It was an unthinkable idea to the American public that God could possibly be involved in such a calamity, because apparently they never read Isaiah 45: “I am the LORD, and there is no other, besides me there is no God; . . . I am the LORD, and there is no other. I form light and create darkness; I make well-being and I create calamity; I am the LORD, who does all these things” (Isa. 45:5–7).
