Seems to me that those people who get hit by lightning and other "acts of God" might be inclined to complain (as per Steve?) to the effect that "God's reasong" (in whatever sense) seems too direct, plain, simple, exoteric, blunt, etc, lacking in "more specific" and "understandable enough" explanations. Then, on the other hand, if Theosophy is seen to offer plenty of compensatory explanations for that kind of apparent simplicity and bluntness on the "worldly level" (at least?), there might then be a somewhat general tendency, I tend to suspect, to complain about "too esoteric" explanations by way of such as the Esoteric Tradition. Of course if one doesn't complain too much about shortages of food for thought, though, I wonder if one might then be inclined to turn into something like a "student of Theosophy," at some point, generally speaking ...

Speculatively,
Mauri
