Likely the people who died prayed, too.
Moving on.
"Likely"?

Did you have to take lessons to become a first class dickhead like this or did it come naturally?
Fortunately, you weren't in one of those houses. I would've said a prayer for you too! Believe it or not.

Can I ask a side question, ronedee? I'm just curious as to whether or not you use a special lubricant on your anal sphincter.
I'm sure you are a kindasewer when it comes to those products.

Nah, just kidding. Big difference between correlation and causation. I don't think those prayers are doing much of anything.
Just food for thought. We need some different persepectives than the usually bon a faire around here.

Bam.
By your logic you live on a moutain top, and never go out of the house!

Imagine they were muttering verses from the Koran instead of the Lord's prayer. Would you have attributed their safety to that? Would it even have crossed your mind?
I'm guessing not.
uh...show me ONE case like this! I'll be a believer!

Thank you, lord, because my mother has tumors, yet not cancer.
Thank you, lord, because I got mugged, yet not killed.
Thank you, lord, because the wind took some houses, but missed some.
Lord, you are so perfect! You don't ever miss a thing or make mistakes!
Great prayer! Amen!
Yes, likely. We won't know for sure, of course, but statistical probabilities (and as the Christians love to remind us, 80% of the US population is Christian) is that several of them prayed.
