Recently an earthquake hit Morocco and a storm hit Libya and the result was destruction of many buildings and a big death toll. Now I’m not from either countries but I was glad to see a lot of religious people on social media sending their prayers. But then you also have this type of bigot religious people :
Because libya & Morocco are majority Muslim nations , There were many Christians claiming it’s a punishment from God. It’s so hypocritical because natural disasters hit majority Christian countries too. And many churches got destroyed by natural disasters throughout history so It’s a very hypocritical way of thinking And doesn’t support the idea of your religion being the right one.
The Quran (the religious book of Muslims ) Also states the following :
Ali 'Imran - Verse 139-140 { So do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are [true] believers. If a wound should touch you - there has already touched the [opposing] people a wound similar to it. And these days [of varying conditions] We alternate among the people so that Allah may make evident those who believe and [may] take to Himself from among you martyrs - and Allah does not like the wrongdoers }
The verses talk about how God alternates conditions between humans and nations (regardless of their faith) As a test If you’d be thankful when he blesses you And would you remain faithful when he tests you. Plus in Islam dying innocently under debris makes you a martyr.

some time ago there was a hurricane headed directly for us. was not going to be a gigantic one but you never like to see them headed your way.
it took a sudden shift and hit another area.
there was a "good relgious" newscaster that showed obvious relief and made a comment that a lot of prayers were answered in our area.
hmm...guess the heathens in the other hurrican landing zone weren't that good at their religion - or maybe they had a lot of them other religions over there.
if the prayers were answered...wouldn't it have been better to pray that the storm turn into a summer thunderstorm?
@Pretzel bigots, When a natural disaster hits them , They say God loves us and it’s a trial that we need to pull through as a community But when it hits others, They say it’s a punishment from God and this means their religion is false.
we're on this isolated rock, hurtling through space headed nowhere with a limited amount of time the greatest and the least end up the same way and yet we have the conceit to make wars, hate, and consider ourself better than another.
