The worst thing about Italian earthquake...
August 26, 2016 at 5:55 am
Is that what ever news clip I see they always show fucking Pope reading from a sheet of paper of something he wrote about the earthquake. What an asshole. He's desperately trying to keep religion alive at moments like this when people are asking "Why would fucking god do something like this if he exists?" Especially when they have whole stupid Vatican there.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I wondered how long it would be until someone comes up with that kind of bullshit. It's in the pope's fucking job description to do that. And I can think of worse things about the Earthquake. Such as the several hundred casualties and the several thousand people having lost home and livelihood.

No religion owns a patent on superstition and false perceptions. Even Buddhism is full of superstition and mythology. Reincarnation and karma are concepts they hold as excuses as to why bad things happen to good people. All the religions of antiquity were started in an age of scientific ignorance and humans simply project gap answers in many ways to explain why things happen. 

But Jews and Christians and Hindus all have their gap answers as to why bad happens.

Yes , way worse things about earthquakes than the fucking Pope. I hope the suffering ends soon.

Didn't you feel at least a little bit idiotic writing that headline? Knowing that there are Italians on this board, no less?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Useless god did nothing to prevent the quake, if he exists then he/she/it should be ashamed
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

Why the fuck should people care about what a ficticional god does or do not? Earthquakes are normal on the planet, but we live on the surface and they cause the loss of human life. Who cares about the pope giving confort to those people that being interior Italy, surely believe?

People lost alot. Some their lives, some lost someone dear.

Gods have nothing to do with it. Plate tectonics did it and humans have worked on seismic preventive architecture, but it hit an old historic place and those constructions were made before such awareness.

So what did the fucking pope do?

http://www.catholicnews.com/services/eng...ictims.cfm

Quote:VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- After a strong earthquake struck central Italy and with the early news reporting many deaths and serious damage, Pope Francis turned his weekly general audience Aug. 24 into a prayer service.

While the pope and some 11,000 pilgrims and tourists recited the sorrowful mysteries of the rosary in St. Peter's Square

Oh, yeah... that will fucking help.  Pious assholes.
