worth the read for a number of reasons. The guy was ripped out of a closet and thrown about 40 ft. Several injuries and he nearly bled to death. Lots of heroic acts occurred during the storm.

I teared up at the same line. Powerful.

Yes, thank you God, for killing hundreds. I so appreciate your all knowing and all powerful kindness.

A great story about human perseverance just had to be hijacked didn't it. Thanks random college sophomore who just discovered his independence and is rebelling against his parents and society by becoming an atheist and making damn sure we all know it.

Honestly, I can see how someone could feel this way, just as much as I can understand how someone could feel the opposite. This shite is such a mind frick.

Not saying you are wrong, but we are all entitled to our beliefs, and can express those beliefs accordingly, because this web site is awesome.

I agree, but there is a time and place for everything. A thread about an inspirational story is not the time to mock the deep felt faith of 90% of this board. And I promise I am no Bible thumper.

The internet is exactly the place for archaic view points to be attacked.
It was an interesting story but the most inspiring thing about it was how he survived God's wrath. God got as many as he could that day. I'm glad he didn't take my Atheist brother and only decided to destroy his house. Devil must have had his back. Maybe it was Allah? The Buddha? Maybe Vishnu? I need to pray some more to find out because it's unclear.

You come across as someone who cares more about being "cool" than being a good person. Your attitude alone, regardless of your religious beliefs would prevent any friendship with me. I'm definitely not a bible thumper either. You're just kind of a jerk.
