Thanks for Nothing, Lord

Why is the Lord only responsible for the people he doesn’t kill? The only person who ever blames the Lord for destruction these days is Pat Robertson, who seems to think the Lord likes killing babies to punish the gays. Back in Puritan times a tornado or other natural disaster would be considered to be a judgment of the Lord on the entire community, which, while ridiculous, is at least intellectually coherent and encourages some self-examination rather than scapegoating. Nowadays, when a tornado hits, a flood floods, a storm strikes, or a plane crashes, the Lord gets credit for the survivors but gets a pass for the harm to the innocent dead.
