...weather, which is chaotic by definition. It's a function of the physics involved. Be glad there is weather here...

be glad there is weather!!!!! you should try growing up in the north east of england. see how you feel about weather then. even the cold vacuum of space would be light relief in comparison.
You forget that I live in the Great American Southwest Deserts, where for three to five months out of the year the temp hits 40 degrees C regularly and often tops 45C. The official record for where I live was 50C, reached several years ago.

Did you ever find time to tune in to central Arizona's Christian radio stations? Any thoughts on Andrew Tallman, Prophet Dr. Ron Dubrul, Dr. Frank Evans, or Bible Answer Man Hank Hanegraaff?

Originally posted by Paul Dirac IIThe only Christian radio station I can receive on my small walkman radio is 90.3 FM (not even sure where it's from), but I don't really find much reason to listen to it. I also shy away from most televangelists because in my opinion they tend to hold the love of money higher than the love of God. I will admit that I am not familiar with any of those people you name, though.

At work (which is where I do most of my radio listening), my workmates are mostly 20-50 year olds, mainly of a secular nature, although I do enjoy talking to a group of black, mainly southern baptist women on occasion. 🙂 Sometimes I'll feel the need for some Godly feedback and will tune into the Christian station for a few 'amen!'s, then it's back to listening to music, hehe.

Rather than repeatedly going back to the 'God is a right bastard' well, I'm more of the idea that most planets in the universe (at least those that are earth-like, consisting of a rocky surface with an atmosphere and surface water (all necessary to life, I might point out)) have weather, which is chaotic by definition. It's a function of the physics involv ...[text shortened]... Be glad there is weather here. Without weather, I doubt there would be human life, either.

Weather happens. Deal with it. It's the way it's always been.
Yeah, it sucks that the hurricane blew your house down. Evolve and build stronger somewhere else. Whining to God about it won't change much and is kind of a passive-aggressive way of dealing with it, you know?

Originally posted by SuzianneMy go-to channel for Christian radio was 1360 AM, until Mr. Tallman was terminated a couple years ago. I never did hear why they dropped him. He was an interesting guy, with a degree in philosophy from some Midwestern college. I think he has moved to the Pacific Northwest.

Other names that come to mind from possibly a different AM station ("Family Values Radio 1010 AM" may be the one I am thinking of, or KXEG which is 1280 AM) are Prophetess Julia Coleman and Pastor John Hagee. You'll know it is the prophetess if you hear somebody saying "My God!" in about every fourth sentence out of her mouth.
I tune in to Trinity Broadcasting TV once in a blue moon. There is about a 50% chance that when I watch it will be someone preaching on how you need to sew a seed in order to get a good harvest. In this context, "seed" = check, money order, or any major credit card. 😵

Originally posted by Paul Dirac III don't think that they really teamed up I put a 2 because the book of job and a 1 because the word says that God makes it rain on the just and the unjust. Also the 10 plagues if that's how you spell it well in exodus the devil mocked God by coping him is some of them.
Worth noting:
The biblical book of Job has God and the Evil One teaming up to devastate a particular family, which is why I included my choice #3.
