Ask the Gopher

There is a Mar a lago site that should be levelled with the ground, though.

How bitter.

It's weird how FB is showing "revenge plots" of nature and such. Same shit as uttered by true fundamentalists. Just a different supreme being.

Never got those punishing schemes.

The sinners of Houston clearly had it coming to them.

  Sitcom actor-turned-fundie PITA Kirk Cameron says the hurricanes were sent by God to teach us humility.
   When an earthquake topples his L.A. house, I'm sure he will stand fast in his fine Christian convictions.

Wonder what humility people living in simple house on Caribbean islands had to learn. They probably had sinful thoughts.

It's weird that this whole thing gets a life outside fundamentalist circles.

But then new age people explaining their fate in the choices they made before being incarnated again made no sense to me either. Some thought it was a liberation from how they were raised with the concept of predestination.
To me there was no difference. It either was a deity planning this "for your own good" or your former self planning it similarly "for your own good".

Either way, screwed by incomprehensible wisdom.

  Yeah, I guess the whole notion that you chose your life's hardships when you were a soul waiting to be born
  might be very comforting/empowering if you're in the right frame of mind, but I would no more suggest that
  notion to someone (even if I believed it) than I would suggest that some deity was punishing them.

Think of it as karma.

How are your trees today?

[Gopher Gary]

They're good. The eye wall stayed east of us so it wasn't too bad here. Our neighborhood has a lot of old trees, but only one house got smashed. Some water came in the sunroom but that was more hassle than damage, and the yard and roof was a sea of small branches. We spent the first half of the day cleaning up the water and the front yard, and then sent the boy over to clean up his grandma's yard. The power's been out for about twenty hours and I don't know when it will be back up, so I'm posting on generator fuel.

Glad to hear the gopher family and their trees and burrows are OK.

Obsessed with sockpuppets as ever, I see.

I never believe a single word she says.
