Umm, not to the scientific among us…. There may be some metaphysical correlary to everything-that-happens, but nothing concrete and objective enough to warrant holding a large portion of the population hostage to it.
I’m not saying religious sensibility in itself is a bad thing — it’s probably a good thing in that it gets us out of ourselves and encourages humility, at its best. But when you have a relatively small group of power hungry misogynists using the people’s visceral memory of cataclysm as a fulcrum for fear-based tyrrany, that’s a bad thing.
I think somebody else on here said it best: each individual is his own best conduit to his own spiritual sensibility. Totally apart is the fact that things fall out of the sky, completely on their own. If you want to believe that is God sending you a message, fine, but don’t create a cult out of it.
