"Jesus loves me. This I know..."

Since I am an atheist, it shouldn't surprise you that I find these recent weather reports fascinating. First of all it's the bible belt that gets slammed most. Yesterday, along with the many other tornados that tore through the South and Midwest, Texas was bombarded by softball-sized hail that broke windows, destroyed homes, mutilated cars, and scared the bejesus out of  all the townfolk. Not only do these very Christian areas of American suffer incredible storms, but they often include lightning. And that lightning more often than not destroys the local church. So the imaginary and loving god that they all revere so much in the South seems to have it in for his worshippers. He destroys their homes, kills their children, murders lots of pious citizens, and has even knocked out a school or two. And do they curse him? No. The homeless still standing thank him for sparing their lives, without giving a thought to the dead family next door.  Religion. So outdated. So illogical.
