DEADLY WEATHER AND ACTS OF GOD
With all this talk of tropical storms in the news lately, it has gotten me to thinking about the weather, hurricanes and tornadoes especially.
It seems that whenever the weather in a given area results in death and destruction, it is generally referred to time and time again as an “act of God.” When I hear this I think, “If this is an act of God, then God must be one mean son of a bitch.” I mean, if my house is levelled by a category 5 tornado, am I supposed to feel blessed?
“Oh, what a wonderful day! My home is destroyed, half of my family is dead and my Superman underwear are in a tree around the corner....praise the Lord! Hallelujah!!”
Hurricanes Frances and Ivan have killed dozens of people in the past week. With that being said, I hope the folks over at the Weather Channel are on the horn to the Pope. I do believe we got ourselves a good, old-fashioned miracle on our hands.
