NOT!!!
I can't stand it when I hear a person saying how God "protected our house," when their neighbor's house lies in ruins. I can prove this is pure, unadulterated, bullshit:
Our home was left virtually untouched, and the house across the street lost their roof. This is a bit funny when you consider how many times I've personally told God that he can go "F" himself (and Jesus too, while he's at it). By the way, it also proves that you don't have to worry about being struck by lightening either.
It is so sad... the very people who have "God" to protect them are the ones who are the most lost and shocked when tragedy strikes. It is much better to learn how to stand on your own two feet, rather than lobbying a supernatural power who promises to MAYBE step in and help... but never does. It is amazing how after such devastation and tragedy, they still say, "God is good."
