> I predict a great tragedy will occur in this tunnel with great loss of life. Do not mock GOD
Wouldn’t it be more efficient for God to kill the persons directly responsible for the mocking — say, with a lightning bolt during the ceremony itself — rather than rely on a tunnel collapse or massive car pileup later? Later losses of life would mostly kill persons who had no connection with the ceremony.
Actually, if a supernatural hand would just reach down from the heavens and slap people around a little during the ceremony itself, killing them or — even worse, killing innocent persons — wouldn’t be necessary.
Face it. As it says in the New Testament, “...he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” On earth there’s no supernatural power apportioning blessings to the good — who, in fact, sometimes suffer horrifically — or cursing persons who are evil, some of whom prosper. (Or, if it does happen, it’s only sporadically, with little semblance of justice.)

Should be: ...killing them — or, even worse, killing innocent persons — wouldn’t be necessary.
