What has Oklahoma done that God has decided to test their faith?

Update:

Olivia-knowing it is a test does not affect the fact that it is a test. If not a test of faith then for what purpose? Supposedly god has a reason for everything, good or bad.

Jean-Claude So what was the purpose of this test and why do others need to suffer for you to be tested? Seems cruel. For Bible believers god created everything so is responsible for everything bad as well. If you do not believe that then you are not a "true" believer.

Trilobiteme "....This event is to serve his purpose All things work for good in the end" If this is true, evil is good because without gods approval it wouold not exist. Also why do we put people in prisons, death penalty? Do we question gods purpose, a lack of faith, by doing so? God is quite capable and exclusively responsible for judgement? luke 6:37, 40-42, matthew 7:1-5

VMCM Thank you for admitting that god is both good and evil.

Anthony-you contradict yourself, not the good/bad thing but geo vs god, accept/deny god. If

Update 2:

Just noticed part of my update was missing:

Anthony-you contradict yourself, not the good/bad thing but geo vs god, accept/deny god. If you believe noah, locusts, etc. you cannot deny gods capability and responsibility.

J-Dawn-You Should Be Proud! Well done!

To the believers: Just as an exercise....can you list the good things that god will purposely create from this devastation? Ok, I should probably ask this seperately but I'll bet the response will be the same....crickets...

    We rebelled against the Westboro Baptist Church when they came to protest once and the people of that community slashed their tires and none of the tire shops would help. At least that's what they said last year when my town got hit. Proud to be an Oklahoma Rebel.

    Oklahoma is in the heart of Tornado Alley. Earthquakes are happening all around the world and mudslides are even killing people; God does test peoples faith, but it may not be those in Oklahoma; it may be for those who witness it.

    There is no god. It was a weather phenomenon that occurs in what is called 'Tornado Alley'. Happens all the time. The magnitude is what decides if it is newsworthy. If you don't want your house blown down every year: MOVE!

    God tests all our faiths, not just a certain group, and stop blaming God for the bad things that occur

    Well, they will build in Tornado Alley. So in one sense it is their own fault.
