Just saw the Mayor of NYC commenting on the bad weather that went thru there yesterday. During his comments he said the damage and at least 1 death was an "Act of God."
Did God do this as he and many people believe? Comments?

One of the agents that never sleeps is the law of karma, and on that particular day in New York when they had the storm, it was that mans karma to meet his demise. God has nothing to do with it, accept that the law of karma can only exists and operate as it does, because of the will of God,.....as does the law of gravity, and if someone steps of a cliff then the law of gravity will be his demise also......god is not involved personally.

Anyhew, you can keep your impersonal god. I don't care for him either. Screw him!! ðŸ˜
Of course, I'm not afraid to say such things to him because apparently I am too "mundane" to even raise an eyebrow from him or her or it.

The problem is that no one knows God in truth and therefore cannot love her properly and so the connection is not made.

So..........does God cause bad things such as natural disasters to happen that harm or even kill humans?
crops, babies born healthy, having all things held together by the forces in place
in the universe like gravity, and so on? It’s all the same thing, to call a storm bad
act is passing judgment on something purely due to your likes and dislikes.

I think your god and one I deal with are two different beings, so I agree with you
that no one knows your god in truth so whatever she is up too is quite beyond
not only my knowledge, but also isn't even something I care to know about. Unlike
you I'm not going to spend a lot of time going after your beliefs to declare they
are the words of men only. You have your beliefs they can and will take you to
where ever they will and can.
