Think about it.

Making sure TFG turns his head a bit while neglecting to make the shooter fall off the roof or get caught before he fired any shots.

Nudging TFG's head while neglecting to save the innocent firefighter who got killed protecting his family.

All this while allowing the mass shootings that have become so commonplace that they barely make the daily news.

People celebrate The Miracle of the Flinch on behalf of a man who lies, cheats, steals, and has brought out the worst in us. There has been a significant uptick in political violence* since 2016, and most of it has been by the Right. TFG resembles the description of the Antichrist ("to deceive, if possible, even the Elect") more than anything else.

On a broader scale, see my previous post about war, disease, child abuse, and the age-old problem of why good things happen to bad people and vice versa.

Like I said, I believe in a Higher Power but not one who micromanages. A micromanaging god does not fit with the evidence I see every day.
