whenever a child gets murdered or killed people always say how could god let this happen, but for all we know they could have grown up to murderers themselves, just a thought

    Not nearly as strange/irritating as when an earthquake kills 20,000 people, and a week after the disaster they pull out a child alive against all odds and some people shout "It's a miracle! Praise the Lord!"

    Yes, thank you very much Lord for killing 20,000 people but having the grace of saving one of them. How magnanimous of you!

    Aye, it's seen as a miracle when somebody is healed... see 'God' can heal one person, but not stop an earthquake. Maybe 'he' can't multitask.

    I don't believe in divine intervention on the physical plane. I'm a pantheist anyhow.

    I think a lot of things happen for a reason. It's only afterwards that the reasons become apparent.

    I find it interesting how so many people can be so mocking of one person's beliefs though, when if people mock theirs they get all arsey.

    I don't mind people mocking, questioning or saying anything about my pagan side. I'm real cool with it. And the joke about multi-tasking wasn't meant as nasty.
