10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
You don't put God to the test by putting yourself in a dangerous situation and expecting him to just save you from your own stupidity.
God sent the evacuation alert for them. They used their free will to choose to stay. Even if you look at it from their perspective, it's a fucking stupid choice. XD
A follower of God is supposed to obey the authorities up to the point it conflicts with God's requirements. Since most of God's laws are stricter/safer than most governments, they should not clash. Evac orders do not clash with God's laws, so they are to be followed.
I distinctly remember God had Noah build the boat himself...
Someone better be polishing the Darwin Awards.
Well, bless their hearts!
Oh no! These Lord people will lower down tRump numbers if it sweeps them!
Others who fled spoke of their dread at what, if anything, they would return to once the storm had passed.
At least they won't be part of the debris.
Damn, Tokajer doesn't mess around
Nor should he. Ignoring evacuation orders for a hurricane like this one when able to evacuate is a very selfish form of suicide.
The least these assholes can do is make things a little easier for the likely critically understaffed and ridiculously underpaid workers who are going to collect their bodies.
Maybe it's because I'm not from hurricane country, but I'll never understand why people refuse to leave when told. Are they afraid looters are going to get their stuff? Then just file an insurance claim when you get back. People seem so obstinately stubborn about it for no discernable reason.
Looked to me like the finger of god incoming, but adults get to make their own choices
Yep dad & sister stayed in ft myers... hopefully hear from them tomorrow
"The Lord" is telling you to fucking move. "The Lord" does not reach down from on high.
That faith won't keep the water out, stupid. Man, nothing fails like prayer.
