Multiple
tornadoes went through the south creating massive death and destruction,
especially in Alabama. The apocalyptic
scenes left in the wake of these storms were almost beyond comprehension, and
the sudden death and injuries visited upon these people is heart rendering.
But, one of
the pictures that was most pitiful to me, was a group of people standing in
front of landscape of total destruction, linking hands and praying to God to
thank him for their salvation from the storm.
Neighbors
dead, grandma put in the hospital, their trailer turned into matchsticks and
their dog skewered by their TV antenna, and they are thanking God – not questioning
why their all-powerful God didn’t stop the tornado from targeting His faithful.
If they
believe He saved them, they should believe He could have prevented this. What sort of sadistic God would allow
something like this happen to his followers?
Faith beyond comprehension. I don’t see it as amiable. What does it take for the faithful to finally
give up the cult and ask questions?
Locking
hands in a show of strong community and mutual support is inspiring, but thanking
a god for the outcome of a tornado is pitiful.

No. It's not pitiful, it's incomprehensible stupidity.
