Mostly Human

So this morning I overheard a conversation between two people. One of which states that it is clear that God's wrath is being showered on the USA for its arrogance. this person went on to list several recent tragedies and natural disasters to bolster their case.

I don't buy it! If God was going to hit the arrogant, seriously France has to be first. Okay well maybe not, but I still don't buy it. To me saying things like that are supremely arrogant by themselves. Are all the people affected by these things arrogant? No, so then God is punishing everyone for the sins of a few. And not even a strong minority, just those that are on TV a lot. I have met many Americans and I find them like people everywhere, to be like people everywhere. That is, they are nice, rude, funny, sad, sick, great, etc.

Could I be wrong, oh aboslutely, but I would much rather be wrong in giving someone the benfit of the doubt, than wrong in judging others. Not that i am above that kind of thing, just that I try to be, but like people everywhere, I am human, at least mostly...
