That’s scary to hear of such a person who can’t distinguish between acts of nature and specific intent. If all things happen for a reason, our world looks exactly the same whether God is active or asleep at the wheel.
It’s kind of like saying that no direction or leadership whatsoever, no plan, is just as valid as a person acting with intention. It’s ridiculous. It’s disturbingly regressive. It’s burying our heads in the sand.
If all things happen for a reason
…then that reason is usually “someone was being an asshole.” In the case of a hurricane flooding mountains hundreds of miles inland, said assholes have been assholing around for 150 some odd years, actively destroying our home for profit while obfuscating and denying the evidence.
Fuck those assholes. And fuck the invisible sky wizard that supposedly made it all happen.
