What lead up to the disaster?Frankly, I have not a single problem with that, pragmatically. Such a thing should not necessarily get in the way of anything. Not science, not morals, not ethics, not anything.God did that! Awesome!"
That's the motto by which I live.
What happens when people take the next logical step and begin to wonder why God did this or that?. For instance, there was a natural disaster. It was the will of God. Great, but why? Thats when some religious bullshit artist who has already been lying in the name of God for his entire life anyway steps up and says its because of the gays, the Mexicans, the hippies, the Jews, rock and roll, demon weed, hollywood, the liberal media, telletubbies, whatever..,... anyone but themselves.
Anyone could be the one chosen by crazy people to be persecuted or slaughtered to appease an angry God.
Thats a problem.
It's the natural inclination of the ego to sit down and cry, "Wah! I didn't do anything to deserve this!".
It's interesting that someone who claims to believe that nothing in the physical exists doesn't take into consideration the fact that nothing happens in the physical world that wasn't caused by the spiritual world being influenced by the physical world.
