Wouldn't such logic prove that 9/11 was "God" talking to us and rewarding the Muslims fanatics? Seems like a dangerous path for a Christian to tread.

The way the kookists get around that is by claiming disasters affecting mostly Christian nations are the withdrawal of "protection" by God from Christians straying from the path, so therefore Florida being hit by a hurricane is because Disney World has a "Gay Day" or Northridge getting hit by an earthquake is because of legalized abortion.

I'm not making either of the above up, either. The fact that Disney World was essentially undamaged from all the hurricanes this year in FL, and most of the destruction was to elderly retirees and military bases and whatnot, doesn't seem to faze them.

Certain sects of Christianity do have problems with cause and effect.

It is like the scene where the cannibals have the hero tied to a stake and ready to cook and a eclipse happens and they let him go.

I blame the Quakers.
