I did actually catch her up once when she posted a meme that the fires in CA were punishment from God for harboring atheists. She lied and said she had posted it to show how foolish it was. Oh yeah. Nicely put about what is happening with these religious folks. She is also the person who told me that she is glad she is not as educated…
I did actually catch her up once when she posted a meme that the fires in CA were punishment from God for harboring atheists. She lied and said she had posted it to show how foolish it was. Oh yeah. Nicely put about what is happening with these religious folks. She is also the person who told me that she is glad she is not as educated as I am. I wanted to say I was glad not to be religious and a R like her, but refrained. Not Catholic, btw, but some kind of Methodist I think.
You can call it God or you can call it Karma. I would call it nature's wrath for building homes in the forest and expecting firefighters to be your savior. No politician can defeat nature, and asking them to try is an example of why we need to limit the scope of government. They will always try to do what the loudest voices ask, even if they know they cannot control nature. It's shameful the number of California firefighters who have been injured or perished to save the wealthy from their own foolish choices.
The biblical texts were written by wise men to teach their heirs how to live better lives. In this case, you might refer to Matthew 7, which contains many interpretations of the laws of nature (or God if you prefer).
"24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.
26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,
29 because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law."
Why are you even bothering with this. The fires were not caused by God to punish atheists living in CA, but our own hubris, no matter what our religious beliefs.

You can call it God's wrath, Karma, or Nature's law. They all mean the same thing.
