6. Meaning nobody has to take responsibility for anything.

God's gonna do what he's gonna do, so why even bother to warn against or prevent natural disasters? It's all God's doing, and we love God, so just pray and it will be OK.

Kind of like when Texans froze to death while you vacationed in Cancun; right, Ted? That was God's doing, too, right?

Asshole.
