Why do Christians Thank God for Saving them from Disasters that he Created?

it doesnt make sense that u create something, and order this thing to keep thanking u all the time, even though it wasnt the human being choice to get created... and why dont the devil and jesus go fight elsewere !!? lol

God did not create the disasters, He just made the formula that allowed for disasters to occur.

I believe that disasters are just a natural thing that happens when the earth go's through a changing faze IE.. continents collide or the oxygen content gets high enough to allow for easy ignition to put the oxygen content back in its natural balance.

All of this is not considering what Man does.

We all know that Man is capable of many things both good and bad.

God has done what God has done, nature does what nature will do, and we do what we feel we should do.

We are all made of the same stuff in the end.

In so far as God being a superman, I don't think that will happen again ether in our lifetime or in the distant future.

We have to be responsible for what we have done and what we are doing even now in every aspect of our lives.

Personaly I belive that we will be among the stars long before we have anything close to an incounter with God or even anything we would consider God Like.

; )

Because of the good feeling to have escaped the disaster. That's natural of a pious nature. In reality though God has nothing to do with the casualties. They happened because they were caught on the wrong place at the wrong time.

The Bible says the Satan is Lord of the air.

2in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.

That being so, he is also the cause of natural disasters.

I’ve often thought of something similar. The millions who were slaughtered in the last 2000 years in the name of Christianity. Are those victims grateful for receiving death ( sometimes through agonizing hours of torture) because they didn’t believe as the Christian murderers did. You know like the people that were killed just becuase they thought the world was round or that the earth was not the center of the universe.

It is a bit mind boggling isn't it... It's like thanking a drunk driver for not hitting you while he drove home from the bar hitting many other people....

God gave Man complete rule of the world. God does not create the disasters. Nice try.

i happen to believe that God does not create disasters. when things go wrong, i still praise God because things could have been far worse. myself or someone that i love could have died.

i don't blame the devil nor God. stuff happens. it's life.

Cause they can? Why are you on the Internet for a service your paying for? It's becuase you want to. They want to.

It's odd. I thanked myself and other family members for getting our act together on Saturday and missing the brunt of Katrina, though my father wasn't so lucky.
