Cool God hates missionary baptists?

Between the highly biblical smiting in the form of collapsing the wall of a church killing several, and the somewhat less biblical form of smiting in the form of a semi-tractor trailer hitting a church bus and killing three, there is apparently a point being made.

Thumbs down

A bunch of fatal accidents happened to these poor people; mocking them right now is extremely sick.

How would you feel if an accident happened at a Secular Humanist organization and five hours later Baptists started to joke about it being a message from God that he hates atheists?

You obviously wouldn't like it that much because that is what you are trying to make fun of with this thread, correct?

Dude, I see the point you're trying to make with this, but laughing at the deaths of innocent people isn't the way to go about it.
