Do you realize that in a christian world view the only people that this affects is the people who loved them. I mean the person who died no longer has to live in this world that is inflicted with pain, disease and other horrible things. Their next conscience moment would be an eternity with a God who loves them and they are in a much better place. God knows he would have this person for eternity and he will never lose him. The families of the victims are the only ones that are affected and that would be expected because you miss the ones that you love, but what true tragedy has happened when a christian dies?

Good is protecting us. He is protecting the mother and father of that child by giving them faithto deal with there lost all they have to do is call his name. The family of the church members all so. God never said that he can stop the ways of this world. He can give you understanding, faith, love and so much more. We all know that we have to go sometimes, but while we are here we have to be obedient to God. As long as you do Gods will on earth life after will be heaven. He's love is like no other. As for where is your GOD? He is right here and will always be you just have to have faith in ask that his will be done in your life and then you will know him as your father. All ways remember the devil is busy. As long as you have GOD in your life and in your heart you have Everything.

We aren't meant to last forever. As a matter of fact, death is to be considered a gift as a Christian because we will finally be with God. Yes, it is sad that these things happen, but I don't think God just "lets" things happen. Bad people choose to do bad things, and people die for all kinds of reasons, many we may never know in this life.

Not to mention, not too long ago a few million jewish people died in the hands of russians and germans during WWII. Why did "their" god let that happen to them? Islamic people are killing themselves all the time, to kill Jewish people and Christians (supposable infidels) and their god, of a religion called islam (peace) is letting them do this in his name...
Millions of people die of disease and famine world wide, where is all these people's god?
Wait... someone survives from cancer, that person WENT to a doctor and got "spared". A MIRACLE!!!! oh wow, god is great, blessed be He. ok.
When was the last time a child grew a second arm after losing the first? never. till then, god's missing.
(was he ever there?)

He is here. Do you think that the believers who were killed yesterday are whining because they are now with their Lord? Hardly!
Since the beginning of our faith, Christians have been martyred, and it was through such martyrdom that the Church grew. Tertullian even wrote to a Roman official that the seed of the church was the blood of the saints.
This is nothing new to us. In the 20th century, more Christians were martyred worldwide, than all the previous 19 centuries (A.D.) combined.

You see this is the kind of thinking is what gives God a bad name.
If you belive in God you most likely belive in Satan. God does not do this to you! He let's it happen.
Why doubt someone so high in power? When we are just dust.
Why we die? That is the consequece we got because our first parents. Thats the ultimate price that we can pay... Thier is no hell if anything hell is here on earth in this system of things.

We live in a world full of sin and wickedness. God made everything good. Adam and Eve chose sin and brought death into this world. Those 5 Christians you mentioned are in a better place than you are. Christians do not fear death, because they've been forgiven of their sins because they accepted Jesus as their Savior.
Just a thought for you. If God wants us to stay on this earth, no number of killers could take us out.

Yesterday I made a 325 mile trip in pouring rain. I passed 6 wrecks. I had asked God to protect me and He did. He still protects but if we knew why some live and some die then I guess we would be God.

The bible never explicitly states the motives or method of God. This lack of definition leaves quite a lot of room to interpret events as one wants them to be interpreted.
When things go wrong, it is the devil at fault, or it is a more mysterious function of God's even more mysterious plan. When things go right, it is the work of God, no questions asked.
That seems to be the common ideology behind it.

Silly, we don't have any guarantee of physical protection. If anything, following Christ will get us killed.
It is our eternal destination that is kept secure. This life is merely the beginning. A true Christian does not fear what man can do the the body.
