A rather nasty thread on the aptly named MADboard, begun by the militant and uber-TBM poster named Hammer, which helps reveal the mindset (and sense of humor) of certain TBMs:
Hammer wrote:I remember as a youth hearing a J. Golden Kimball story:
He had had some very life threatening and harrowing experiences in his mission among the Bible Belt Christians and once was heard saying something about killing them all and then baptising for the dead as the only way they could save these Bible thumpers.
Well as I have been watching the disasters pummelling our country I noticed an imbalanced amount of the disasters were in this area. I wonder if the Lord is trying to tell them something. wink.gif
(The thread in question is entitled, "Bible Belt Getting Belted--pelted--drowned--etc.) Some here will no doubt recall the public shaming of David Bokovoy for similar insensitive comments.
If your going to call out someone from another board for posting something inconsiderate, at least have the courtesy to acknowledge that posters on that board have already called him to task. You'll notice that I posted the following in response to Hammer:
If he's trying to tell the south something, I have to wonder what Myanmar did so wrong to make him kill 100,000+ of them.
And inasmuch as my people shall assemble themselves at the Ohio, I have kept in store a blessing such as is not known among the children of men, and it shall be poured forth upon their heads. And from thence men shall go forth into all nations.
Of course, consistency demands that they acknowledge that God it trying to send the Mormons, too, a message thanks to the tornado that whipped through Salt Lake City in 2000 or so.
"Finally, for your rather strange idea that miracles are somehow linked to the amount of gay sexual gratification that is taking place would require that primitive Christianity was launched by gay sex, would it not?"

Well, DUH!!
SLC is less than 50% Mormon now. Of COURSE a message needs to be sent.
If there's one thing I've learned from this board, it's that consensual sex with multiple partners is okay unless God commands it. - Abman
I find this place to be hostile toward all brands of stupidity. That's why I like it. - Some Schmo

If God really wanted to send a message, he should send, say, a tornado through Salt Lake valley that leaves all active, temple recommend members' homes in tact but destroys everyone else's. THAT would be too much a coincidence to miss the point.
God's problem is that he doesn't use very precise means of destruction to send his messages. Too much collateral damage. What he needs is something akin to a "smart" hurricane.
God . . . "who mouths morals to other people and has none himself; who frowns upon crimes, yet commits them all; who created man without invitation, . . . and finally, with altogether divine obtuseness, invites this poor, abused slave to worship him ..."
