In reply to the discussion: 'Allows things to happen': Ted Cruz blames God for Texas flood deaths [View all]Jerry2144
(2,941 posts)8. God sent the flooding to punish Texass for their anti-Christian policies
And attacks on women, minors, immigrants, and the LGTBQIA+ community. He strongly disapproves of the Texas Tepubliklan life style.
If it works for the Christofascists, then it works for everyone. Or, maybe, god didnt exist and has no more to do with natural phenomena than does Yoda, Mary Poppins, or Hamlet.

Wait, what? God is both "great and loving" and drowns kids, too? That's why I'm an atheist.
