Natural Disaster, I blame you......
A huge topic that has been everywhere has been hurricanes, God’s wrath or Global warming. According to an article from the Washington Post, one third of people believe that the recent natural disasters in the United States are not so natural but actually are a deliberate act on God’s part.
I think people need to educate themselves on the history of the world before they come to these absurd conclusions. This earth has gone through so many changes; Ice ages, warm-ups, continental drifts, magnetic shifts, species dieing off, etc. I can not say that global warming is the cause for the abundance of strong hurricanes. But I think it is a more realistic theory than God’s Wrath.
People need to stop blaming God and prepare themselves for these occurrences. If they live in a flood plain, expect to be flooded. If you live in an earthquake, tornado, or hurricane prone area you will at one point in your life have to experience one. There is no really safe place in this world, just people who think there is.
Another thing that bothers me is the people who like to point at others and blame them for natural disasters. Sure things could have been done to avoid some deaths, or some buildings being destroyed. But there is no reason whatsoever to point fingers at politicians because a natural disaster hit your city. This is a time to help others, and generate some good will towards the victims of said disaster.
Generosity begets more generosity. Complaining about who did what, or who didn’t spend their money on the right thing does nothing but generate bad feelings towards everything. In this time of need, we as a whole should be thinking about how to help people affected by a disaster then figuring out how we can punish the officials that are in no way responsible for a natural disaster randomly attacking your town.
Besides, there is time later for beheadings :D
