It's presumptuous to think that the 161 weren't purposely taken by God.

This sounds more like a "rendering" of the truth that puts the word butterfly into the retelling of each harrowing story, an authors trick to hook an audience - as if miracles are not enough.

Actually, not all the stories contain the reference to the "Butterfly People". The first link to the article I posted says that there was a meeting after the storm in which somebody got up to speak and said that her daughter/son had seen "Butterfly People" and there was a gasp through the audience. To me, that means that other people had seen or heard spoken of similar beings - not necessarily had called them that. The term "Butterfly People" did stick, though, and maybe that was, in fact, a kind of affectionate term for this town of the beings who had saved their lives or the lives of their loved ones

The tornado killed 161 people.
Did they not have enough Butterfly People to go around so 161 ended up not surviving? I don't doubt the stories but I do wonder why the 161 who died were NOT protected by the Butterfly People?
Not everyone can be saved.
Think about if you had to save your drowning family and you only could save one. Your wife, or one of your three kids. Yes, an extremely tough and hopefully ficticious decision to make, yet these types of things happen.
Although it would be extremely tough, wouldnt you save the one who was most pure, perhaps the youngest, or the one who seems to be going places.

This is the reason. If you see something, and are constantly told "No, you don't see that, it doesn't exist," you condition your mind not to see that thing anymore. They haven't been told that they don't exist yet. It is also the reason that children are percieved as being 'sensative' to spirits.

Believing in god, angels and such pretty much makes it hypocritical to believe in human rights and free will.
