Andy, on Christians a la Billy Graham:

I realize this is a common brain fart among the devout, those same people who thank God when something positive happens but neglect to blame the Almighty when a truck hits their dog (even if the truck did have a “Jesus is my Co-Pilot” bumper sticker).

More of the whole “God does no harm,” tripe that I come across. Two days ago on television a family whose house was “miraculously” spared from the California wildfires, with fire on three sides of their property, attributed their house’s survival to the power of prayer. It makes me wonder, since, if God is blameless for any misfortune, not even in his passivity to allow such misfortune to happen, are believers in the concept of a Blameless God actually also believing in an Anti-God to which all evil is attributed to? [I think he's called Satan --- ed. I know, I know. Shuddup. --- Jay] Is this Great Satan merely a cesspool of all hate and fury and blame that would otherwise be heaped on Blameless God?

Maybe because they don’t want Baby Jeebus to cry.
