“ I believe in acts of God.”
-- Rick Santorum, Republican candidate for
President, reacting to assertions it would take an act of God for him to win
the GOP nomination.
Really,
Rick? Considering the disastrous impact on life and property that acts of God
have had in the last year or so, we probably would be a lot safer if God didn’t
add a Santorum victory to a list that includes:
·
The most devastating tornados in known U.S.
history – more than 300 of them that left 321 people dead and many more injured
and property damage in the billions of dollars, including whole communities
wiped of the face of the map.
·
Storms in the Philippines and Thailand that left
more than 2,000 dead and tens of billions of dollars in damage.
·
Droughts and famine in Africa that the U.N.
calculated left some 30,000 children dead.
·
The earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan,
leaving 15,000 dead, many more injured and homeless and a deadly nuclear mess
that will take decades to clean up.
Please,
God. Enough already.
