In reply to the discussion: 'Allows things to happen': Ted Cruz blames God for Texas flood deaths [View all]lapfog_1
(31,285 posts)38. so either the children that died
were the spawn of Satan and therefore God must strike them dead OR
they were the truly innocent and God loving children and God just wanted them with him before they became soiled by the world.
Pick one.
Can't be that it was climate charged atmosphere ( warm the atmosphere, more water is retained ) combined with a regularly occurring weather pattern / geologic interaction ( hill country funneling all the rain water into a river ), coupled with a total lack of technology and awareness by the bible study camps full of children. Camps that were placed right next to the river by truly idiotic people. Nope, can't be that.

God "allowed" it to happen in 1987 and that should have been their wake-up call to make sure it didn't happen again.

Well, Felito is right on this one. Nothing bad or evil happens without God's approval.

Wait, what? God is both "great and loving" and drowns kids, too? That's why I'm an atheist.
