One of the key tenets of Christianity seems to be that God is responsible for everything that happens. Whenever a Christian survives a near death experience they are always quick to thank God, even if they should be surrounded by those that God chose to strike down. Such was the case recently when a plane crash landed in the middle of a crowded market in the Congo, killing at least 36 but sparing those on board.

On the flip side they are quick to attribute any disaster to the wrath of God. John Hagee for example has blamed the destruction of New Orleans on tolerance for homosexuality. Pat Robertson blamed America for the terrorist attacks of 9/11, saying it was punishment for turning our back on God.

So what then do you think fundies will make of this?

Gotta Love the Onion There has been a growing debate between the pro-science crowd and the makers of the creationist propaganda film “Expelled” (The one with Ben Stein). Of course I’m referring to debate in a very loose manner as its impossible to actually have a debate when the anti-science position is represented by clowns [...]
