter put on the White House.
Yes they are. I'm starting to wonder if this is some kind of Covid based brain damage. I'll bet real money Trump causes another pandemic before his term is over.
There are quite a few MAGA that live there too,so I guess these “True MAGA” have turned on them as well 🤔🙈.
May God have mercy on those family members that have perished🥲.
I think these people are confused. They call themselves Christians, yet apparently are completely unfamiliar with the Sermon on the Mount. Among other words of guidance for those seeking redemption:
AMEN to that! As a follower of Christ (notice I did NOT say Christian) God does NOT "get back" at people He thinks need punishment. Most times it is Christians that say that sort of RUBBISH & who teach that God holds a grudge. Walk the walk! I know that area well & had family living there for years.
Agree! Same people who blamed Job for his troubles or say that if you are sick you are being punished, etc.. There is no accounting for "chance" in life..
These people are evil. That is not the Christian attitude I was raised under. It just helps to prove that declaring you are a Christian is nothing but a lie.
I remember when AIDS started becoming a big issue. I had a friend who was gay. We were in around 6th grade. The info was so bad at the time that he thought it was the AIDS that made him gay.
The 80's were rough, but I still meet people that don't understand being queer doesn't give you diseases, or how they are transmitted. Look at what disinformation has done to politics. When everyone has a computer in their hands, No One should be ignorant & uneducated
These people of ALL faiths in S. Cal are of all walks of life and are also the most generous when it comes to helping others. They don't pick and chose. Those people saying that are indeed sick.
Texas keeps having a lot of natural disasters. That's God's punishment to them for their hateful ways towards immigrants and women. God keeps punishing them for whom they put in office. Racist, deceitful cons. I'm clapping back at that statement about California.
Next time a Tornado hits the bible belt and a hurricane hit florida we can all say the same thing. God is punishing the red states for being corrupt pedos.
But we are bad if we say God must hate red states when they are hit by hurricanes. We say that to make the point of how stupid their rhetoric is. They mean it literally. Well, if CA burns to the ground, who's gonna pay for all welfare red states suck up?
I step foot in church every day! My God, my religion isn't confined to four walls and a collection plate with ministers teaching politics instead of the teachings of Christ! I'm not real religious either, but I know when the spirit is in me and never found it in a church!
Reading the Bible, even the old "based on King James" version, + gnostic writings discovered at Nag Hamadi. Jesus was a socialist - the caring for the poor, the shunned, taking the Jewish orthodoxy to task, type stuff. Oh, & talking about loving one another, which suggests at least caring for ppl.
So, how do they account for lightning striking a capitol building that has just gained GOP majorities in House and Senate. Maybe God isn't please about that somehow?!

Cry for the people we don't/will never know
Because the devastation+loss - so unimaginable
All as the faux pious think they are
Thoughts+prayersing us into believing
They are/were ever tangential to
Actual real religion/consciences
Jimmy Carter not Trump
Is who to admire
Also, what does that say when hurricanes hit almost only red states?
Did the homeowners neglect their brush clearance chores? Did they get the goats to munch on the grasses and shrubs? Did anyone look up the brush clearance violators?
The very same MAGA Christians in the Bible belt, they’re dealing with tornadoes and hurricanes and storms that take down their cities. EVERY YEAR.
But THAT’S not by the hand of God
If that were true, shouldn't they be concerned that some natural disaster will be coming for their cult leader at some point?

"Winchestertonfieldville was nearly destroyed by a category 6 hurricane, highest winds ever recorded!"
"It cuz the damn demoncrats! God is punishing their gay, liberal ways!"
"For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save it."
They truly are mentally disturbed.
I get it. Cult thinking,
Hypocrisy is their sole guiding philosophy.
Fuck Trump and whilst we think about it, fuck Musk
It is disturbing how opposite the teachings of Christ have been on many occasions throughout history.
May God have mercy on those family members that have perished🥲.
"Judge not lest ye be judged."
A true follower of Jesus Christ would have compassion, empathy and love for fellow human beings suffering in such circumstances.
I am always surprised at the hatred of such so called christians. (deliberate small c)
Mostly, I hesitate to think of the era which begins on January 20.
helping "WASH their SINS away" along with them
It's literally the lesson of world war II.
