So let’s recap:
1. If a hurricane hits Place A, God is sending a message to them — a message that just happens to confirm all the preexisting bigotries of the people decoding the message.
2. If the hurricane doesn’t hit Place A, it’s because they prayed it away to hit another place.
3. If the hurricane hits Place B, the fact that large numbers of local residents were also praying for the hurricane not to hit them is meaningless to the inhabitants of Place A.
4. No matter what happens, residents of both Place A and Place B will continue to believe the same thing about eventualities 1 and 2.
Faith — keeping people impervious to logic for thousands of years.
