Blitzer tells atheist tornado survivor:"You gotta thank the Lord"

Even if the woman was religious, I don't get the logic behind this question.

"You're standing amid the rubble and complete annihilation of your hometown with dead children strewn about.......you must be thanking the Lord right now"

What? Come again, Wolf? Yeah. Thanks for killing my neighbor's child instead of mine, Lord. You're so kind.

Uhhhhh ok I dont get this thought process.

THe religious dont thank god for killing others. They would thank god for sparing their lives. After all it could have been much worse for the survivors. It no way is it meant to downplay the suffering that the victims are going through or that god did not care for them. Im not the most religious person and i even realize this.
