Perhaps god answered the prayers of the Tokyo surfers to "just get that one gnarly wave!"
A god who needs to test people is NOT all knowing.
an all knowing god needs not test people..because he knows what the outcome will be regardless.
He does love us..he loves to watch us scatter when he pulls his magnifying glass out so he can fry us with the sun.

So God would not consider it a tragedy to bring thousands of us up there. As for the suffering of the survivors, aren't we supposed to be tried and tested down here? It wouldn't be much of a test if it wasn't sufficiently traumatic to cause people to question their faith. I think it's a load of hogwash now, but it made sense to me when I was a kid.
