How do you know that Chris? Worst this that and the other for 240 years. Is that really coincidental timing?
Incidentally I know Dally is just on the wind up, but I despair at just how many people there are, in the 21st century, who would really believe that local floods in one corner of one continent would be a sensible way to "punish" a section of a population. For starters, 99% of the "punished" absolutely don't believe it is anything to do with any god - even if it was - so it is singularly pointless. The few siren voices that do seek to convince are roundly ridiculed. So what would be the feckin point? What would this god be achieving?
Secondly, given that god is supposed to be literally omnipotent, how come he can't come up with anything more relevant? Is he just totally unimaginative, or what?
What of god's most loyal followers who fully support his homophobic views, yet happen to live in Somerset and are under four feet of water, having lost everything? Oh wait - no, I think I may know this one; that's just a "test of their faith". Am I right?
Next, what exactly was it that the dinosaurs did to pi ss god off?
And given a large slice of the world gets flooded to buggery in monsoons on an annual basis, which god/gods did the people in those countries annoy?
And given the freezing cold and extreme blizzards in the Antarctic, I don't even want to know what the penguins did wrong.
