Hurricane Katrina, Mother nature or Wrath of God?

[Rev. Rye]

This is all coincidence. Don't trouble yourself.

If it means anything, it's just that we should probably try to do some peace talks outside of Hurricane Season.

[Polaris]

Mother nature. Nature happens.

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

These are just a few of many examples I have seen of a correlation between the US' involvements in Israel and Nature going crazy in the US. Is it all a coincidence, or is there a deeper explination to this mystery.

If it has feathers ,looks like a duck,waddles like a duck and quacks like a duck it's probably a troll, or really stupid. Too soon to tell which.

Or, considering those are all religiously conservative states with histories regarding science/religion curricula, that God is upset with evangelical politics maybe.


That's what you guys call 'logical'... Right?

Right?[/sarcasm]

Playing along for a bit...

Have you considered reverse causation? Specifically that rather than the disasters being the response to human actions on those specific dates, its possible that those dates were chosen specifically because disasters were going to strike soon?

Imagine some super-secret organization with key players in politics, science, technology, economics etc. who have the means to predict within the range of hours exactly when natural disasters are going to occur. And whatever their secret agenda is, it dictates that they oush along these treaties, while indicating that some powerful force is not happy with it - a card to be played in future. So they arrange to have these things done a day before or on the day of the disaster. Now that's a conspiracy theory.

Correlation does not imply causation.

Now i'm not religious but I have come across a conspiracy that baffles my mind. For years Israel and Palestine have been at war regarding ownership of the same strip of land. Many Christians and Jews believe by testament of scripture that Israel completely belongs to via Jews via a covenant made by God to Abraham. History of US involvements in Israel show the natural forces to be very unhappy with US behavior.

30 October 1991 Madrid Peace Conference, foundation of the Oslo Accords
31 October 1991 Perfect Storm hits Maine, including the summer home of George H.W. Bush, the founder of the Oslo Accords

24 August 1992 Leaders of Israel and Palestine meet up with Bush in Washington, reinforcing the Oslo Accords
24 August 1992 Hurricane Andrew strikes, with a cost of $26.5billion making it one of the costliest natural disasters in US history

16 January 1994 Meeting between George Bush and Yasser Arafat takes place in Washington
17 January 1994 Earthquake devastates California, cost of $20billion again ranks it as one of the costliest US disasters

30 November 1998 US Government agree to fund plans for a Palestinian State
1 December 1998 US Dow drops 216 points, devastating the US economy

13 July 2000 Leaders of Israel and Palestine meet up with Bill Clinton at Camp David to discuss peace talks
13 July 2000 Unusually severe wildfires hit the North West

15-23 August 2005 With support of the US Ariel Sharon drives out 10,000 Jews from Gaza and the West Bank
23 August 2005 Hurricane Katrina first forms, which later goes on to destroy New Orleans

14 September 2010 Peace Talks commerce in Cairo, Egypt
16 September 2010 Tornado causes flooding of streets in Brooklyn, New York

These are just a few of many examples I have seen of a correlation between the US' involvements in Israel and Nature going crazy in the US. Is it all a coincidence, or is there a deeper explination to this mystery.

All very nice and "coincidental" for a limited time period. We ARE talking about the entire planet and the BILLIONS of years it has operated a climate cycle? These dates are nothing more than a blink in the greater scheme of things and while interesting can be viewed as just novelties and nothing more, stay calm

I hoc'd a looggie on the "wrath of god" argument. Patoooie!
