So, my furnace died. This on a weekend and it is bitterly cold. I went down to my neighbors to warm up while the nice repair guy broke into his buddies workshop to steal a motor for the furnace.

I say to my neighbor, "Boy, this is going to be expensive. I'm so glad I went to TAM before this happened, or I wouldn't have been able to buy any books or anything. In fact, I might not have even been able to go!"

My neighbor, who knows I had a great time says, "see, God didn't let your furnace break until after the meeting as he knew you would have such a good time there!"

She then went on and on about how great it is that God was looking after me.

I was thinking it would have been nice if God didn't let my furnace break at all. But people wonder why I'm a deist (or theist, I'm confused) when HE looks after me so well. Thanks God! Cause I did have fun at the meeting...

Heck I'll even have a talk with the big guy myself, and see if I can't pull some strings. Ol' Cthulhu and I go way back, you know....
 
1. You did attend TAM2.

2. Nothing happens that is contrary to God's will.

3. Therefore, it was God's will that you attend TAM2.

(And if you agree with that logic, perhaps you are interested in buying a certain bridge that connects Manhattan and Brooklyn...?)

well, I will say this for her. She is one of those REALLY nice Christians, that says things like, "I really don't think God will send you to hell, you're just deluded, not evil" and then she gives you some home made brownies. Her kids have all stopped going to church, but she says they need to break from the church so they can later be "born again". She cries because her pastor says pets don't go to heaven. I can't believe she's happy I had a great time at TAM! I've even told her the Julia Sweeney lines, and she says, "she sounds so nice, I'm sure God will call her back to his flock". I can't hate her, because she actually listens to me! She doesn't believe in UFOs or Champy or almost any woo woo, except her religion. I've won her over on all those points at least.

Maybe the furnace is the price I have to pay for enjoying myself so much at TAM2....

it was worth it
 
God broke your furnace?

Do you expect him to replace it, because my furnace broke once and it cost quite a bit.
 
It appears that God DELAYED the breaking of the furnace until after TAM2, so that Kitty could have a good time there.

This would suggest:

1. God likes to accumulate "bad times" and then let them loose on you in one go;

2. It should be possible to petition God to delay ALL bad things in your life for an indefinite period (or at least until you are dead). Then the sins of the fathers are visited on the sons, presumably.

Makes sense to me!

there was a movie about a guy who sued the church after his houseboat burning down was declaired an "act of god".

Hey, if god wants to go around destroying your property he has got to be held accountable!
 
You probably forgot to sacrife a virgin or two to the Furnace God, Baal. He is one of those jealous types who consumes furnaces of unbelievers.
The Car God got our '86 Nova shortly before TAM, and she no va.
And now, the Snow God, Frosty, has cursed my steps and driveway with solid ectoplasm. But the good news is that school's cancelled today and I can get a lot of exorcize to remove the ectoplasm.
 
Clearly, that same car god caused all those cars to stall this morning, blocking the road, and causing me to be over an hour late for work.

Not that I mind that much.
