God Answers Prayers of Miners' Families
"NO!", he answered!
Over the last three weeks, if you were paying attention, you got to see the psychosis of religion in action. While the Sago 13 were trapped, families prayed, and prayed, and prayed and prayed. The Conservatively-biased media visited churches and watched families ask their lord for assistance at their dark hour.
When it was revealed that 12 were alive and one dead, it was considered a miracle! One man even said that the Lord saved those miners.
Of course, a few hours' time would reveal that 12 were dead and one alive. Instead of holding their almighty accountable for not answering their pleas, they claimed that the one survior was a miracle... praise the Lord! The other 12 were "brought home to Jesus", praise the Lord there too. It's a win-win.
The same thing happened this week. Two were trapped in a different mine and died. Rather than get out a shovel and start digging, the families went to church and prayed for their almighty to intervene.
He didn't. The miners died. So, god either hated the miners and let them die, hated the praying families, or perhaps, doesn't really exist. Certainly the lack of intervention might conclude with the later.
Again, with a customer service record like his, I'm surprised God Inc. can still be in business. There's a sucker born every minute and these people submit to praising something that never seems to deliver. Of course, the 1 out of 15 is held up as evidence of his power.
I just don't get it. How do they get it both ways?

Did the Tiki cause Greg to wipe out, and cause the spider to walk on Peter,
or did the Tiki prevent Greg’s wipe out from being severe, and prevent the spider from biting Peter?
Is the glass half full or half empty?
Of course most kkkristians scream “who drank half of my water?!”
maybe god was up in heaven, blogging away, revelling in his witty diatribe typing out his new post entitled "Why Atheism and Lack of Human Compassion are Mutually Inclusive".
You make the assumption that Schmootzie lacks human compassion. Quite a mistake. To the contrary, I and most atheists are MORE compassionate toward others because we know that some invisible bearded man in the sky sure isn't going to pick up the pieces.
It is horrible that people die in mines, car wrecks, whatever. I don't like it and I feel very sorry for those that suffer loss of a loved one.
But how can they praise god when it works out in their favor and somehow praise god when it doesn't?
That is the ironic double standard in question.
Next time you have a crisis call Jesus and call Schmootzie. Chances are neither of us will show up. However, the chances of Schmootzie showing up are infinitely better and at least he'll call or email to let you know if he won't.
great rejoinder!
