Mr. Moore,

I read your “Open Letter to G-d” which can be found at:  http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/message/index.php?id=229.  I thought very seriously about writing my own “open letter to G-d” but did not want to add blasphemy on top of blasphemy so I decided to write to you instead. 

Are you so single-minded, so arrogant, so shallow, to actually believe that G-d sent the hurricane in response to the GOP convention?   G-d displaced thousands and thousands of people, made them leave their homes, possibly losing all but their lives….and ALL in response to the GOP convention??  Now maybe you are just trying to be funny…..so for that you get an “A” in effort.  But unfortunately you get an “NF” on the “letter.”  For NOT Funny.

Actually Mike…may I call you Mike?   Actually, to be serious,  I think you may be on to something.  But I will try to be a little less shallow, a little less single minded, and a little less arrogant in trying to figure it out.

We all know that G-d controls even the smallest of details.  We all know that G-d Himself is the Creator of Life.  And I think we can agree that G-d both authored and inspired a book most call “The Bible.”

Look at the actions of our country.  How many children are murdered each year in the name of “convenience?”  Under the guise of “choice?”   While I can find NO mention of the GOP in this Book we call “The Bible”, I can however, find places where G-d says that all men were created in the “Image of G-d.”  Which would mean that we all have a “divine spark” of the Infinite.  Knowing that G-d creates all life, and knowing now that ALL have a “Spark of the Divine” in them, I wonder how G-d sees us treating life so callously and murdering His creation everyday??  And not only murdering everyday, but having it sanctioned and legalized by our government.  Even sometimes murdering those children after they have been born….at least partially.  HM-M-M-M….now being a former….what did you call it??…….”faithful servant and former seminarian”…..how do you think G-d views that?  Of course….G-d was just having “a little fun.”  It couldn’t have been the murders of thousands of children that could bring judgement down on our little land. 

And there is another thing…..the bigger thing I think.  One that, if we could get this right….we could get other things right as well.  I don’t know if you know,  being the shallow, single-minded, arrogant person that you are, but during this time that these hurricanes were building up, Ms. Condolezza Rice was in Israel working to divide Jerusalem and working to bring about a creation of a so-called Palestinian State.  Now, being the Bible Scholar that you are, you will know that this one thing will bring down judgement on our land so fast that we will have no doubt as to where it comes from.  Even you must know, being a….what was that again????  Oh yeah…..”faithful servant and former seminarian”…..maybe especially you…must know that the Bible says:  “Behold, He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep” in Psalm 121:4.   And again in Ezekial 39:27-29:  “When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations; Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there. Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD”.   And yet again….one that we should sit up and pay attention to:  Zechariah 12:9 says “And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.”

Now surely I am preaching to the choir here, but these three examples are just three among hundreds of references about how G-d chose Israel and protects them….even now. 

I don’t know….but this kind of makes the GOP thing seem kind of small and insignificant.  Right Mike?  And it kind of makes you realize that MAYBE we should vote for leaders who hold these values…..the ones spoken of in the Bible, so that in doing so…..we may save this country that we live in. 

I am sure that G-d was impressed that so many of his “followers tipped their hats to Him.”  Too bad you weren’t there to congratulate Him in the beginning when He created this whole world we live in.  I don’t know how He got through it without so much as a “good job.”  

The arrogance is unbelievable.  But maybe you should pay attention to the larger picture….for once in your life.  Pay attention to what G-d is telling us on the one hand, and what we are doing on the other.
