Who are the ones singing the praises of a deity who either directly caused or, through neglect, allowed so much devastation to happen in the first place? 158 people died in that tornado, and most of them were certainly Christians. Praise the Lord.
I stand on the evidence. This is what the Spirit produces:
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Go ahead explain how 74% of the U.S prison population is christian then.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
