Thanking God After the Alabama Tornado Sends the Wrong Message

In the video, according to CNN, Reese, who suffered a broken hip and will undergo surgery on Monday, tells her grandson, Kingston Frazier, via FaceTime, that she thanks God for sparing her life even though she lost her house.

“I thank the Lord. You tell God, ‘Thank you, God.’ You hear me? You hear me? Tell God thank you. Tell God thank you,” Reese tells her grandson.

These people are expressing gratitude in the face of tragedy, so their reactions are understandable. But still, you can’t help but wonder if they would dare say any of these things to the faces of those whose family members or friends were not so fortunate. Reading between the lines, what the survivors are also saying is, “Thank you for letting someone else’s house get destroyed instead of mine.”

But, nowhere in the article does anyone even consider that "god" could have just erased the tornado altogether and spared all the loss of life and destruction.

"OH, it's a sign of god because the whole building fell down except the part where we hung up the cross...."

DUMBNASS!!!! "god" leveled your god-fearing-ass' building, you dumbass!!!
