Yeah, look at turkey and Syria , pulling body’s out of the rubble then shouting god is great, open your eyes and look around you ffs.
This is exactly why I tell people it is silly and contrary to bible teaching to accredit God when things go in ones favor and ask why he allows evil to happen when they don't
He gets involved in neither instance. Mankind abandoned him a long time ago and he's allowed them to do what they said they could do "be like God knowing how to run their own way". The book of genesis outlines this clearly. He's taken a hands off approach to every part of man's day to day living experiences
Every time I hear a christian say "thank god" when some disastrous situation is averted I cringe. Because when doing so you must reconcile your logic with all the times he didn't cause the crisis to turn out favorably for those involved. And I don't buy for once second that bullshit about him working in mysterious ways. There's nothing mysterious, divine or glorious or righteous about a bus filled with children plummeting into a river killing all inside.
now we can debate at length as to why an all powerful being would have a need to allow suffering to prove a point in the first place and I'm sure there is validity and sound reasoning on both sides ... but this idea that God either caused the earthquake or decided to protect a small fraction out of the thousands that perished is ludicrous on it's face.
