writing that entire paragraph was guided by a deep seeded Catholic upbringing, taking me back to the very young child going through a rigorous religious education.
I couldn't help but think of a 1950's style priest lecturing that if we got too far off track in sin, that God would smote us, and bring down fire and brimstone.
And today wildfires destroy Los Angeles, home and purveyor of all the filth.
Coincidence?
Now I also wrote the disclaimer that I don't really believe in some God of retribution. I don't think God operates that way, in biblical manner. Destroying the sinful, and enriching the pure. That is fantasy.
All in all, a good piece except that you went a bit too easy on Newsom.
“If God was going to send retribution to that smut-filled land, I would think burning it all to the ground would certainly be a first choice for him.”
