3. It is true

Mrs. Betty would never lie to us

[edhopper]

4. Great analogy

like thanking God for Cancer remission. So why is he killing so many with cancer if he can so easliy take it away.

(Not to mention how insulting that is to all the researchers and doctors.)

Because a serial killer knows which of his next victims are. A Tornado strikes at will, with no designated victims

[DavidDvorkin]

9. Not so, in the minds of those who thank God for sparing them

God, who is behind every tornado and every other event, knows everything and has complete control. Therefore he has chosen the victims and the survivors.

Who says God is a "he". No one knows that.
I think God is a mother.
The house that wasn't destroyed was just pure luck

[edhopper]

11. I think that is the point

those who thank God for sparing them give him/her the agency to decide what gets destroyed by a tornado. And then they don't blame God for those who are killed.
You are just applying the logic and facts to the inanity of thanking God for sparing them.
If God did spare them, isn't that the same as serial killer sparing someone?

[JoseBalow]

12. Who says god "is"? No evidence of that exists.

There is nothing to suggest that gods are anything more than fictional characters.
Magical thinking has nothing to do with reality.

14. The bottom line.

Life is an illusion and you can paint the picture any color, any design, and anyway you choose. God, an illusion in the writing of the Bible in which was simply the history of that date and "time"
