Actually, I wrote an excellent blog on why natural disasters are occuring.
They are occuring because God loves us. He loves us enough to say, if you want to reject me, I won't do a thing. But you're not going to like the consequences.
Through out the book of judges, we see that kind of judgement God gave to Israel. He didn't send armies to enslave them when they idol worshipped, he just lifted his protection from them, and then the armies would come in.
Same thing environmentally. If we are choosing mammon (materialism) over God, than what do you expect, especially that thrist for mammon is putting so much green house gases into the atmosphere.
So God isn't 'passing' judgement on us, we're passing judgement onto ourselves for not seeking God and seeking mammon instead.

If God sends a hurricane as punishment, I can draw two conclusions:

"Actually, I wrote an excellent blog....".
I didn't bother reading past that.
Amen.
There may be an enviromental point as to being less materialistic. If it takes the Fear of God to make people come around, then so be it.
Sound a bit absurd though.

Paradox?
"Actually, I wrote an excellent blog on why natural disasters are occuring."
Hate to break this to you, really I do, but rather than being excellent, I'm betting that it sucks big time.

I like to think my blogs are excellent.
"He loves us enough to say, if you want to reject me, I won't do a thing. But you're not going to like the consequences."
Somewhat contradictory, isn't it? "I won't do a thing but watch out!" Pretty much as contradictory as giving us free will and then slaughtering people by the million because they don't follow his primitive teachings.
Then Christians wonder why so many people turn away from religion.

My, what a kind and loving God you worship.
I love the policy of "I'll give you free will, but throw you to the pits if you don't use it to become one of my cheerleaders."

If you look past the fundie-language, this is a good commentary on how humanity has destroyed the environment through greed and extravagance rather than maintaining the Earth carefully. However the first three paragraphs are garbage and obscure the message. If you want to make people aware of greenhouse gases and environmental damage cause by mankind then this is not the way to do it.
"we're passing judgement onto ourselves for not seeking God and seeking mammon instead."
Judge me all you want, but I'm not even remotely interested in acquiring a Mammoth.

God gave the Military Power of the US to the Israelis.
Guess that god of yours hate the US more than he hates Sweden. We have virtually no "Acts of God" over here, but you have one Act after the Other. Irene was so feeble when it hit us we didn't even notice her. She killed people in the US.
Oh wait, maybe it's because we're choosing caring for each other, regardless of religion, political view, gender, age or sexual orientation, over Mammon? We gladly pay taxes when we know that less fortunate people get to live a fairly decent life, thanks to our contribution.
You were saying...?
He's right. We in the US should reject the party that promotes corporate greed and environmental degradation. Don't for republicans because GoodNewsJounralist says they're anti-god!
That is where you were going, wasn't it?
"Actually, I wrote an excellent blog on why natural disasters are occuring."
I'm pretty sure pride is a sin, y'know. Isn't that how Lucifer fell?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
