Why do natural disasters always strike highly religious areas? The bible belt is devastated by tornadoes and hurricanes every year. Don't they wonder why us liberal godless heathens on the coasts aren't feeling some divine wrath, too?
- vikram 19y agoMaybe it's the other way around. Those areas are religious because they have more natural disasters. Things that are out of their control.
- mark-t 19y agoThat's a very strange opinion.
- mark-t 19y agoWould somebody care to explain to me what's wrong with my comment? I'll admit it's short. Is there something more fundamentally wrong? Feeding trolls? Frankly, a belief that natural disasters only strike highly religious areas is quite strange, and I see no evidence for it. As Goladus pointed out, San Francisco gets earthquakes; that was also the first thing I thought of. But is there any part of the planet that doesn't suffer from natural disasters? I don't think anybody could make the original assertion without realizing these problems, and my explanation shouldn't be needed. If I could, I would have downmodded it.
- cellis 19y agoheh, here in michigan we get um, snow, the occasional freezing rain. But we're pretty much eventless (somehow attributable to the water around us i think)
- apgwoz 19y agoMaybe it's God's way of telling us, "You Idiots, I'm not real."
- Goladus 19y agoSomething like 85% of the world is religious: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Worldwide_percentage_of_Adherents_by_Religion.png http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Worldwide_percentage_of_A... non-religious: 11.92% atheist: 2.35% For every earthquake in San Francisco it seems reasonable to expect at least 6 or 7 in other parts of the world. I downmodded because I'd rather this forum not be burdened with trite religion-bashing posts.
