Burning Man participants repent! After 33 years of debauchery in the Black Rock Desert, the Almighty finally took notice and dropped unprecedented rainfall on this year’s event.

According to Sen. Mike Lee’s “divine disapproval by rainfall” metric, it appears that residents of Florida are in particular need of repentance. Since 1990, the so-called “Sunshine State” has experienced over 60 hurricanes and tropical storms that caused fatalities.

If natural disasters reflect God’s disapproval, clearly He finds a “sinful” arts festival in the desert far less objectionable than the daily actions of Floridians.
