Discussion of important issues of the day without name-calling or meaningless arguments. Unless I'm in a bad mood, in which case body armor is recommended. I welcome your comments! Of late, this blog has gone from being a Critique of Pure Obama, to a Critique of Impure Trump.

GOD HAS NO WRATH IN FEBRUARY

Inevitably, some Evangeloonie loony-tunes are informing devastated New Orleans hurricane victims that they are suffering this fate because they are being punished by God. Suddenly, after 100 years of Mardi Gras, God has suddenly decided to punish New Orleanians for tossing beads to female flashers.

A few reality checks: First, hundreds of thousands of devout Christians on the Gulf Coast have lost homes and livlihood. Are they being punished too?

Second, hurricanes only occur between June and November. Does God never get wrathful between December and May? If Hurricanes are caused by the wrath of God, how come God never sends any in the winter time? Is he hibernating? Does he never get angry in February? March? April?

Why do Evangeloonies have this need to give a spiritual definition to purely physical phenomena?
