Daniel scoffs: "...That sounds about as plausible as the theory that Bush blew up the levees..."
What you need, is to read the Book of Daniel!
Sorry, I just don't believe that natural disasters have any type of moral purpose or order behind them. Call me a heretic if you'd like, that's just my view.
HERETIC!
Thank you. Now say it three more times.
I actually tend to agree with you Daniel, but I'm not absolutely positive.
I'm still grappling with the extent of G-d's hand in the world today.

Oh, G-d, can they hate! And they have a deep, deep, deep resentment because you have jolted them from their delusions of grandeur and shown them for what they are-a decadent, savage people controlled by a religion that has stripped them of all human ambition . . . except for the few cruel enough and arrogant enough to command them as one commands a mob of sheep. You are dealing with a mad society and you'd better learn how to control it."
