    Who created...
    the earthquake and the lightning? If it's an act of nature, who created nature. It seems as though it all goes back to one source. I don't think it's necessarily good or bad - it is what it is. I don't think lightning striking an object or an earthquake occurring is bad. Had it not been for lightning, electricity would not have been discovered. Insurance is a totally different issue. I love a good lightning storm - it reminds me of how wonderful the earth is.

    convenience
    I think we as Humans tend to blame God out of convenience or just lack of understanding the reason why something happens. Rather then trying to investigate the matter most of the time it is cheaper to just say it was an act of God.

    Dasspears: you raise something very interesting to me, loving to be in a good lightning storm. I am an old Seaman I have sailed for many years, I have road out many hurricanes in the open water with the swells above 45ft. I have always been amazed by the force of the Sea, I can’t understand why I love it so much, there is just something about the oceans and the waves that are mystifying to me.

    So who did create lightning???
    Granted, we cannot prevent them but as acts of nature, and if you believe in God then you know that he created All. Lightning and hurricanes are not bad in the scheme of things. There are a part of nature, which God created. With the bad comes the good and vice versa and God creates all - or he doesn't. Pretty simple, actually.

    Ben Franklin?
    Just a wild guess!

    Here Goes ...Convenience
    One could also say that man created God "out of convenience or just lack of understanding the reason why something happens".

    Just my point of view, I certainly do not expect everyone to agree with me...

    Phil you're a hoot! Maybe
    Phil you're a hoot! Maybe Ben Franklin invented lightning so he could invent the lightning rod and sell a bunch! You all know I'm just kidding!

    Spirit in the Sky

    Recorded by Norman Greenbaun back in 1969, now that was the days, I was a long haired hippy back then. Thanks for the memory
