I decided to do some research into the purported existence of god. Surely the following statistics prove there has to be a god. One has to agree that jc does, in fact, exist if only Tsunami deaths are considered (god works in mysterious ways!)!
Were they all sinners? Nonbelievers and non-christians were, for sure, sinners!!! But, he also took some of the faithful as a sign of his love and mercy! No matter how young they were. Even the unborn children!..... By drowning and/or crushing them! His love and mercy are boundless!!!
Hopefully, this will end the debate over the existence of a god. COMMON SENSE (Reason, logic, rational judgment, etc.), proves he/she/it or whatever does exist! How anyone can deny his existence is beyond me!
Please feel free to post additional statistics which add to the creditability of his existence and of his mercy and love for “his children”.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an evolving table. Records of tsunami deaths are very commonly mixed with earthquake deaths, so notable tsunami events are surely missing from this table, and some numbers here may include deaths not caused by tsunamis. There also have been catastrophic waves recorded in India, attributed to storm surges, that may be tsunamis. The table reflects official compilations and has not been checked in detail. All large round numbers are approximate.

    This was just so believable up 'till the Great Turnip reference. Good job, but as AdminPD says, not promotable. A topic requiring the originator to play devil's advocate for the entire thread doesn't seem a good idea.
    But you might try turning it around to instead ask a question somewhat along the lines of, "How can Christians interpret Tsunami deaths as proof of a loving God when both believers and non-believers are killed?"

    From one believer to another
    I wouldn't go this route as a defense for God. There is way too much open to subjectivity and pure conjecture.
    And please don't think I'm picking on you by any means, as I am believer too.
    I would also echo the other two admin's sentiments here. Its not promotable-- and its a good thing too because your detractors would eat this topic for breakfast.
    That's just a friendly caveat/suggestion. Glean from it what you will.
