Too sad!
Swimming skill should be made important for all travellers by boat.
It is a skill I must have before attempting water transportation.
. VALID Point I seconded. Though almost all riverine dwellers are skillful swimmers.

Your response sounds like that of a pained religious apologist.

Too many fairytales and ridiculous stories in the bible that no sensible human takes it serious.

Let's not delve into it because at the end, your last defense will defy logic
Pained? I am not the one slashing out comments and also not the one using needless emojis to try convey that you're not bothered about the fact that you can't carry out a matured conversation.


You want logicality? Which is more logical? Billions of years ago, you were an insect, a micro organism or you share ancestry with apes OR ALMIGHTY God moulded you, breath life into you and made you alive? Which is logical? You don't strike as intelligent enough to use logic to shut me up.

There are things that faith cannot do for you. For example wearing a life jacket if you can't swim.
Only God can comfort the families because there is nothing anyone can say to them to help them at this time. cry
. EVEN The so called Life Jacket is NOT 100% safe. Becos in a scenerio where you are floating on the water and a Shark for example discover you, omo, you don finish be that o. To me, water creatures are more vicious than land‘s.

WHY LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE SAVIOUR NO SAVE THEM?

Over to the noise makers of :
" accept Jesus today "
" accept Jesus before its to late "
" only Jesus Christ can save "
. NL Would have been greater if not for certain favouritism here. As a Christain, U can‘t comment on a muslim topic without first commiting yourself to a momentary CONVERSION to a muslim before you are allowed to do so. But its not so when it comes to any Christian thread Why? Till now, no one knows why. Otherwise, this kind of (ewu mallam) wouldn‘t have been here in the first place spewing gigbberish nonesense.

Why didn't God save them?

Is it that difficult for the God they were serving to save them?

Not even one survived.
. HEY U, Stop asking stupid questions. Didn‘t u read through the account very well? U should fear God and stop asking useless question I repeat.
God warned them against this trip but they were nonchalant and complicent about it. And this is how:-
First sign:- The bigger Boat they were to travel by initially arranged for, left before their arrival at the River.
Second sign:- One of them made a call and was CLEARLY told the program has ended.
Aren‘t these enough reason for them to beat a fast retreat? Instead, they embarked on the journey notwithstanding and U are here questioning God without fear like an atheist on weed. Excuse Me pls. U are disgusting. I hate ppl who don‘t fear God.

First you need to understand the concept of the term "God" is ambiguous. For me, God simply means nature. Nothing more.

There is no evidence anywhere the creator asked for worship.


. U Must be an atheist on the loose. Get out of here and allow sane comments the space you are occupying with your atheistic ideology.

It's more logical to believe I was a bacteria billions of years ago than believe an imaginary sky daddy moulded me.

Trust me, it's more logical because bacteria still exists today.

Where is your sky daddy?
OKAY.

Dont quote me with your embryonic illogical submissions.

Those people that died when a plane crashed into their homes, which warning did your God give them?



A man was walking on his way to work and hit his foot against a stone. By your warped logic, God has warned him not to go to work. What a lazy way to reason.

Cant your God save them from the water if he truly cares? Why not speak directly to them to stop the trip?


How you religious apologists look for shallow ways to defend your sky daddy who doesn't give a phuck about you!
. TRASH FROM AN ATHEIST.

So very avoidable.
1. The event was already over, no need to continue travelling.
2. Overloading a boat.
3. No lifejackets worn.
Basic watercraft safety: don't overload a boat. Overloading can cause it to capsize. Everyone wear a life jacket, even those who can swim. That way, if the boat does capsize, your head is above water, and you are visible to rescuers.
A terrible situation, and utterly needless.

You sound like one of the brainwashers or one who has received too much brainwashing.

Are you saying God failed to protect all the victims because they were aware the program was over?

What kind of defense is that?

How does going ahead to their destination becomes a reason why their God abandoned them?


That God did not save them from drowning does not mean he can't save them. God knows best, we can't question Him, He allowed it for a reason.
