关于雷电, 当时的著名的JDT 有过如下解释
& ?3 M8 N6 y: D6 S7 i; aSt. Thomas Aquinas said "Rain and winds, and whatsoever occurs by local impulse alone, can be caused by demons. It is a dogma of faith that the demons can produce winds, storms, and rain of fire from heaven." 5 p% o* Z% P1 x& d9 Q" `
/ Y* Y7 t$ A3 T' J- fMartin Luther asserted that the winds themselves are good or evil spirits. He declared that a stone thrown into a certain pond in his native city would cause a dreadful storm because of the devils kept prisoners there.
