Blame and Punishment
Certain evangelical leaders famously blamed the destruction caused by hurricane Katrina on the United States earning God’s wrath for tolerating queers and other sinners. Now even if I weren’t gay, I’d find this outrageous, but it still seemed like something worth asking the deity himself about. So when God stopped by for our chat, I brought it up.
After having a good laugh, God asked me if I believed that. Obviously I don’t, and I said so. He told me that was good and said the most important reason why these claims were wrong, was the same as with wars, he doesn’t take the side of any country and doesn’t punish whole populations because of the actions of a relative few.
He told me that’s also the reason why, despite ministers making such stupid claims, he doesn’t wipe out religions.
How can you say that god doesn’t pick sides? Didn’t you see that Bears vs Cardinals game the other weekend? Those Bears could not have won that game having no points at half time without god, come on!
