In the last couple of years it seems in the Midwest the tornados hit the homes and the Church is not touched. But down in the Southern Bible Belt the Church is demolished and most of the homes aren't touched.Did you guys upset your God ?

Fish,with all due respect it is not a theory. It is based on the news reports.

Granny, this is fact. You must watch the news.

I always wondered that myself, and I live in the bible belt. A few years ago, during a Good Friday service, the church got totally demolished by a tornado, the preacher's daughter crushed to death by a pew -- and the preacher accepted it as god's will.
God's such a charmer.

Probably a coincidence in that sense, but all things do have their reasoning. I'm not really sure. There was something like this during the hurricanes where the Buddhist Temples weren't touched. If you want a rational explanation, homes are clustered together, a church is usually a bit of a ways away from the other homes, so the chances of a tornado hitting a cluster of homes is higher than it hitting one single church in a designated area. Is that right or wrong? I don't know and it doesn't matter if you ask me. I think what matters more are the people that lost their homes.

I know the church that Grits is talking about. The preacher was a woman, her daughter only 3. This happened in Alabama. If I remember correctly, they set up lawn chairs on the debris littered church grounds for Easter Sunday services. I guess that no matter the disaster, God requires that the show must go on.

I was a minister in a Southern church. The parsonage was about 30 feet from the church. A tornado came between the parsonage and the church and touched neither. Your theory is mute.

Oh puhleeeze!
Do you also knock on wood?
Toss salt over your left shoulder if you spill some accidentally?
Refuse to walk under ladders?
Avoid black cats?
Say "bread and butter" when you and a companion walk either side of an obstacle?
Superstition is the refuge of the ignorant. Are you a refugee?

What I'd like to know is what about tomatoes in a tornado.
What happens like if there are fifty bushels of tomatoes in a tornado, what happens.
As for Bible-Belt churches who all give a crap, not me.

There is much more to good than to evil, and evil is never God's handy work. To unmask evil is to understand tornado.
