The gimp wonders how long it will take for the resident socialist atheists to start tearing strips off me and demanding various and assorted apologies for finally getting around to saying my piece on this subject.
I often read articles on bad weather phenomona and find myself wondering why certain people are so quick to attack and minister who dares say that any weather related disaster was a display of The Lord's displeasure with us. There are times when I think that they protest too much and so loudly because they are afraid deep down inside that it is indeed true. From where I sit, it's pretty clear to me. But then, I am an unabashed believer in the G-d of the Christians and Jews, Who is the Same for both groups.
During the war here in 2006 the weather was perfect for fighting a war. It wasn't too hot, as it usually is at that time of year, but, as soon as the war was over, we were treated to brutal heat for the rest of the summer and a very dry winter. And this summer is shaping up to being even worse. What did we, as a people, do to deserve this? That's an easy enough qustion for any believer to answer. For starters we lost our way and as a country seem to be hell bent on being just like all the others rather than remembering that we were 'chosen' to show that there is a better way, not that we can be as vile and corrupt as the worst dictatorship. Being that kind of 'chosen' is the exact opposite of priviledged, which so many seem to think it means. I wish more people both here and in The States would take a good hard look at the destructive weather, the floods, tornadoes, forest fires and other displays of what could very well be Divine Displays of Displeasure, and think about it, rather than dismiss it as the mad ravings of religious fanatic.
Ok, I'm ready for you to do your worst. Just remember that the gimp is only wondering here.
