Yeah, so an overnight tornado ripped through a campground where over 90 Boy Scouts were attending a week-long leadership camp.  4 teenage boys (13-14) were killed.

Since we seem to love discussions about God, I have to ask how he/she can allow this to happen.  Where is your god now?
You should be more like Cantrip.

There's a border between "semi-controversial topic" and "tasteless". I don't think it's fair to blame an event of nature that took 4 young lives tragically away on God.

God's with Crawdad and I. Same series of storms spawned a tornado in our city - half a mile from our house. So where's God? Pretty damn close to us, is my guess.

Here's a link to the news site. The hardware store that was leveled is just a few blocks from our house. Crawdad works at K-State.

Given the way you ask, I do not think you would be receptive to an adult discussion on the topic.

Needless to say, what happened is a tragedy and the timing of the question is in poor form.  Maybe another day....

In an hour of Darkness a blind man is the best guide. In an age of Insanity look to the madman to lead the way.

God is like the Gman, he makes undeserving people die to pay for the survival of others. These kids probably died because some old cocksucker just successfully came out of chemotherapy.

Yep, its amazing how he gets all the credit but none of the blame, even when it is expressly stated in the infallable book.....

How could god allow this to happen?  He didn't because he doesn't exist.....very simple...

Yarrrr! to the FSM.

It can't be all good you know. There needs to be a balance. Unfortunately this balance doesn't happen to faceless humans, but to people with families and people who care about them.

On a side note.....I was down in Louisiana after Katrina hit, with habitat for humanity.....I saw people who claimed that their faith had only been strengthened by this....And I saw their bigotry, their rudeness to an atheist who is repairing their home, for the simple reason that he was an atheist......

I read or heard somewhere that atheists are the most mistrusted group in america. Above gays and niggers. Kinda makes you wonder..

Oh well off to Canada or Europe.
