t-shirt, of course made from recycled cotton scraps and plastic bottles. So add us on Skype
at DavidPakmanShow if you're interested in playing. That's coming up later on the show.
It's incredible, Louis. It's all happening. Congratulations to you, first and foremost.
Louis Motamedi: Thank you.
David: We had an earthquake here at the studio the other day, and... two days ago, as a matter
of fact, and in certain other parts of the country too. The epicenter was in I believe
Mineral, Virginia, and here it was... I want to say it was 25 or 30 seconds of shaking;
it was probably more like 15.
And I was just here in the studio by myself doing some work, and all of our lights started
shaking. At first I thought I was just dizzy, but then I realized no, the lights were shaking
too, and that's not in my head. A lot of stuff is in my head only that happens in life generally
to me, but...
Louis: Yeah, a lot of really crazy things.
David: But the earthquake was not only in my head. And I went outside and everybody
was walking out kind of confused. And right away, of course, people blaming... not so
much blaming God, but saying this is evidence that God is angry for liberal stuff, right,
Louis? So this counts everything from, for example, Joe who said, "Washington, D.C. earthquake
today reaches other states, including New York. Perhaps the message is from our Lord
God that we need to stop removing Jesus from our schools and the public forum and replacing
God with garbage."
There's too much anti-Jesus stuff going on, Louis, and that is why we had an earthquake,
pretty mild, in most cases, that a couple people felt as a minor vibration.
Louis: Right.
David: Because of course, if God really was paying attention to whether there is same-sex
marriage legislation passed or not, and if that made God angry, he would send a very
minor tremor to Massachusetts, which was the first state to have same-sex marriage, for
example. Perfectly logical, Louis.
Louis: Yeah. Maybe he was just tired and didn't want to do like a full-blown 10 on the Richter
scale, you know? Just a little warning.
David: A lot of explanations for this. And of course, Edward saying, "It's obvious from
this earthquake that has happened that God is angry with us, and I am almost sure that
it is because we allowed gay marriage to happen, and also that our government is not following
Christianity." Ah. Hmm. He's almost sure. Not completely sure, but he's almost sure
that it's because of gay marriage that we had a very minor earthquake here in Massachusetts
and across the Eastern Seaboard. Brilliant stuff, really.
Louis: I have a theory.
David: Do you think these people really believe that when they say it? In other words, it's
not... if you don't believe that we had a minor earthquake because God is angry because
of liberal stuff, you probably wouldn't say it, because you'd be ashamed if people believed
you thought that.
Louis: Right.
David: At the same time, how does someone really believe that that could be the case?
I don't know, it's weird. It's hard for me to wrap my mind around, it really is.
Louis: How does someone like Sarah Palin? These are questions we ask all the time. We
have no answers.
David: So there... it's just a lot of things we don't have answers to.
Louis: Right.
David: Which is why a lot of people believe in God, interestingly enough, but a lot of
those... bringing up new questions.
Louis: It's convenient.
David: It feels like when you hear about these accusations, and we heard it with the Japanese
Fukushima disaster, and we hear it with just about every natural disaster, Katrina and
so many others, it feels like what you would read in a book or story about 2000 years ago,
or, you know, 1000 years ago, when people didn't understand anything about science and
they thought, for example, the sun coming up was, I don't know, the eyes of a monster
opening, or it's tantamount to that when I hear many of these things.
But now we know so much more, and it really feels like being transported to another place
and time when I read about the earthquake is because God is angry about gay marriage.
Louis: Yeah, you're right, it's archaic.
David: Thank you, Louis. I'm glad you agree with me.
