Believers crack me up when they want to attribute anything good to their imaginary deity. But when bad things happen they either want to blame "Satan" or they say "God has his reasons".
A perfect example is when someone wants to praise "God" for giving us a beautiful, sunshiny day.
In this case, they are saying that "God" is responsible for the weather. Well, if he's responsible for a beautiful spring day, then he's also responsible for hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, floods, hail storms, sub-zero temperatures, etc....
Which means he's responsible for people dying, being seriously injured and having their homes destroyed.
Either "God" is responsible for all of it, or he's responsible for none of it. Which means if he's responsible for nice weather, he's also responsible for horrors caused by bad weather. But if he's not responsible for the bad weather, then he's also not responsible for the good weather. So why praise him for a nice day?

Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
