And the world came crashing down!

It seems to be taking longer for our more fundamentalist friends to start blaming various groups for the earthquakes.  I wonder where we can start:
The Episcopals whose National Cathedral was severely damaged, possibly because this very progressive church has adopted a policy of acceptance and non-discrimination.  And this includes Gay and Lesbian members who have a place at the big table, or the pew if you will.
Perhaps it is the Muslims in New York who want to build a new mosque a couple of blocks from the WTC site.
Or, it could be the various and sundry members of Congress in DC who are "ruining" this country by being Godless, those who are determined to further tax the country, or those who are determined not to.
The list could go on and on to include everybody's favorite hate group.  But it all comes back to blaming God for whatever reason.
But, it's not the reason, you see.  In the beginning, God established various laws of science.  This includes all weather patterns, the cooling of the earth, the cycle of earth warming, etc.  All this includes rain, storms, droughts, tornadoes, hurricanes, and EARTHQUAKES!
So, instead of blaming God for these disasters, let us give thanks that it wasn't worse than it is, and start in right away to help our neighbors.  What greater joy do we have than to join as a family and care for each other, knowing that God is watching over us and will give us the strength to carry on.
In Peace,
