(7,972 posts)60. Mea Copa, I'm guilty too. It was a moment just following a neighbor "thanking God" for Protecting her family
from the tornado that swept through a town in Oklahoma and wreaked so much damage, I suspect injured or killed more than just a few families or members including babies and children. I asked her if God protected your family but killed other families because they deserved it? Why did God "protect" your family over others?
It wasn't intended as a rhetorical question to her, because she earnestly went on about why they were left untouched by this random tornado.
I think about how much religion has and continues to do so much damage to humanity.
Wars in the name of Religion since the dawn of humanity to this very moment.
