Religious people always have been saying this. I saw on the news years back about a tornado that destroyed a home, and the mother/daughter who was not home but her mother and children were; well, all were killed in the home but one child who was found flung up a tree without a mark on her but some minor bruising.the mother said to the news person: "God was looking out for my daughter." Yet, apparently, not her own mother or other child.
Idiocy.
