Texas flooding

[Marcus]

This was a freakish 'hundred year' storm.

Wouldn't it be great if it stayed that way? But extreme weather events are now occurring at decreasing intervals.

Why? because the atmosphere is being warmed up by the effect of higher levels of CO2. If air is hotter:

1. It can carry a heavier load of moisture that it will eventually dump as heavy rain.

2. It has more energy to drive higher winds and hence more damaging storms.

2. The folks that lived in and vacationed in this area are praising God even in the midst of tragedy. The strength of the human spirit never ceases to amaze me. I think we might be able to at least agree on that.

Quite what praise your deity has deserved as a result of all those innocent kids being drowned, I can't see. But if it makes people feel better ...

If your deity has any rationality, I think he would be saying something like "Yeah, yeah. Thanks for saying all those nice things. But you know what I really want? I want you to get on with caring for and comforting the survivors, and then get yourselves sorted out, install decent alarm systems and PLEASE, PLEASE, stop destroying the nice supportive natural environment I set you up with. That stuff in your skull is called 'brains'. Start using them.'

Good advice. One would think a god has at least the ability to think through the situation as well as a rational human.

They are all Nephite artifacts.

You would, wouldn't you? I'll bet He does.

No, not among rational people, but Mormon press releases regularly assert that Mormons were prevented from dying in a tragedy due to their '[Mormon-defined] goodness.' What's the difference?

Marcus you point out a disturbing bit of shortsighted selfish concern. It happens with other Christian groups or manipulative leaders as well as Mormons, repulsive in any group.

Whatever you're talking about it sounds like humans doing human stuff.

And you're perfect?

Do you think there is a chance he was referring to something other than the Texas flood?
