It took me maybe 2 minutes to come up with 5 of the deadliest earthquakes in the 21st century, the most recent previous solar eclipse and its location. It shouldn’t be too hard for you to come up with some basic data.

I don’t believe in god. I’m not fussed about that debate. Claiming that god will cause an earthquake under a solar eclipse because the Americans chose the wrong president isn’t going to change that. I’d rather focus on the “solar eclipses cause earthquakes” topic we’ve found ourselves on.

In other words, I'm uncomfortable thinking about Almighty God and I'd rather not focus on my faith, which I am certain isn't religious!
A familiar position, and the denial that comes with it.

As for the claim, "Claiming that god will cause an earthquake under a solar eclipse because the Americans chose the wrong president" is not the issue and it never was. This is more to do with a nation founded on Biblical principles turning against those principles and therefore against God.

I'm certain that you will think this has nothing whatsoever to do with yourself and it won't impact you in any way, and this is where we differ, greatly.

Lastly, why do you think this isssue related to 1999 is a 'wild claim' (?). The average amount of deaths across the WHOLE of Europe in the 20th Century from quakes was less then 39 people per week. Yet in less than one week 17,000 people perished due to a major quake in a country darkened by that total eclipse. If you are so willingly blind that you can't see anything out of the ordinary in that, then why should I spend more time trying to demonstrate something you wish to remain in denial about?
