I hate it when religious people act like bigots 😪

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.

It's confirmation bias. When good things happen to the believer it reinforces their bias that they are right. When bad things happen they ignore it or blame the devil. When bad things happen to their enemies they see it as good confirmation that they are right. When good things happen to their enemies they scream it's the devil.
A group of Christians in Hawaii were taking about God's mercy for sparing a church from the fires. But completely ignored the over 100 dead or missing in God's none mercy. Again a confirmation bias.
