I knew it wouldn't take long to blame Houston for Harvey

ETA:  I don't know why that doesn't surprise me.

You missed this one Professor blames Harvey on GOP voters

Based on Harvey it is hard to tell if Houston is too liberal for God or too conservative. 

So Christian like of him.

It is very sad and unbelievable that people are thinking these comments, and even worse publicly announcing them.  While this professor didn't actually blame the GOP, he did insinuate that it might be karma.  That was a horrible and uncalled for comment and he was promptly fired from his position for it.

Hopefully the followers of the Rick Wiles and Dave Daubenmire have done the same...or maybe they believe the same crap that these two "Christians" are spewing.  It makes me so sad.

SMH...

Not defending this Professor in any way. He shouldn't have used twitter with only a certain number of character if he really wanted to get his message across. This was his reason for saying what he did:-

“I was referring to the GOP denial of climate change science and push to decrease funds from agencies that can help in a time like this,” Storey told ABC Action News. “I hope all affected by the storm are safe and recover quickly. I also hope this helps the GOP realize the need to support climate change research and put in place better funding for agencies like NOAA and FEMA.”

Storey continued, “I’ve been clear with that through various tweets that followed the initial tweet. It is hard to express one’s full thoughts in 140 characters and I realize that taken out of context some tweets may sound extremely off-putting. I never intended it to be that.”

If you had to project the path of karma, would it not bite you first? People say mean things all the time. Maybe he didn't really mean it right?

You are absolutely right. People should be responsible for the disgusting things they say

That was my first thought as well.



And geez, but who decides to use a natural disaster that has ruined millions of lives to go, "Haha! Told you so! Should have followed my beliefs! Now you have the wrath of God rained down upon you!"

I mean, truly, anyone who wants to try to push their beliefs (political or religious) by being nasty and casting blame during this type of catastrophe is truly a bad person. There is no "but" about it.

I hate that these idiots can say that shit in the name of "Christian beliefs". It's as far from being Christ-like as I've ever seen and known.


Years back here, a small city flooded horribly from a creek--no one ever saw it coming or imagined it would ever happen. A death resulted from the flood.

So called Christians came out and said it was God's hand because the town had a big Harry Potter event and it was "witchcraft".

People are unbelievable as to what they believe sometimes.

As I said above he was promptly fired and I am okay with that, even when he has tried to explain he was referencing climate change.  

He said it and he needs to own it...just as should Trump or anyone else using twitter to make bold/idiotic statements.

I can understand why you loathe what he said and hopefully you feel the same way about the other 2 people that were mentioned on this thread...that you did not denounce or mention at all.

What the hell is wrong with these people???

They should STFU and get down here and help since they seem to have a lot of spare time. We have shelters, organizations and people that desperately need help.
