I'm sure it was all part of God's plan.
4 dead, 48 injured as tornado hits Boy Scout camp
BLENCOE, Iowa - Frightened Boy Scouts huddled in a shelter as a tornado tore through their western Iowa campground, killing four people and injuring 48 others who had little warning of the approaching twister.
* * *
The tornado that struck a Boy Scout camp in western Iowa killed three 13-year-old scouts and one 14-year-old scout, said Lloyd Roitstein, an executive with the Mid America Council of the Boy Scouts of America. He did not release the names of the victims.
Too bad Pat Robertson doesn't have a regional headquarters there on the Iowa side, across from Omaha. He could have prayed the tornadoes away, like he does hurricanes. And it's a shame, really, that Jerry Falwell isn't with us any longer to explain why God was punishing those Scouts. But not to worry, I'm sure that ol' Fred Phelps will find time to do so.
*sigh*
OK, it's horrible for me to mention this, and connect it with the Christian hate-mongers. A cheap shot. But seriously, how long do you think it will be before one of these idiots (well, not Falwell, of course) or their brethren Christian apologists makes some kind of inane statement about how this tragedy was somehow 'part of God's plan'? I'm sure you could already find plenty of examples of just that in the news this morning.
Gah.

A terrible tragedy...
And I'm not trying to make light of it, but maybe God is punishing the BSA for not allowing Atheists and homosexuals.
