Jesus avoids the atheist family and destroys his own church

[Cinjin]

As a christian I thank you for your donation and as a christian I'll ask you to read the book of Job and find for yourself where such distruction comes from.

Well, thats cool. I will donate my money, as usual, annonymously. Whatever they do with it is their concern. as far as the book of Job is concerned, to be honest it is probably one of my most favorite books in the KJV. And when I say "most favorite" I mean "sucks the least". I consider it the divine comedy of the KJV. In the book of Job (which I have read several times) is where I finally come to grips that leaving Christianity was a must, and that Jehovah is an egotistical prick who will bet YOUR lively hood, and the lives of your children, to appease his ego when taunted by the devil. I can point at the book of Job and HONESTLY proclaim that I am much more moral than Jehovah. The answer to this destruction does not come from the book of Job.

The answer comes from modern meteorologists

Furthermore, since I believe the story of Job to be a fabrication, it would seem to me that the officers of the church could use the story to justify the random suffering of any one of their many parishioners - thus dissuade any possible doubt that a person in real misery would inevitably feel about a God who doesn't do anything to help. Basically, you're right on Rev.

I will be donating money, not worthless prayers.

Helping is a great idea. An amoral atheist showing charity and compassion will REALLY confuse thinking ones and piss off the majority.

Money,so they can rebuild their church? Nah, my help would be practical. These are neighbours? I think I would give someone a place to stay, and help with the cleanup.

Amazing,that fool STILL doesn't get it does he? IE that this is an ATHEIST forum..

PS It's 'destruction'.

At least 4 killed in NC storms; death toll at 21

Hymnals still rested on the pews at the nearby Boone's Chapel Baptist Church, even though the walls and roof had blown away. Tammie Silas joined other church members, cleaning up the debris. She came upon two Hollon family photos that were pulled from debris scattered over a quarter-mile

Jesus avoids the atheist family and destroys his own church - This tornado literally touched down blocks away from me, but me and my family were not hurt. I cant say that for the others. Quite sad really, and to top it off, there are hundreds upon hundreds of people begging me for my prayers to them..do they not realize their god just destroyed one of their churches? What will it take before they see the reality of the situation...sad...so very sad, and it is compounded by sophomoric superstitious blah blah.

It's funny that christians asks an atheist to pray for them - do they know you're an atheist? :))

Hey everybody. First of all i would like to thank you rev. j for showing compassion and kindness to those people that suffered loss due to the tornato. It is my opinion that prayer will help but donations certainly help as well. If anybody as human beings, show kindness to our fellow man if he be atheist or theist it matters not, then kindness will be shown to us. some say it comes in the form of blessings, some say its karma and some refer to it as the laws of the universe.

Now about the part where it was stated that the theists will probably offer some ridiculous explanation such as.. God has a plan and we will rebuild for the glory of God. It seems as if you have an understanding about how we see things. To be honest had you not said that I probably would have. It may seem ridiculous to you but it is an explaination. It isnt a rule we have to like everything our God does. We just have to accept it is the best thing in the long run and sometimes that takes some time. It is written, all things work together for good for those that love god. or you could refer to it is the reasons we believe it happend.

And an added note on that.. God did not destroy his church. A tornado destroyed a building. The "church" is not the church. The believers are the church. And any beleivers that were "killed" as a result of the tornado.. Well as silly as it may sound to some on here, theyre not dead. Their spirit is simply no longer here on earth with the rest of us. Death is not the end in other words. Peace.
