Well said
Alan Sullivan posted something so "spot on" as they say in the U.K. that I am simply going to reprint it:
After the Boxing Day [day after Christmas] tsunami struck the Indonesian province of Aceh, we heard that local Muslim elders had pronounced the disaster a judgment of Allah on Muslims who failed to get their butts in the air five times daily. Now some Anglican bishops have arrived at similar wisdom regarding the current floods in England. The deity is displeased with gay marriage, they opine, and also with SUV’s. It’s good to know that stupidity is uniformly distributed among the nations and faiths of our little blue world.What is wrong with people? We've come quite far since the 50's and 60's harsh, rigid and narrow-minded attitudes but some still seem so ridiculous. If there even is a deity, surely he/she cares a bit of a hoot more about illness and poverty than SUV's and cohabitation nomenclature.
