God's revenge: Bird Flu or Volcano?
I have been thinking that God will bring his vengeance down on America with a bird flu pandemic. While that's still possible, a greater event is brewing in Yellowstone National Park. Scientists say the caldera, or underground volcano, has been filling rapidly for the past 3 years. It's growth has caused a surface deformation of 3 inches per year for the past 3 years--more than double the highest annual rate on record. An explosion of the Yellowstone Volcano would be the greatest cataclysm in human history, leaving the middle of America buried under ash, killing hundreds of thousands of people, and altering the earth's climate for years. To paraphrase Bette Midler, God is watching you--from a distance.

Surely you know that erupting volcanos are natural phenomena, not "revenge" from some fictional entity?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcano
[Excerpt]
"A volcano is an opening, or rupture, in a planet's surface or crust, which allows hot, molten rock, ash and gases to escape from below the surface. Volcanic activity involving the extrusion of rock tends to form mountains or features like mountains over a period of time.
"Volcanoes are generally found where tectonic plates pull apart or come together. A mid-oceanic ridge, for example the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, has examples of volcanoes caused by "divergent tectonic plates" pulling apart; the Pacific Ring of Fire has examples of volcanoes caused by "convergent tectonic plates" coming together. By contrast, volcanoes are usually not created where two tectonic plates slide past one another. Volcanoes can also form where there is stretching and thinning of the Earth's crust (called "non-hotspot intraplate volcanism"), such as in the African Rift Valley, the Wells Gray-Clearwater Volcanic Field and the Rio Grande Rift in North America and the European Rhine Graben with its Eifel volcanoes."

Wow. God's revenge? Are you serious?
Are you actually telling me your about as advanced in your thinking as some misinformed Jews who lived oh, about 2500-3000 years ago? Wrath of God? That is so 3 millenia ago.
Oh, wait a sec. It might be handy to have a crutch to blame everything around me on. Then nothing would ever be my fault and I would never have to investigate things further. The only trade-off is that I would be a narrow-minded git. Never mind. It's not for me. But I hope that approach works out for you.

God has more on his mind than the US. And as bad we are, there's plenty of people and countries out there doing worse. Whatever happens, happens.
