Jesus is coming, everybody look busy!

So KK was reading Doyle Brunson's poker book and in it was the story of Doyle's battle with cancer and how he and his family used prayer to cure him. Apparently this also worked for his wife. This was posited as possible proof not only of God's existence but of his active participation in the lives' of people.

Of course, I have to ask:

a) Why not just avoid giving them cancer in the first place?

b) What's the deal with that Tsunami then?

You can't have it both ways. If He gets credit for removing the Brunson family tumors, then He has some 'splainin' to do for the whole Aceh thing. Whenever something good happens, everyone knows all about Him; He's kind and good and just. When 170,000 die, all of a sudden, He's moving in mysterious ways, we cannot fathom Him, it's part of a "plan". Perhaps He's bi-polar?

Perhaps it's the easiest thing in the world to believe: God Did It! No thinking involved.
