If it is OK to thank god for events such as your brother missing his flight that ended up crashing then it is OK to thank god for the rest of the passengers making that flight that ended up crashing.

Of course, just file it away under the ignorance of saying it's "gods will". Doesn't matter who lives or dies, just the mindless mantra of "gods will". Praise be to the god of who crash's planes for giggles.

...... or he ain't in charge of nothing, and it was just random chance, just like everything else.

God is a kid with an ant farm.

As usual...actual Source/Creator God, is being confused with the fictitious Evil/Malevolent Biblegod.

Evil/Malevolent Biblegod would be one with the ant farm and a magnifying glass, on a sunny day...not Source/Creator God.

Well...lunchtime is over...see you all tonight!

You can thank your God anytime you want to, for anything you want to., it's ok.

From the clarity of a mind free from believing fables and fantasies, they are one in the same.

If God exists, do you think he really cares about any one individual? He's running a big experiment, and you're only one aspect.

Or you can liken it to the CEO of a company with a thousands of employees really caring about Joe, a cashier at store 6834 in Two Egg, Florida.

And what about the standby passenger that got a seat because your brother missed the flight?
