        It all about the optics. You say 200 people died people won’t care as much, you say 200 girls died and and THEY WERE GOOD CHRISTIANS, you appeal to a lot of Americans.

        God has no tolerance for traitors. You see, God discovered that they supported the Devil in secret, so he sent a flood to kill them. It’s a message to help the surviving Texans remember their true allegiance.
