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

Just getting back to normal after Hurricane Wilma. It really hit us hard down here. The weather after the storm was beautiful - cool and dry. I heard Jeb Bush on the radio saying something to the effect that "let's thank god for giving us such wonderful weather that makes cleaning up after the hurricane easier and lessens the suffering for those without air conditioning".

I ask anyone who believes in god to explain this to me. If god can control the weather after a hurricane, why can't he control it during the hurricane (as in preventing it, etc)? How can any rational person explain this line of thinking?
It is like me hitting you in the face with a crowbar and then you thanking me for handing you a tissue to wipe up the blood.

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

Disciplining South Florida for what? Providing for us how? I guess since I am an Atheist, I can understand why I had $30,000 in damage but what about all the believers down here?

Let's ease up on the analogy wars, guys, they're the sign of small minds.

Seriously, though, Satan controls hurricanes, so Jeb was right on target.

Auto, if you seriously believe what you wrote, then does that mean Satan is more powerful than god or was he just not paying attention until after the fact? Why didn't Satan control the weather after the storm? I just don't understand how you can seriously believe this???
