Same thing with big accidents, the one survivor thanks god for a miraculous rescue but nobody acknowledges the implied "god watched the other 50 people on that bus die brutally and didn't care"
The implicit assumption is that they must have done something to deserve it. And if that's not the case, pick any one from the list of other excuses Christians come up with to justify their beliefs in the wake of tragedy:
God needed their souls in heaven for a higher purpose.
It was their time.
God took them as a test of our faith.
They're in a better place now.
It was the work of the devil that caused the accident.
Now they're reunited with (other dead loved one).
It is all part of god's plan.
God works in mysterious ways.
I'd prefer it if God could keep me out of his "plans" to "test" other people's faith, thanks very much.
What a shit excuse those are and how insulting to people's lives and deaths.
