Hey everybody. First of all i would like to thank you rev. j for showing compassion and kindness to those people that suffered loss due to the tornato. It is my opinion that prayer will help but donations certainly help as well. If anybody as human beings, show kindness to our fellow man if he be atheist or theist it matters not, then kindness will be shown to us. some say it comes in the form of blessings, some say its karma and some refer to it as the laws of the universe.
Now about the part where it was stated that the theists will probably offer some ridiculous explanation such as.. God has a plan and we will rebuild for the glory of God. It seems as if you have an understanding about how we see things. To be honest had you not said that I probably would have. It may seem ridiculous to you but it is an explaination. It isnt a rule we have to like everything our God does. We just have to accept it is the best thing in the long run and sometimes that takes some time. It is written, all things work together for good for those that love god. or you could refer to it is the reasons we believe it happend.
And an added note on that.. God did not destroy his church. A tornado destroyed a building. The "church" is not the church. The believers are the church. And any beleivers that were "killed" as a result of the tornado.. Well as silly as it may sound to some on here, theyre not dead. Their spirit is simply no longer here on earth with the rest of us. Death is not the end in other words. Peace.

Islam has killed millions in the last decade, lets focus all attention on Christianity!
