Does God have a position on the oil spill?

If the Haiti earthquake (like Robertson and Limbaugh said) were punishment for practicing voodoo, then is this ours for failing to protect the environment?

The spilage is not an act of God just human error lets not go over board with this.God is a good God if it is good it is God if it is not good its not God

It is difficult to find some major disaster or even a trivial accomplishment that is not attributed to God. If an NFL kicker makes a field goal, he thanks God. Apparently, that means God has His favorite teams. Raiders? No, too thuggish. Redskins? No again; insulting to a whole race of people. Saints? Obviously!

The crackpot preachers like to look at natural disasters and explain them in terms of the thinking of God. Maybe God is annoyed at homosexuals. Perhaps he just doesn't like those who aren't Christian or Jewish.

Hurricanes can clean out a lot of those who don't think and worship the way those favored by God do. Floods are good, too. They are just so - biblical. Fire and brimstone bring volcanism into favor. If you are gay or non-Christian, stay away from Hawaii, Indonesia, and Iceland. There are a lot of volcanoes there.

Now we have an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that the governor of Texas suspects may be an act of God. There seem to be three scenarios here: God did it; people who hate drilling did it; or some human or humans simply made a mistake.

Why would God do it? Is He trying to kill his own creatures? Is He in opposition to the profits of Big Oil? Does he just hate that geographic area (see "Katrina, Hurricane")?

Why would environmentalists do it? The theory is that they sabotaged the oil rig so that drilling in the Gulf might be stopped. In other words, these people seriously damaged the environment in order to save it. Didn't we destroy villages in Vietnam in order to save them? Paging William Westmoreland!

Then there is the belief that an oil worker or oil company team made a mistake. What a novel idea!

Perhaps we should stop blaming God for all our mistakes and the disasters that nature causes. Maybe the earth acts just the way it wants, and we don't count for much. It hurts to think that we aren't the center of everything, but much of that viewpoint dissolved after Nicolaus Copernicus, Johannes Kepler, and Galileo Galilei started actually thinking, not just blindly believing.
