LMAO http://www.sacbee.com/news/nation-world/national/article170265837.html then there are these pastors http://www.sltrib.com/religion/global/2017/08/30/where-are-the-condemnations-of-harvey-as-gods-punishment/ http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2017/08/31/pastor-claims-hurricane-harvey-was-gods-punishment-for-texas-failure-to-pass-anti-lgbt-law/ http://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/849194/hurricane-harvey-end-of-the-world-apocalypse-hurricane-harvey-path-texas http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017/08/31/max-lucado-what-harvey-teaches-us-as-christians.html http://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressivesecularhumanist/2017/08/hurricane-harvey-pastor-refuses-evacuate-family-says-god-will-provide/ SMALLER government is the conservative answer. I dont know how you can claim that its one sided, in anyway shape or form. Its been the "government" cutting funding to fema, and regulations. Apparently you want to pick and choose where government helps

It really made me laugh. And I miss Dave Allen on religious jokes

Well, red states DO tend to be in the SE US and hurricanes tend to hit......guess where? Of course, but rational explanations supported by centuries of observation and scientific enquiry are a lot less fun than suggesting that God is picking on somebody, aren't they? but rational explanations supported by centuries of observation and scientific enquiry also doesn't get butts in the pews and/or on the TV & cell phone, and subsequently making donations to support religious leaders driving around in expensive cars, owning their own private jets, and living in McMansions ether.

Well, obviously, but I don't think the telly baptists like to admit that that's the root of their issue with the Godless secular humanists, do they?

thank heaven for small mercies. being against fema spending and safety of citizens around superfund sites in flood areas, has nowt to do do with god, has everything to do with funding cuts.

Some of them might be taking the piss, after all, unlike Falwell, Robertson or the late Phelps. Leftists are literally all insane howlers.

Disapproving of state education does equal disapproval of education because functionally, unless u have the money, u have no access to it equally. Objecting to state religion does not equal objecting to religion. But there should be no state religion to start with because THAT is unconstitutional.... period. Objecting to a state-enforced equality does equal being against equality because functionally, unless u have the money, u have no access to it equally, nor will it be enforced equally, nor will the benefits of equality be equal. indeed and so on. The biggest reason why there is a State or Federal anything, is because whatever was that badly needed, would not or could not occur or be enforced on its own.
