One would think all this extreme weather would lead to more rightwingers
changing their minds on climate-change — and maybe that will happen — but in West, by god Virginia, i see a lot of this kinda thinking from the evangelicals:

Yet, the hurricane didn’t just hit LGBT people and their allies…it hit the God-fearin’ Trump supporters that inhabit east Texas as well.

Of course, it doesn’t occur to the evangelicals that maybe God is punishing Texas for voting for Trump.

Well i can see you know very little about God. I remember when God attacked Sodom and Gomorrah — there were some good Trump voters there too. But when God gets into a god-rage, it dont matter.

I also remember when Godzilla attacked Gomorrah. For no reason at all.
Pre-emptively. Gomorrah should have built a wall.

I was just on a YouTube site for some weather forcaster and he talked about the Hurricane possibly turning north and hitting Georgia and South Carolina more directly than Florida. In the comments section a woman was quick to point out that God had turned this thing away and her faith was “firm”.

So apparently God saved her to kill others? Because she’s…”firm in her belief”?

Then it got into a thing where people were pointing out that if God saved a baby he has SAVED the child–it’s God’s work….but if he takes the child it’s okay because that baby is in God’s arms in heaven and that’s a good thing too.

Logic will never ever work on these true believers. They have their own logic–their own truth. They will always send money to the Joel Osteens of the world. They are trapped in their own logic bubble and in fact need to be there just to get through life. They could not handle what is outside that bubble. This is why some otherwise very intelligent people abandon any logic when it comes to their religion. Being in the bubble is more important.

These people will not believe growing evidence of climate change.

They will look at it more of proof of God’s wrath against one group or another.

We are a society marching backward.
