text: Perhaps this Christian can explain:
  
  1.  The god knew that the fires would occur, that good people would killed and rendered homeless.  Why did he do nothing to prevent it?
  
  2,  What is the point of praying to the god after he has been quite happy to allow the disaster to happen in the first place?
  
  3.  What are you praying for: that the dead people become alive again, that houses will be miraculously replaced?  Are you expecting that mumbling to yourselves will make your god changes his plans?
