Now you're really out there.
If God is not responsible for Climate change then who is?

Clearly Trump's comment was sarcastic and disrespectful. Blasphemy.

Trump's comments were only "sarcastic and disrespectful" to those in Al Gore's Climate Cult who hate him.

But "Blasphemy?" Little harsh don't you think? Maybe this cold weather is getting to you. Perhaps you should take a break, and enjoy your vacation. If not, awareness will lower the boom on you for being a rabid "fundamentalist" who runs around yelling "blasphemer."

In the 1970s I was at Rice University, we had a professor who was going to Antarctica every summer to take readings. There were scientists examining the theory underpinning climate change. These people did not know Al Gore or Donald Trump. They did know the theory that the industrial revolution was burning fossil fuel and changing the atmosphere in the process.

If you deny the scientists calling them a "cult", "atheists" and "agnostics" then you are making this all about God. You started down this path. If anyone is too harsh it is you in your denial of any and all who would raise an alarm.

To summarize:

Revelation clearly describes a judgement of God on the Sun. He pours out a bowl on the Sun and as a result it can burn men with fire and great heat.

My interpretation is that there is a definite order --

1. God speaks a word

2. Man disobeys that word

3. God judges Man

4. Man either repents as King David did, or he blasphemes as those in Revelation do.

Ohio, Awareness and I all agree that God judges the sun. The issue is in points 1 and 2.

I argue that God spoke a word to us to "tend the garden" and to not "partake of the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil". We disobeyed. That sin resulted in God's judgement.

If the past is any measure I would guess that Awareness sees this judgement by God as some kind of ancient mythology of a vengeful God.

Ohio has yet to tell us what the word was that God spoke that man subsequently disobeyed resulting in this judgement.

Liberals are convinced that God is judging us for voting for Trump.

He made the skies BLUE to inform us of His command, but we disobeyed.

I live in NYC, I have many relatives in Mass, Boston, etc. Doctors, lawyers, liberal elites. Never once have I heard anyone say that Climate change is judgement for the US voting for Donald Trump.

I have heard outrage, revulsion, and general repugnance at some of his more offensive quotes, but in all of that I still have not heard reference to "God's judgement" associated with the comments aimed at Trump by the Liberal Elites I come in contact with.

Oh really? You never heard that Hurricane Harvey which devastated Houston last year was God's judgment upon them for voting for Trump? Seriously?

Perhaps your family never told you this, but I heard it and read it.

But still ... do you really believe your recent comment about God's judgment of the earth in Revelations was due to Adam and Eve eating the TotKoGaE and not "tending the garden" properly?
