One can not destroy the Church in fact, because the real Church is the Body of Christ in fact !
As with the children of Israel, the only way for a child of God to destroy God's blessing upon them, is by sinning against Him like the rest of the world.

In Numbers 25, Balaam showed Balak, how to entice Israel to curse themselves from the face of God.

But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

I always watch a video to see what denomination of church it is. It didn't say. But I'm always curious. I don't exactly trust the media.

The Body of Christ is not in a building and our body is Temple of Christ.

Why does God allow churches to be destroyed?​

Why make God responsible?

My Church was literally ruined by a frozen sprinkler that busted on Dec. 24 a week ago. My church is not small, its multi-level with elevators, It is fairly new. One sprinkler head took it out for 6 months. We are in the world, but not of the world. We must not go the path of judgement from God. You have too look at disasters as of the world and what is to come. The body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit and our Tabernacle is in Heaven.

I'm not sure who is destroying churches and schools but it's no coincidence. There is clearly a targeting of natural disasters on churches and schools. They both teach people things. And something powerful doesn't like it.

Holy churches good, liberal schools bad.

The targeting needs to get better aim, and be less indiscriminate.

2 Corinthians 12
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Also:

John 9
9 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

One shouldn't assume that just because someone is suffering that they deserved it, but rather realize that there is always something greater at work.

I've seen a couple churches destoyed by tornados and schools too. Seems like they hit a lot of churches and schools. Which seems odd to me, the size of a school or church building is failry small compared to the possible paths that tornados could take. Here's an interesting article on three schools hit by three separate tornados:

A Look Back: Tornadoes didn't spare high schools

Maybe it is a Sign to the community to pay attention of what is happening in those man-made buildings.
