I am SURE the evangelists are blaming the people of KY for their Godless ways

If only they would love their neighbor and not insist on being treasony, maybe the Lord would have spared them...



Of *course* my heart goes out to the suffering and our neighbors in KY who were hurt by the tornado, but I am more than willing to blame the Godless heathen Moscow Mitch McConnell and his flurbee headed compatriot all the same

What's good for our goose is good for their gander

... because god is not punishing them, just working in mysterious ways for their ultimate salvation.

It's always the (evil, nasty, liberal) no good "Other" who is punished. Never the faithful because they are "saved", automatically, no matter what they do or opinions they hold, because they are "saved" by stating they are "born again". They say they are good because they are saved because they say they are good.

That whole "If you sin, there will be terrible things happening" is a legal religious version of extortion.

"Nice place you got here, shame if something were to happen to it..."

I saw that nothing was really spared, even a church was demolished.
