I believe it's in the heart of the earth. I suspect that earthquakes happen because hell is enlarging itself. But's that's my opinion.

Well, you know what they say about opinions... and, no, you're wrong. The earth's internals are molten rock and metal with a solid core in the very center.
Opinions don't count here. A simple geology class already knows since the end of the nineteenth century at least. It happens because of the movement of tectonic plaques. That's fact, scientifically proved and whose occurrence can be predicted, not an opinion.
i thought the earth was flat. at least that's what the bible tells us--some bull about the four corners right? how can hell be inside of a flat square earth???
if fundies think to hard, their heads explode.
When I took a college-level course about natural disasters, the textbook would almost invariably discuss subduction zones as "thrusting into the soft underbelly" of the upthrust plate.
That kind of language tends to make plate tectonics stick in the mind.
It's all your fault then, fundies, all the people you damn to hell are expanding their territory. Soon there'll be enough of them to split the planet in two.
And you gonna die with everyone else.
I read this site daily to take my mind off of work with a quick giggle at some fundie nonsense,but damn all this fucking stupid asshattery is starting to make my brain hurt.When you read the bible does it shut your common sense off? If the poster really believes this,should they be allowed to vote? Should they be allowed to raise children in abject ignorance? Shouldn't they be in a home for the mentally simple someplace? For fuck's sake think about what you are writing.I feel better now.
"I think the death penalty should be abolished."
"I believe that hockey is the best sport."
These are opinions. They are personally held beliefs of a subjective manner are subject to change based on the outlook of the opinion holder, and by definition have no right or wrong answer.
"I believe that Hell is in the heart of the Earth and its expansion is causing earthquakes."
"I believe that there's an impenatrable barrier that separates the clouds from the Earth which occassionally opens to allow rain to fall, and every space mission has been faked because they would have crashed into this barrier."
"I believe that 2 + 2 = chicken"
These are just wrong. They're not opinions, they're statements of ignorance or falsehood.
I'm hoping it's ignorance.

Where do I begin? This is my major, and this reasoning is so twisted... Earthquakes happen along faults, at plate boundaries. A fundie would say that God is punishing evil places like San Francisco and L.A., but this doesn't explain why unpopulated areas like the Aleutians get so many quakes, or a sinful city like Boston (permits gay marriage (!)) gets almost none. A perfect god wouldn't allow for this oversight.
How can Hell be expanding when the LAWD has put strict limits on Satan and all his little wizards?
Of course the number of souls entering Hell is increasing all the time as a function of population growth. This means the pressure in Hell must also be rising. Eventually the pressure will exceed Hell's design specifications. It was desined to hold the damned up to about CE 80 as Jebus said hell be back about then. So earthquakes are a result of Hell bursting at the seams. Eventually the whole shebang will give resulting in all Hell Breaking Loose resulting in Hell on Earth.
Now since fundies already claim it is Hell on Earth then this must of already happened. And since Hell has gone boom there is effectivly no more eternal punishment and we can commit whatsoever evils we desire.
Now excuse me, I have to lead the damned armies in their hellish crusade.
WTF? Now the Earth has a heart? But... that heart is Hell. So does that mean the planet Earth is evil?
QUICK! Summon XENU, Tom Cruise! He will save us from teh evul Earth!
My real fear - horror really - is that sometime these dunces will get into power and be able to control govt scientists. Then we'll have research into whether the earth is flat, hell exists at the core, sun round moon etc., etc.
But hey! we're close to it now, with GWB in the White House, and the "boy from the manse" at number 10...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Wow. So these people DO actually believe that the sky is solid? Man, that's denial of reality on an epic scale.
Hm. I think some basic seismology lessons are in order here. (I may not be able to understand the math they use to prove that the remnants of the Farrallon plate are dribbling down into a gigantic pile thousands of miles beneath my feet, but I can at least understand that they know where it is because they understand wave propagation. I'm pretty certain Hell would change that wave propagation dramatically.)
Nah, everyone knows it's because the turtles the Earth is resting on are arguing! Or maybe the elephants are tired. Or maybe it's a frog. Or maybe it's a giant catfish. Or maybe God's dog is scratching his fleas.

So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
