"Lucky"? Nice try....
Obviously, none of you took any time whatsoever to read the article.
If you did, you would know there were 4 Jesuits that survived, and lived full, healthy lives afterwards...while no one within several miles of the blast lasted more than 15 years. Also, they were 8 blocks from ground zero. Nothing survived that close. The wood rectory building was the only wooden structure standing anywhere in the city. There were no other catholics or otherwise in or around the church at the time of the blast. Just the priests that had just finished praying!
Even in the light of your ignorance, and denial you should be wondering how something like this could happen?
But alas, proof of anything to do with religion isn't enough for people who don't want any.
Jesus gave us understanding to the purpose and ways to a full life. And all we need do is open that door. Who are we to demand proof from God? And who can think like God?
If there is an independent spiritual evolution to be acheived [in this life] to a greater purpose, this is actually a great way for God to sort us out. Because in the scheme of things, this life is an eye-blink compared to all eternity!
And what we say, and do will be accounted for. Jesus said, "I will not judge you... You will judge yourselves."
So, no matter what you "think" you believe... that statement proves that you are in some inner conflict about denying God.
No matter what man has done, created, written or said for against Him. God still hasn't had the final word....yet!
