It's all pretty simple.
Those that believe in hashgocha protis love the story.
Those that don't believe in hashgocha protis hate the story.

Very well said. This story hurts atheists where it hurts.

Those that really really don't believe in Hashgacha Pratis wouldn't care about this story, those that don't want to believe in Hashgacha Pratis hate this story.

I don't think one has to even believe in hashgocha protis to appreciate the story. The same way I'd appreciate a story of a man who got saved from some other relgion or while serving another gd in some way and it saved his life.
I'm not sure its so black and white. I can't believe there aren't those who don't even believe in Judiasm at all who don't appreciate the story. Even if in a slightly different way.

Was just talking about the Jews.
Like I told Kol Mevaser, the gentiles are far more receptive than the non-relogious jews.

Had to call back twice to get a clear line but you're right.

If anyone wants to listen it's 212-444-1100
Wait for the annoying commercials to end and then prompt 1 then 1 then 4.

Ah, got it. The Jews do tend to be their own worst enemy but even just with Jewish people I think you'd find some that don't necessarily believe in HP but can appreciate the story.

Disagree.

But that should be readily apparent by now.

Because, being that I believe in only one G-d, I'd know that if somebody was saved it was because
G-d desired it and not because he was serving another god.

Far as I can remember this is the first time I've encountered Frum satire, do all of his articles have such horrible spelling?

You lost me. I don't believe in your G-d but I appreciate the story. You can't understand that?

Not really.

If you don't believe in my G-d, then for all intents and purposes the traveler changed his flight for something that didn't mean anything, didn't have any real value. So what is there to appreciate? That he got lucky?

You're not saying much. Those who were saved, were saved by Hashem. Those who died, were killed by Hashem.

True. So therefore, I wouldn't appreciate any story where somebody attributes any miracle to anyone other than Hashem.

I don't see what's so hard to understand.
Same thing would be if someone went to a church/mosque and their house collapsed at that time.
