anon1m0us -“The problem with this Shtus argument equating Hurricane Sandy= Gay Marriage is your disgracing the torah.”
The only thing disgracing the Torah is your post!
“Minnesota was the first state to allow Gay Marriage in the 70’s, and I didn’t see anything happen to it? Massachusetts who was the most recent state to legalize gay marriage did not get the full brunt of the storm.
Denmark, Norway, Netherlands, etc all allow same sex marriages (since the 1980’s!), and again, don’t see anything happening to them!
So you all can quote chazal, medroshim and all of the sources, but all you are doing is providing a forum where people can start questioning hashem and how fickle chazal is since no other state or country was badly damaged.”
Your post has zero logic. Since when does Hashem punish the second s/o does an Aveira? Maybe a State as big as NY has more of an effect on humans – than all these other little States and countries that have this law? So maybe NY’s law is a bigger Potch in Ponim – necessating punishment?
“Leave the reasons to god and just give Tzedaka to people who were affected!”
This negates the whole Torah and makes it into a storybook. The Torah is full of Stories of Hashem destroying the wicked. Why? Why does he tell us the reasons?
Let Hashem say don’t worry about anything -just give charity.
“Oh, by the way, the first Jews were at Matttan Torah, so the argument that Medos Hadin can impact Jews when there is din by goyim is not accurate.”
What you don’t understand is this “Mavchin Bein Tzaddik L’rosha” is the rule. It doesn’t make a difference which nation(s) the Tzaddik belongs to or the Rosha. Don’t read into the Chazal something that it doesn’t say!
