TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — A prominent hard-line Iranian cleric who said promiscuity and immodest dress cause earthquakes says God may be holding off on natural disasters in the West in order to let people sin more and consign themselves to hell.
Kazem Sedighi sparked widespread derision with his pronouncements in a prayer sermon last month linking earthquakes with women’s dress. In a new sermon Friday, he has defended and elaborated on his claim.
Sedighi notes that some might ask why there aren’t more earthquakes and storms striking Western nations that are “up to their necks” in immorality.
He says the answer is that God allows some of those who “provoke His wrath” to continue sinning “so that they (eventually) go to the bottom of Hell.”
WOW! and some people will follow that hard-liner's voice. what's up with blaming women for so much disaster and turmoil anyway? I'd love to have a chat with that guy. would probably find out he has many wives and mistresses.
i don't think he would talk to you because you have a vagina and are therefore unpure
you're probably right! he might be the type that wants his women to produce his baby boys....and goes to the extreme to make sure that happens....no time for that white noise...just peevs me off
Hi friend Greek One
Maybe or may not be; he got it from the Bible; it mentions as a sign of Jesus second coming, earthquakes, plague , diseases, pestilence etc.
And you know that Jesus' Second Coming has already taken place in the form of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad 1835-1908.

sorry paarusurrey - do u mean he scewed what the bible said, 'cuz it never said women were the reason for distruction and disaster. women rule! that's all i can say.
Hi friend All-Knowing,
Yeah we know everything - you have been so persistent in forcing it down our gullets.

Couldnt have happened, inspite of the date "all eyes wil see the return of christ" and not all eyes saw that one. And much of revelation hasn't occured yet. Theres an absolute massive earthquake just prior to christs descension. So nope, im sorry.... you are very very wrong!
Oh look- a man of brilliance.
Why bother with this bs?
Hi friend RKHenry
If God Allah YHWH could send Flood to the deviant people; if that is truth in Bible; won't those who died in that flood speak of injustice done to them while all those evils are present in our time?
I think there is no harm if the humanity listens to the Message of the Creator- God Allah YHWH.

but the original post says basically the deviant people are women causing the problem. I have a big problem with that. so.....don't think the message is being defined properly. i have an issue with that.
and obviously this stuff upsets me - sheesh I posted twice!

Hi friend SomewayOuttaHere
The original post need not be correct; the deviant has no gender; a man or a woman.

good to hear that because the original post blames women - i thought u agreed with that with your post. the topic is over the top for me in relation to blaming women for disaster and destruction. not fair....
what a logic..god doesnot have any other job than causing earthquake for dresses..guess there might have been lot of earthquakes before humans discovered clothes...
Then, that wouldn't be the "peaceful" spread of earthquakes according to Sedighi?
I wonder what's stopping God from causing massive earthquakes in places that harbor murderous terrorists? Gee, I wonder which is worse--immodesty or terrorism?
Makes me think there isn't a God, or what most people believe about him just ain't so.
Theres an agenda which needs to be followed first before the wrath of god is dispensed.
As in Genesis 15:16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
here the iniquity of the amorites is become full.
Joshua 24:8 And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your hand, that ye might possess their land; and I destroyed them from before you.
point is god gave the amorites enough time to repent and turn to the god of israel and they continued in their ways and were wiped out. If you read the book of joshua you may learn this.
achon and rabah... rabah turned from her ways and became a member of the israel tribes. Achon waited until the last possible second before he confessed his sin of thievery. Rabah was taken in and shown kindness to and achon and his household was destroyed. God gave achon every possible chance to repent from his sin, whereas rabah repented from her lifestyle as israel was standing on the other side of the jordan river, at floodtime, before god dried it up and allowed israel to cross on dry ground. Good book joshua.. it shows the christian walk as they change from signs and wonders (pillar of fire, manna from heaven, cloud etc) into a 'faith' walk with god.
Then how does he explain the disastrous earthquakes that have struck Iran many times over?
I think I best go and call an eathquake.... Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to sin I go......
Hi friend earnestshub
Just remain peaceful. The Promised Messiah 1835-1908 has suspended it.

My boyfriend and I were together for about a month. Just about a week ago he dumped me saying..."he didn't want a girl at the moment", I want him back so badly and he told me in the near future when he wanted a girl he'd definitely think about me again. But, I don't know what to do to...

Do you believe that a financial crisis is coming in the near future?Global Currency Reset. The collapse of the dollar. A severe stock market crash twice as bad as 1929. I'm hearing from so many that it is a certainty. Do you expect one to take place soon?
