It’s really curious that God chooses to communicate via means that are wholly explainable via scientific and secular thought processes, without even throwing us a bone by having God’s wrath fall somewhere like, I dunno, a place where people aren’t one of the most religious developed nations on Earth.

I would bet ten internet dollars that any whack-a-loon religious nutjob’s answer to this apparent conundrum would involve the words ‘American Exceptionalism’ and ‘faith’.

Because God only gives a shit about a small minority of those that He created in His image (particularly, the ones on the other side of the damned world from where He sent His son), and God really prefers that we not use these big lumps of thinking meat that He so wisely bestowed upon us.

(and also the whole bloody-murder-of-innocent-children thing, rather than sacrificing a humble bush, but never you mind that)
