God

[TomK]

a relatively short collection of statements about religion..

Considering that none of this.. going all the way back to Rob's original brief statement has had anything to do with religion, except for tangentially, and barely at that, I take your post as just another example of poor comprehension... and an overwhelming need to edit reality to fit your own narrative rather than grok what's right in front of you.

Really Tom.. you're forgetting the power of your own silence.

Once again, you want me to stay silent. Why? 

Rob claimed that  "And some say there is no God." I think that has something to do with religion. If you want to argue that a god has nothing to do with religion, well, good luck with that. In the meantime, despite people giving offerings to Pele, hundreds of people's homes were destroyed. In other terms, it seems Pele is an asshole and decided to wipe out people's homes no matter what. Scientific evidence suggests this was an inevitable event, but if Pele had decided differently, it wouldn't have happened. So you have to think there is no goddess, or Pele is a nasty individual, created by who knows what, who uses her powers to destroy people's homes and lives. Who created that goddess? Well, it must have been a superior god, and that god had no problem wiping out people's homes.

No matter what, we're dealing with gods and goddesses who seem quite evil, according to what you posted. Hopefully, you can now understand why I think your post is full of bullsh*t and ill-thought-out religious nonsense.
