Stats about How Disasters Affect Faith
On the heels of the devastating tornadoes that struck Oklahoma in May 2013, LifeWay Research completed a survey about suffering and faith in God. Here's how people responded when asked, "How do you feel about God when suffering occurs that seems unfair?"
- 33 percent—"I trust God more"
- 25 percent—"I am confused about God"
- 16 percent—"I don't think about God in these circumstances"
- 11 percent—"I wonder if God cares"
- 8 percent—"I am angry or resentful at God"
- 7 percent—"I doubt God exists"
Nearly 60 percent of survey respondents said that at the very least their interest in God increases when a natural disaster occurs.
