Al, > I hear this braindead crap here too often...in Tuscaloosa many of the folks who lost their homes to the recent tornado outbreak will cry on TV thanking God for sparing them...why did he spare them and allow 200+ others to die, including children too young to sin? They are mindless idiots...

Maybe surviving a terrible tragedy makes a man humble and thankful to be alive.

Maybe there are reasons beyond our understanding why some people were spared and others weren't.

Maybe when everything else is taken from you, including family and friends, the only thing that keeps you going is faith in God.

Ever read the story behind the hymn "Amazing Grace"? It was written by a guy who survived a near shipwreck:

en.wikipedia.org

Personally, I think all those reasons make more sense than the belief that we're all just the product of random chance.
