You seem really upset and broken. Have you lost a family member?
upset? to inexistence? what am inferring here is that calamity befall anybody irrespective of his/her believe, it is just random selection and there is no deity anywhere that can save anybody. almost everybody on earth has lost at least a family member to tragedy before.

What exactly the fxxx do we have more than 100,000 churches in Nigeria for ?
What do Pentecostal charlatans like Adeboye, Oyedepo, Oyaks, Okotie, Okonkwo ,TB clown Joshua and all other PFN fraudsters sell to the gullible public for filthy lucre ?
Is it not blessings and protection from the unknown ?

I am not tha type of Christian who follow pastors. I study my bible and do good to people. Am not perfect but am God loving. I hate injustice. Nigeria Christians who purchase thier products are been ignorants. Jesus gave freely. He never asked for money. Anyone who sell CDs Bibles or olive oil is not Been Christ-Like.

Why do buildings collapse all the time in Nigeria?

So you think a collapsed building is an 'accident'. My God!!!


WIKIPEDIA

An accident, also known as an unintentional injury, is an undesirable, incidental and unplanned event that could have been prevented had circumstances leading up to the accident been recognized, and acted upon, prior to its occurrence. Most scientists who study unintentional injury avoid using the term "accident" and focus on factors that increase risk of severe injury and that reduce injury incidence and severity (Robertson, 2015).


something bad that happens that is not expected or intended and that often damages something or injures someone
http://dictionary.cambridge.org


An unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally, typically resulting in damage or injury

Good question. And its very Strange is affecting churches now. Pastors hid money in thier bank account and build their church with very local materials.

A way to economies a money they didnt work for.
In the Bible the house is God was built with very precious stones. Why not follow same example. Anyway, everyone will die at an appointed time. But we shouldnt invite sudden death with our carelessness.

Once again, tens of people have their heads smashed into pieces by a falling Church building.
If they are not being trampled to death at religious crusades, they are being smashed to pieces by falling Church buildings.

Where was god in all these tragedies ?

Are these not proof that religious worship is not only a terrible waste of precious time, but an ongoing health and safety hazard ?

I mean, what a terrible Irony, a very very sad and pathetic one.

It means, and again, ought to invoke and agitate our Common sense that the laws of physics transcend way above god and the notion of god,.., and that god, despite all the claims of imaginary omni omniness, is itself subordinate and subservient to the immutable laws of physics.

It's another confirmation of how grand the delusion, induced by religion.

Check these folks out tomorrow, you will find them gathered under worst death trap church building.

You know what they will say? god forbid.

Again, the height of this delusion will be, the testimony time, at this same collapsed church. Somebody is going to ask the others to shout seven hallelujah to god for saving her or him, from the tragedy.

It's a pathetic pity.

They have all gone AWOL.

Kingebukasblog, where was your god ?
undecided

I'm not sure what they teach in other churches but in my church we are taught we should be prepared at all times because death could come to anyone when his time comes.

You continue experiencing God's divine protection till your time comes . Trust me , some of those people may have been in life threatening situations in the past but came out unscathed .

Take a look at Paul the Apostle sir. He was bitten by a viper but God rescued him

Acts 28:3-6
3 When Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and put them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand. 4 When the native people saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer. Though he has escaped from the sea, Justice[a] has not allowed him to live.” 5 He, however, shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm. 6 They were waiting for him to swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But when they had waited a long time and saw no misfortune come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

The same Apostle Paul faced other life threatening situations but came out unscathed

2 Corinthians 11:25-27
25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I was adrift at sea; 26 on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers; 27 in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food,[a] in cold and exposure.

But when his time was up , what happened ? He was possibly beheaded though the bible was silent on how Paul died . But decapitation was the common punishment at that time in Roman to people who opposed their gods , the Roman gods .

The same terrible deaths happened to Stephen , to Peter , to Bartholomew , to James , to Matthew but that's not important . What's important is the salvation of the believer . Not spending 100 years on earth and then suffering for eternity in hell . Where they born again ? Where they saved ? What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and lose his own soul ? Answer me ? A word to the wise is enough .

May the souls of the dead rest in perfect peace and may God give their families the fortitude to bear the loss . cry

Amen .

What manner of rubbish is this ? shocked

So god protects his faith,.. until death comes in the form of a church building crushing their skulls ?

This is entirely new to me. grin
So, Christians pray to and give endless supplications to god to protect them from all..(? ), Until such a time that danger and calamity come falling down their skulls ?

This is a mighty interesting new doctrine.

You know this Jewish doG is such a mischievous pet.

It claims it can prevent death, but when death strikes, this pet immediately claimed it ordained the death.

No prayer stops anything, they are just satisfying their hook on religious blues.

When they tell people to stop going to road side churches they won't listen . Worship God in bible believing churches to understand the true word of God , they won't listen .

How is this a new doctrine ?

In the Lord's Chosen , the greatest miracles happen there . But the Pastor still tells you to be prepared for you don't know when your time would come .

Death now matter how it comes is a part of life.

Looks like the atheists who think life is meaningless and ask humans to go extinct are more scared of death than Christians they mock and excoriate . undecided

The news of the tragedy shook me mightily. So not even one of the prophets had a premonition about the tragic event before it occurred?

This was what I talked about 4 days ago, that God can't be trusted. A deal with God is as unpredictable as gambling and worse than trusting an invalid in the care of a quack doctor ( at least the quack doctor would make an attempt).

I give up on God!

Which God ? The Personal or Impersonal God ? To the deists , you are wasting your time if you think God would intervene . To the Christians , they have gone to meet their creator or the land of the dead -sheol - and would resurrect with glorified bodies on the last day . To those who believe in reincarnation like some Christians , their souls have gone to meet God and they would return to earth with new bodies much much later .

Jeez! Why are you coming up with explanations for your incompetent God when you should be confronting the ineffectual entity? I believed this people prayed before they left home, but why did their prayers refuse to work?

They have gone to a much better place? So you are basically saying mankind is worthless cause that's what your post intepretes?

This is beyond pathetic. Weren't you the one admonishing grizlybear for holding on to nihilistic ideologies when you aren't any better?

Are you really human, or a programmed robot?

And you told another disgraceful lie, in that other thread, when you asserted that God became angry with Samson just because he sought the affair of a woman from the enemy territory .

The bible made it quite clear that God was the one leading samson to delilah just so he could get even with them.
