God gave a brief outline of his feelings surrounding catastrophe fallout Wednesday in a press release directed to media outlets around the world. The statement addressed specific instances where bystanders to accidents, fires and other fatal events thanked God afterwards that they were spared.

"This type of comment troubles me deeply. I don't single anyone out for death, and assuming that I've let someone live through any given catastrophe assumes that I've chosen another to die," God said in the written statement. "If that were true, what kind of God would I be?"
