Talk:Natural disaster

WOW. Um, I know we got a bias an all, but I think this is a bit much. I don't think God slings tornadoes around when he gets peeved.--Elamdri 11:26, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

Not sure how you could know that, but okay. If everything is from God, how can it be a "Natural" disaster. As a young Christian, taking the language back is very important to me. Flippin 11:29, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

Glad that you agree. Christian language is important.--Sherman 11:31, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

Christian language is important, but understanding actual scientific causation is probably more important to your ultimate educational goals :-/ -AmesG 11:32, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

Your version of the article is a disgrace. It's not 'simply called' act of god. That's the ver nature of 'natural disasters'.--Sherman 11:36, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

If God exists, wouldn't it be God's work that defines natural? Wouldn't everything God does be natural? What

I just don't think that God is such an immanent being that everything that happens can be attributed to him. I really doubt that God himself is personally responsible for every natural disaster that occurs and they are all conscious decisions that he makes. Rather, I believe they are a part of the mechanics that control how the world in which God made functions.--Elamdri 11:33, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

Truly our God is an awesome God. If HE chooses to hurl tornadoes, HE surely can. When we look past HIS works, like Hurricane Katrina and that monsoon in Sri Lanka, we don't learn from HIM. Calling something a "Natural Disaster" takes away the force of GOD's perfect love.Flippin 11:34, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

God created systems that do the work for him, if you believe in him. Saying he does everything directly is like saying the President makes your plumbing work.-AmesG 11:35, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

God's perfect love is to kill thousands of people with a super storm? I'm sorry but I don't subscribe to that belief.--Elamdri 11:38, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

By that logic, GOD is a so-called natural disaster. I don't think you should say that. Youm could be banned.Flippin 11:37, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

So you also don't 'buy' Noah? I thought it's a general agreement here to take the bible literally? Or am I mistaken?--Sherman 11:43, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

What the...!? Flesh that out so it makes sense. Aaaaand go! Also don't threaten me.-AmesG 11:38, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

Wasn't threatening, or didn't mean for it to be interpreted that way. But if everything comes from GOD, then it must be evidence of HIS perfect love. I know in my heart that even the soldiers who die in Iraq, fighting the muslims, are part of HIS ultimate plan. A natural disaster must be an act of GOD--a hurricane, a tornado, dinosaurs, wars and blessings. It is all part of the plan. Saying anything is natural is like going into a parking lot full of shopping carts and saying they must have gotten there by chance. Yes, at that particular second they are, but they were created by people, and thus by GOD so their placement is part of GOD's perfect will. We Christians must retalliate when so-called atheists and others try to steal the language from us. Flippin 11:45, 21 March 2007 (EDT)
