Yes It Was God

As much as I think BO is wrong on Israel, I would hate to draw a line to Joplin. Who knows. The church is the apple of God's eye, and they have endured persecution for millennia. Only eternity will bring the true justice to evil.

I haven't been to Joplin in a while but I don't really get the impression that it's a town filled with a lot of supporters of Hamas and such. Why would "God" focus His "judgment" upon that particular town and not, say, Berkeley, California?

The whole "God will strike you with a thunderbolt" theology ends up making "God" out to be a really poor aim.

Wait till the 'big one' hits california, especially the san francisco area. God's judgement will be the topic for a long long time. Sorta like the God's judgement-katrina thing, only more of it.

I think you're missing the point of Exodus. God can punish people who had nothing to do with the act that needs punishment.
