An accident? God is all powerful. There is no such thing as an accident that God is unable to prevent.
We know that God did not prevent this one. Indeed, it was an accident held up before the eyes of an entire nation. It's true, God did not prevent this. But we know He could have.
Don't you wonder why He didn't prevent it?? Don't you have any ideas??
Are you saying that God is so weak that He couldn't create something that He couldn't prevent?
Are you saying that God hated those astronauts so He killed them? He's like a great cosmic Hitman? Hmmm...that would also mean that if someone has a tragic accident or disease, then God hated them.
God's wisdom is far more infinte than ours. God's purpose is far more than we can fathom. We cannot infer that God is removing protection from his children, as you have inferred in your continued posts.
If that's your limited perception of God, I would strongly suggest you engage in some serious Biblical study and perhaps correspond with your theologian.

I'm personally an agnostic leaning towards deist, but I've always considered that to be pretty definite proof that if there is a Supreme Being it doesn't routinely involve itself in the day to day affairs of man.

God is not a puppetmaster. His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts. It is natural for us to question why when tragedy and disaster strike, but there is not always an easy cause and effect answer. If there were, it would make US the master manipulators, always jumping through hoops to to control the hand of God. Jesus' disciples thought that adversity was always a direct result of sin but He taught them otherwise.
"As He passed by, He saw a man blind from birth. And His disciples asked Him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?" Jesus answered, "{It was} neither {that} this man sinned, nor his parents; but {it was} so that the works of God might be displayed in him." (John 9:1-3)
I see. So, God had no problem with us when we were run by a pervert who not only believed in abortion, but openly promoted it, and rewarded us with economic prosperity. But when we returned to his side, with a rightous man at the helm he decided to punish us? Is that how you see God?
I'm sure there is a mosque somewhere in your vicinity, perhaps you should go check it out, it seems you might be a little more happy with Islam and a cruel and illogical God.
True. SFW?

No, because I don't presume to understand God's ways, unlike some folks who try to give us the impression that they're His drinking buddies...
