a dolphin saves a drowning child and everyone praises God and calls it a miracle. Lightning bolt kills 5 children while they were PRAYING and everyone says it's "all part of his greater plan." regardless of what the event may be and how negative it may seem, having faith and believing in his plan is a fail-safe excuse for God.

thinking that a tsunami that wipes out hundreds of thousands of people is 100% a good thing seems kind of ignorant to me. it doesn't make sense for God to kill that many people and for all of us to believe that it's "all part of the plan." This "Faith" that we have seems similar to the faith that the Aztecs had back in the days where they thought they had to sacrifice blood every morning in order for the sun to rise.

Religion is, if nothing else, illogical.

Only on ATOT could people make light of five kids getting killed. But it's OK, because making fun of religion has to come first.

Not all that God does may be considered by all to be a "good" thing. Trials are an every day part of life. They are to help us. Things like this crap are still sad though.

Nah, it's more that people couldn't care less about Mexicans around here. If this were five WASP kids from North Dakota everyone would be breaking out the

:( , but it's just Mexicans so 'Good game god', 'god knows what he's doing, those kids f***in had it coming to them' and '
Head Shot. Killing Spree' are acceptable comments. It's starting to piss me off.

Tsunamis are a good thing. Population control. Its all part of natures balance. As populations increase, natural disasters will only get bigger in damage and death toll.
