A Christian minister claims the tsunami of Sunday, Dec. 26, killing at least 160,000 people, was direct result of "pleasure seekers" breaking God's Sabbath.

In the February issue of his church magazine, Rev. John MacLeod of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland writes: "Possibly ... no event since Noah's flood has caused such loss of life by drowning as the recent Asian tsunami. That so many of our fellow creatures should have perished in so short a time, and in so awful a fashion, was a divine visitation that ought to make men tremble the world over."

3. Was It The Sabbath There, Sir?

I know the Malay coast is on the other side of the international dateline, but that whole business confuses me somewhat....

5. The Sabbath is on Saturday!

The Catholic Church changed it to appease Pagan Sun worshipers and celebrate the day that Jesus arose from the dead. But just because humans say the Sabbath is on Sunday, does not make it true! Idiot!!

6. Idiot is right!

The only pleasure-seekers are those acting "divine," in the name of (their, not our) God, (poor God, using his name in vain) to continue to brainwashing of so many non and under-educated Americans so easily swayed, and void of hero's.

So-called Christian ministers like MacLeod have disgraced religion giving my religion a bad name! The nerve; How Christian-like (not!) to show absolutely no compassion (in the name of Christianity) for so many victims that lost their lives, and the survivors that lost entire families and everything they owned from an act of "nature," not "God from a tsunami wave. I don't know who his God is, but my God's been over-used and in such a cruel way.

Something wicked this way "came" since the year 2000.

7. OMG. An Earthquake caused the Tsunami, not man directly or otherwise

Can't people use events to come closer together instead of using it to point their fingers at "the other guy"?

I believe God exists, but God doesn't go around unleashing tsunamis or letting airplanes fly into skyscrapers.

8. Are they sharing writers with the Weekly World News?

Freaks.

9. "Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy. . . ."

If the fundies and wingers want to really follow the bible (mythology) then the day the should keep is the Jewish Sabbath and probably follow the other rules for Sabbath keeping found in the Bible.

It is always amazing to me how these fundies and wingers (right wing religious ding a lings, evangelicals etc) just pick and choose which part of the bible they want to follow -- and how the pick and choose which part of the bible they want to use to hit "heathens" over the head.

This commandment is in the old testament -- and the day did not change -- just because Christ rose from the dead on a Sunday in the new testament.

As was stated earlier on this thread --- Sunday observant of the sabbath is a PAGAN DAY. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. As is the Christmas day birth of Christ celebration.

If Christ were here today he'd be kicking the Falwell and Robertsons out of the temple for being money hungry whores -- and he'd probably be preaching to the real down and outs -- that is if one is to believe that such a person existed.
