To beg onmidude to change its mind in killing you with a tornado?
Don't you want to go to paradise?
If I were a believer, I would pray for a tornado or hurricane to take my life as omnidue in the sky knows what's best for me and suiside will get you in hell.
You need to be a better believer.

.... Is God suppose to prevent all of them? Or just the ones that you personally feel are bad like tornadoes?
Why not? After all, He supposedly made all of them.

... God doesn't create the tornadoes. Those are just random weather events arising from chaotic nature forces.
you reckon?

Christians are called to love and have a heart of desire to help others. Praying for them is an extension of that desire.
While the atheists are actually doing what they can to help. Sure, I get it that this is despair in the face of Incoming we can't do much about but hope we get missed. But praying in the foxholes is despair, in the face of inability to do anything useful.

Yes, this is the bemusing bit. Logically Christians should be praying to be taken out to quit this lousy life and be with God - they only reason hey don't top themselves is because suicide is apparently deemed a sin and debars you from heaven. So you'd be praying to be demolished by some other hand as soon as possible -preferrably God's as then you'd be in the clear.
But in fact fear and horror of death seems to be what drives Christian thought. Indeed they seem unable to comprehend that waving Death at atheists, trying to frighten us into godfaith, is like waving a fetish or Juju at us and expecting us to be terrified.
I never liked tornadoes. If I were to set up housekeeping in an area
where tornadoes frequent, I’d feel like the chap who builds a card
house in the middle of a heavily-trafficked hallway and then freaks out
when it gets knocked over.
If I absolutely had to live in a tornado-prone area, I’d look into
subterranean housing. I realize this has nothing to do with praying,
but then again, planning ahead in the tornado-proofing area would
allow one to focus prayer on other things that aren't as easily remedied
by such planning.

It's a good thing that man brought death into this realm, or we'd have a serious overpopulation problem on our hands.
Nonetheless it's a little insensitive for Christians to thank their God for sparing them from a natural disaster when hundreds of their neighbors weren't so fortunate.
The fundamentalists/evangelicals tell me the same thing. You'll have to get in line.
