Perplexed

I am always perplexed (and frankly appalled and angry) when someone who survives a tragedy says, "God was looking after me." Or "God saved me." Even if someone believed that, why would they say it out loud? Does that mean god couldn't be bothered to look after the people who were killed in the same tragedy? I always cringe, thinking of the relatives of the dead wondering why god didn't save their relatives.
