I'm with OP. I don't get why this eclipse is such a big deal. They happen all the time. We just had one like 6 months ago. WTF?
do you watch aggie football games every weekend during the fall?

They happen every week We just had one 4 months ago.

WTF?
Only the games that last over 4 minutes and only watch them on tv.

WTF?

Astronomers have known there's going to be a total eclipse in 2024 (as well as many others) for hundreds of years. This isn't some random action from god because of what's happened over the last few years.
No, I don't care what CNN or MSNBC said this time

In fact, it is even moreso since the movement of celestial bodies have been understood for centuries. And eclipses can be predicted with almost pinpoint accuracy.

Especially when combined with some of her previous statements.

nope. this statement of her is just as stupid as the Guam one.

they have absolutely nothing to do with warnings of God, gods, or any sort of spiritual entities.
She may be correct, or wrong. I am in no position to tell. However, Johnson is truly an idiot.

The radical left wing deep state is selling eclipse sunglasses that turn you trans when you look directly into the eclipse. Be safe out there fam.

Well, perhaps most dumbasses. There is, apparently, a level below that.

Not to defend MTG, but I strongly disagree. Nothing is dumber than thinking islands float on top of water, which is obviously what Johnson believes if it can flip.

I once saw Bugs Bunny lasso an island with a rope from a motor boat and tow if off. Why don't we do this before hurricanes hit islands?

Better yet, why can't we just pick up North America and allow the hurricane to pass under us. Like a car going under a bridge.

And I am going to strongly disagree as well.

Tens of thousands of earthquakes occur all over the planet, every year. MTG is explicitly saying these are all warnings from God. She did not single out a specific one, so she must believe they are all a warning.

And not just natural movements of the earth.

Eclipses are known events that can be predicted with almost 100% accuracy, centuries in advance, as someone else pointed out. Annular and full eclipses occur regularly at some point on the earth all the time. Why is this one a warning from God and others are not?

10 seconds on wikipedia or any recent news article could have provided her with an iota of a clue. Assigning divine providence to these events is stupid. She uttered an utter stupidity to serve as red meat for idiot religio-conservatives to clap their hands like trained seals as if she was making a valid point.

She was not.

Why is it so hard to admit her comment and the point she was trying to make was as dumb a thing that anyone could possibly utter. Including islands tipping over.

It shows she cannot be bothered to educate herself before shooting off her mouth

and it shows that the representatives from Georgia, whether they are Democrat ()Johnson) or Republican (MTG) are a bunch of uneducated idiots.
With the predictability of Eclipses who is to say God is not correct? Just asking.

Morons who always claim to know exactly what their supreme deity of choice is doing and why always crack me up. Maybe they have their phone lines tapped or something.

But heck, I guess it's no dumber than thanking them for helping to score touchdowns.

Democrats are brain dead but about half the people on our side are pretty competitive in that department. Freaking embarrassing.

Are you joking? Her comment is about on the level of "A monster is eating the sun!!!!" Or did you intend to debate whether or not football games are divinely contrived?

More apocalyptic than someone saying something about the eclipse

In Bandera. Gotta say with all the hype, it is spectacularly quiet. Just got back from seeing friends at their camp site... maybe 50% full. Watched the womens game in a bar earlier - also pretty dead.

The bar wasn't packed for a women's sporting even? Odd.

And I will respectfully disagree with you. I believe there is a God, who created every quark and every constant in existence. I believe in a God whose will holds this all together. He knows every feather on every sparrow, caused them and knows their future. I believe this God created this earth, its tectonic plates, its subduction zones and its earthquakes. I don't pretend to know why he has created this masterpiece in the manner He did, and why He takes some lives and spares others, but random chance and references to purely naturalistic coincidences don't do it for me.
I guess that makes me a idiot religio-conservative, but at least I'm smart enough not to lump everyone I disagree with into reductionist simplistic labels. SMH

It couldn't be that an ultra rare event that will draw millions of people from around the world will tax the resources of small towns that don't normally have to deal with something like this.
IT HAS to be some type of conspiracy to control the sheep!

GTFO


I love Jesus Christ.

I know you think you're cute and clever, but you can actually look directly at the eclipse during totality. But knowing your posting history it's not surprising these simple concepts are difficult for you to grasp.
