I was watching television coverage of devastation from tornadoes in the Bible Belt today. I wondered what these hypr-religious Southerners think about their vengeful God and their status with Him when these things happened over and over to them. After all, this is the same God they believe will smite homosexuals and anyone else whom they deem unredeemable. Well, having been so smitten themselves, do they even try to put all that together? I guess, if they were that intellectually curious and mature, they wouldn't have believed in that God in the first place.
