[ExI] is god to blame? or is it the fires?.

[Max More]

Pah. Such a simplistic approach is an affront to the Great Weatherman in the
Sky. Clearly what is needed is a well-formulated PGO equation ("Pissing God
Off"). Only after deep meditation on scripture by the most faithful might
such an equation be derived. I am not worthy.

But I humbly suggest it include not only the number of wicked gay people
(and other damned preverts) in a state or region, but also total number of
prayer hours, depth of devotion, amount of tithing, degree of pain inflicted
through self-flagellation, number of brave acts of faith-based denial of
evidence (especially concerning the Devilish doctrine of evilution), and
other factors that elude my unworthy mind.

PGO Equation:

Amount of precipitation and desired temperature = xGays x PH x DD x $T x
P-SF x F

All true believers must acknowledge, however, that (as St. Thomas Aquinas
observed) God is All and Infinite. Thus any offense against God is an
infinite offence deserving of infinite punishment (in this case high
temperature). The PGO Equation cannot constrain God in his infinite power
and wisdom. It can only serve as our completely irrational -- I mean
faith-based -- attempt to retain a shred of self-importance in the face of
an infinitely superior being.
