Jesus answers just that (kind of a) question when it was asked of him in Luke 13:
There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

What's to explain? There is no mystery here. A church service was going on during a time where conditions produced a tornado, and this church was in it's path. So what?

The bible states that God is in control of everything.
That means everything, including the devil and the weather.
If you had asked why he allowed this to happen, I do not know the big picture, I only know that God sees the big picture and knows what he is doing and why.
A two year old does not see the danger of a busy street. We do.
explain that one and you have explained our relationship with God.

The Westboro Church, Terry Jones and the guy that envisioned the right of the international aren't any further Christians through any skill. i'm a Christian (Catholic) and they do no longer characterize how i think in any respect. through ways, this develop into think to ensue this previous Sunday because the object states, i ask your self in the journey that they did seem.

No place is particularly sacred in True Christianity.
No places are particularly evil - otherwise you could ask --how come HE did not wipe out that Brothel, or whatever!
Similarly, wonderful people have pain and die like everyone else.
the GOD does not interfere with day to day events in this world-- if HE interfered and "wiped" evil people we would all be goners!

I want quote the Bible but i will say this. Why do you think that God would protect just the christians? That would be like someone asking me to choose a family member to die that is not how God works he cares for everyone on earth.
God bless you.

Dude, don't be a bible baiter. You won't convince them and they won't convince you. It's an exercise in futility and to try to answer the question: Sometimes bad things just happen. It's one of the reasons I have my doubts about a loving God. But...the whole point is..we have to be the best we can to make up for all the bad **** that goes down. Cause..**** is gonna happen.

They never really answer this kind of question.
The best a person can usually get is the...
"God's ways are not like our ways."
"We will understand it better by and by..."

It was God's plan. All those in the building, it was their time to meet their heavenly Father. ETC, etc.
I say, it's just a tragic accident.
