Bolding the words does not change that it was not the reason *why* HKB”H sent the hurricane, rather *how* he sent it.
You’re obviously missing this. Let’s try this one more time.
The little I know said the following:
Anyone who tells me the precise cause for Sandy is either a kofer, a ball gaava, or a plain idiot.
Please note that he did not say “anyone who gives the reason HaShem brought Hurricane Sandy.” He said “the precise cause for Sandy.” IME, the precise cause for Sandy was HKBH’s choosing to send Sandy.
Are there reasons He decided to send Sandy? Certainly — and I wouldn’t dare to speculate as to what they are. But that’s a *separate question* then the question of the cause for Sandy.
TLIK said that anyone who gives a cause (not the reason why the hurricane came, but the cause) is a kofer, a ba’al ga’avah or a plain idiot. I gave a cause — HKBH’s will was the cause for the storm.
And I apologize about the kofer, to be accurate you said ” Am I a kofer, a ba’al ga’avah or a plain idiot”.
Apology accepted.
To The Little I Know: I still await your response to my query. Your silence on the matter says to me that you don’t really believe what you said.
