I am definitely not a fan of those who, after a natural disaster that could not be averted, claim that God spared them, or someone close to them.

Unless the decision was the result of a divine dart having been thrown at a beatific dart board, the implication is that the survivors were chosen by God because they were better people than those who did not survive, or that those who did not survive had been judged by God as not worthy of his largesse.

It seems to speak of a conscious acceptance or rejection by a God who does not explain to those who lost a loved one why the choice was made.

Two children are in the same classroom when a tornado hits the school building, and one survives while the other does not.

Two parents appear on the evening news claiming God has spared their child, while another quietly mourns the loss of theirs.

One family speaks of having been spared through God’s choice, while another not only has lost a child, but knows people have been led to believe the decision was somehow God’s.

They not only mourn the loss of a child, but, if religious enough, have to come to terms with what made that child undeserving of God’s mercy. Was it the child, or were the sins of the father visited upon the son?

Did the wall fall on one child because he was sinful, and not on the other because he lived a better and more worthy life?

Did the first responder turn right or left because of a decision based on a quick analysis of the situation, or did God direct him in that turn so the right kid would be pulled to safety while the other died?

To me this “God picked me instead of others” reaction to such things is insensitivity bordering on arrogance.

It also has a tendency to ignore those who did what was necessary to bring about a good result.

It’s almost as if a person has found an excuse to avoid showing the proper gratitude to the responsible person, or persons.

Ebola has affected over a thousand people in West Africa, and nothing has been able to be done about it.

Two doctors contracted the virus as they worked with those with Ebola, were flown to the United States after having been transported to the airfield by health workers, were then treated by doctors and nurses until a beneficial treatment was discovered and used, and now have no trace of Ebola in their systems.

According to one of the doctors, Kent Brantly, “God saved my life. A direct answer to thousands and thousands of prayers”.

Apparently, besides having had no need for doctors and nurses to bring about the cure, God also ignored the prayers of all those in West Africa, and the whole world for that matter, and chose to cure no one there.

The recovery of Brantly and Nancy Writebol came after treatment with ZMapp, an experimental drug, or didn’t if as Dr. Brantly continued, “Today is a miraculous day”.

At a press conference upon his release, Brantly entreated people to never stop praying for the people of West Africa.

Perhaps he hopes that God, having cured him, might get around to curing the 1,123 Africans still dealing with Ebola. After all, He hadn’t been all that responsive while 1,350 West Africans died from it.

Of course, it does leave one to wonder why a benevolent and loving God waited to act with Brantly, while just turning His back on the people in Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria as they died.

Certainly some of them were good people who prayed as hard as Dr. Brantly did.

Bruce Ribner, director of the Infectious Disease Unit of Emory University Hospital, was a little more generous with his gratitude by stating that the staff there was grateful for having the opportunity to apply their training, care, and experience in meeting the patients’ needs.

The cost of the treatment is unknown.

But if God did it, it seems it would be free.

Meanwhile, if it was the use of ZMapp, this could be the beginning of the end for the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.
