I considered this question reading "Gay marriage would bring wrath of God upon us", Rev. Helen Millen, Letters to the Editor, Duluth News Tribune, 2012-08-22.
Rev. Millen implies the wrath of God would descend on us if the Marriage Amendment is turned down in Minnesota. If God is so ready with his wrath and blessings, how will we interpret what happens on the Republican Convention in Tampa FL next week?
If Tropical Storm Isaac hits Tampa during the Republican convention, does that mean the wrath of God has descended on the Republican Party? If Isaac misses Tampa, does that mean that God has blessed the Republican Party?
Neither! It does mean that the Republicans were taking a chance on scheduling a convention during hurricane season. If they are going to take a chance with a rather predictable event, what else are they taking chances on things that whose outcomes are predictable, like climate change and cuts in government spending?
I will neither cheer nor boo the weather during the Republican convention. If a storm does hit and there are many cancellations, I will feel sorry for all the hospitality workers that were hoping for lots of work and tips.
