Reporter: "You've just lost your house and everything you own. How do

Victim: "I just thank the LORD everyone made it out okay, especially
my little foofoo."
Meanwhile, in the background you see the firefighter who actually
saved little foofoo being treated for his injuries, with the LORD
nowhere to be seen.

God, however you wish to define it. All on this list seem to be
strongly polarized, according to the simple criterion of yea or nay.
Granted, that is an uncritical place to start, but the polarization
