BEWARE! What I'm about to say may shock some: perhaps God sent the lightening bolt down that struck and killed a boy scout leader and scout. Maybe it was because of the Boy Scouts of America discriminatory policies? Perhaps it was because of the amount of sexual abuse done by boy scout leaders? Who knows?
CALM DOWN! I do not for a moment believe that. But, if it had been a group of gays participating in an outing that got struck by the lightning, you can be sure religious leader across this country (not all, but quite a few) would be saying, or at least thinking, that God was dishing out some good old fashion justice! Well, why is that when some natural disasters happen, it's God causing it, and when others occur, it's God who stops it, indicating it wasn't God who caused the disaster in the first place? I guess it just depends on one's perspective.
Let's face it. Bad things just happen. There is no rhyme nor reason behind them. SHIT HAPPENS is how I believe we best put it. And if God is in control, then I guess no matter what happens, God is causing it. Or no, is he just allowing it to happen? Again, who knows? I sure don't, nor does Jerry Fallwell, Pat Robertson, or any other human being on the face of this earth.
So let's stop trying to think we are smarter than God by explaining events in terms of God doing or not doing it.

the following is one man's opinion. souls have debts to pay over the course of many lifetimes. God is not keeping tally. We are free will exercising our own destiny. Scout's honor.
Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...
Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...
