Let’s pretend for a moment that the Christian god is real. Consider this:
> Yahweh drowned every air-breathing life on Earth except those floating in an impossible wooden box.
> He fire-bombed Sodom and Gomorrah.
> He murdered countless children during the so-called Passover.
> He sent a bear to maul a group of children for picking on a bald guy.
> He favors chattel slavery and instructed the Jews in how to buy and sell them.
> He unleashed Joshua’s armies against the Canaanites, murdering the men and enslaving the women and children.

A lot of Christians are babbling on social media that the California fires and the extreme winter weather are a part of God’s punishment for various offenses against God. People, fire happens.

You know it’s coming. Disputed votes, contested elections, allegations of fraud, illegal aliens voting, felons voting, dead people voting, etc etc. It’s unavoidable. It’s just how America does things nowadays. Personally I believe it’s more important to consider what we’ll get depending upon who wins the election.
How many people each day are in one way or another abused, maimed, raped, robbed, imprisoned or killed outright in the name of religion? Even one is too many. What good is the Golden Rule if no one obeys it?
Since the 1950s, many people in the United States have sought to build a more united and civil society. That these noble efforts have largely failed is obvious. What’s less obvious is the Why and How of this failure of many Americans to behave like responsible adults. We can talk about politics, money, power, love, hate, sex and religion until we’re blue in the face. But none of that gets to the root cause.
