You died, I lived, god is good!

Is anyone else bothered when people who are spared severe damage or death/injury in a catastrophe will make public statements god spared them and their family? If I was one of their neighbors who’s home was destroyed by a tornado or whose relative died in a flood, I might feel obligated to go over and smack them. Especially when more often than not in small town America, they probably all go to the same church or at least are all of the same faith. I consider it the highth of hypocrisy to basically say that your god chose you over your neighbor or friend and if he spared you, you must have to believe that he purposely attacked and harmed those who were not spared. Is there any other explanation?

It is beyond irritating, and one of the reasons I questioned the existence of god from a young age.

I agree with you. Its a bad scene. Like handicapped children, why??? A tornado kills a bunch of people.....random. Really, it is all in the mind. It sounds like "imaginary friends".....maybe some people just need to believe in something else. Myself, I do believe there is a "higher intelligence" that is watching me, or at least that I'm part of or just "inside". it all comes down to why are we here? What is the purpose of life? This question has been out there since the beginning.

It is annoying. They either can't or won't do any critical thinking to see their obvious hypocrisy

Thinking for oneself is scary..
