Tradgedy in WV causes news organizations to prove the scoop is more important than the truth (as the LA TImes, CoCo Times, SJ Mercury News and New York Times among others all reported 12 survivors on the front page of todays editions) and that fair weather Christians shouldn't expect any miracles.(James 1:5-8)
Families outraged
Hatfield's announcement sent Anna Casto, who lost her cousin, into a tirade......
Casto said the tragedy has shaken the faith of some in the community, who "don't even know if there is a Lord anymore," she said. "We had a miracle, and it was taken away from us."
John Casto was at the church when the false report arrived and later, he was there for the terrible news. After the first report, "they were praising God," he said. And after the second "they were cursing."
(full story)

Not taking anything away from her grief, but how can you give God the credit for a miracle one minue, and the blame him and curse him a second later? Do you think he even bothers with people like this? You know what they say..."There's no such thing as an atheist in a fox hole."
