My thought is that he cannot address it. It is difficult to reconcile a "Loving God" who is believed to be omniscient and omnipotent with tragic events. It is also difficult to understand that praying to Him is going to change anything since, at the very least, He allowed it to happen. Ultimately, are not religions predominantly based on faith in their underlying premises rather than logic?
If you disregard Scripture, it is an irreconcilable problem. But if you seek to understand Scripture, and accept it as the word of God, then you see that God is indeed Sovereign and Omnipotent as well as loving - in fact He IS Love. You also see that humanity is fallen and the earth is temporarily under the grip of sin, and thus there is evil in the world. God is allowing Satan to have some control, but only for a season.
What we, as Christians must do is to seek to understand His ways, to seek to reflect Him when illness or tragedy strike, and trust Him by accepting that in the end, the battle belongs to the Lord.
(To tell the truth, that's the only way I can deal with Obama. Evil loses in the end, and he will reap what he has sown).
In the mean time, we, as human beings given a choice by our Creator, need to do what we can to help those who have been hurt by this disaster, and pray for the survivors.
Firstly, your lumping all "religions" together is a faulty premise in your question. Some religions are much better than others because they believe in Faith AND Reason.
