Swept to their deaths?

Six 16 year olds from a Pentecostal school and their teacher were swept to their deaths in New Zealand yesterday during an act of God.

Why would God act like that?

    Why does everyone always blame God for these tragedies? Man has been fooling with the environment and changing things for many years, if they would leave well enough alone, we wouldn't have all these things happening!

    Don't blame everything on God, when he gave us free will LOOOOOONG ago and bad things happen everyday. Besides if all the people who died were Christians and truly believed in Jesus for their salvation, they went to a much better place anyway.

    flash flood....it rains on the just and and the unjust...

    why are you blaming God?

    has he polluted the rivers and oceans altering the salt and temp which alters the ocean currents which alters the weather patterns and causes no rain to fall here and too much rain to fall there??

    You called it an act of God, not the reporter and probably not God. It was a tragedy but blaming it on God only makes it worse.

    An Act of God - or an act of nature? God could control the weather but doesn't......

    Every one has to die and God did not say at what age.

    Maybe because... it was their time. Or... um, they were evil?

    Source(s): It's hard being a christian. I might convert any day now.
