Default Re: Did anyone hear Jeb Bush\'s comments about God?

Then please explain what you meant.

It's more like you acknowledging your parent is correct for disciplining you and then thanking him for providing all your needs.

This analogy suggests the following:

Child : South Florida resident
Parent : God
Something bad that the child did that deserved discipline : Something bad that the South Florida resident did that deserved discipline
Punishment : Wilma

So God punished a whole bunch of people with a big hurricane. Did they ALL deserve it?

If yes, then we are to believe that everyone who got hit with Wilma, and everyone ALONE who got hit with Wilma, did something particularly bad that deserved God's wrath.

If no, then this was either a random, horrible tragedy. In this case, an analogy should be drawn to an alcoholic parent who beats his children for no reason.
