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

Det. Brees said

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.

Well this is the problem with blind faith, thanking your god for sparing you when he chose not to spare someone else. If god is all powerful and all knowing then why did he feel like you were more deserving of being saved than the ten children who died?

Life is painful, sometimes we have to just accept that and not look for some greater plan when we're surrounded by inexplicable suffering.
