The magical thinking of the religious never ceases to amaze me. The family of ten who missed the tragic AirAsia flight because they were late to the airport is thanking God for sparing their lives. They apparently feel that the Lord in his mercy created enough delays to save them from a horrible fate. But does it occur to them that if there were a god, he would be the same brutal bastard who plummeted that flight into the sea killing innocent men, women, and children in the most horrifying way? Of course not. Because there is no reason to religion, any religion. Which is why all the mourners at the airport are not saying, "Thank you God for killing my family and giving them the opportunity to enter heaven earlier."
