Rick Warren Copies Beck Blind Trick

God has struck blind another conservative. Only this time it’s apparently real. I hypothesized that Beck’s claim he may or may not go blind was all made up to garner more people at his August rally. Now, Rick Warren gets in on the act. From CNN:
“My eyes were severely burned by a toxic poison,” Warren wrote on his Twitter page Thursday morning. “Hospitalized Mon. Excruciating pain. Now home. Pray my sight loss is restored.”
The sap of the firestick plant is toxic and can cause skin irritation and temporary blindness if it comes in contact with the skin or eyes, according to the website gardenguides.com. The firestick is a succulent with spiky orange branches.
At least it only causes temporary blindness, unlike Beck’s which could be for the rest of his life. Or not.
I have to ask, is God attacking all the conservatives in a fit of blind rage? What would Jesus do? According to John 9:3, Jesus said of a blind man, he did not go blind because of his sins (or his parents sins) but rather “so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.” For Rick Warren, yep. Beck? Uh….judgment day has yet to come.
