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

Yes...ok, I buy that.

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

Riiight...

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

Bull...what keeps you going is no other choice and the will to live.

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

Yeah, but why are these people thanking an all seeing, all good god that spared them but allowed the death of many of their townskin? Obviously they don't think death is desirable but it's ok if granted to others?

Do you realize that most of your sentences start with "maybe"?

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 God doesn't dabble in matters as small as a tornado and that nature just wreaks havoc on its own.
