I didn't mean to disparage anyone in particular. I thought this was a 
well known fact. I still remember my first of college, and the 
anthropology professor hinted he didn't believe in God, and when some 
students tried to press him on it, he didn't want to say anything that 
would get him in trouble, so he finally said something like "All 
societies have a God or Gods to which they attribute unseen forces, and 
random acts." When lightening strikes, or a storm or eclipse occurs, 
these things were not understood. So that statement about the locusts 
brought by the crusaders as being the cause of all the problems in the 
middle east was just a bit hard to swallow....at least for me, but I 
could be high as a kite as far as anyone knows. However, this was not any 
personal attack/disparagement/etc on anyone. I better get off the 
computer now - the wind is blowing - a sure sign that God must be angry.
