At last count, 40 people are dead, 50 billion dollars in "damages", countless lives altered, some forever. All due to one major storm.
Where was "God"? Oh, that's right. He's still there, just not responsible for the devastation. How do we know? Because , "Thanks to God, my family is safe."
It's the same old story, disaster after disaster, tragedy after tragedy. Blame the results on "mother nature", but give credit to some "father figure" for lives saved or some event averted. Don't people understand the fallacy of this rationalization? Are believers really that blind? I hate to use words like stupid or ignorant, because they all aren't. Perhaps they're just obstinate. They refuse to give up their faith, their god, their precious religion. Blind faith indeed.
This subject has been written about for ages. Will it ever sink in? I'm not holding my breath. In the meantime, I grit my teeth, scream at the telly, shake my head in disbelief, every time I hear someone say "God was watching over me (us)." Yeah, right, you nincumpoop.
