This has got to be a joke from someone I know, but if it’s not…

First of all I don't think you can say that God's little snowstorm in May is so that there's greener hillsides and pretty flowers. My impression was that God's will was a mystery. On the day it snowed there was an 8-car pile up on I-25 because of the snow, people died. For all you know God made it snow to kill off a few people.

Secondly if I did believe in God I don't think I would look at him as some benevolent lawn care specialist. I have many friends of many religions and the ones I respect the most are those that realize that Gods a bit of an asshole. You don't have to believe that god's this cruel, malicious being (unless you’re all about the old testament), but it's naive to think of him as some sort of sparkly, sunshine god filled with rainbows and lollipops.

If there is a God he is indifferent, he's got a fucking business to run and if the death of a few people is what's required to get that business done then that's what's going to happen. You are not special to God, he doesn’t care if you appreciate his hillsides or not.
