[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A friend told me that when her husband's died, it was like beimg awakened from a dream. Reality hits you in the face. It stripped away the religious belief that she was raised in.

She said that God did not prevent her husband from a horrific death. God does not stop bad things from happening to believers or non-believers. Instead, she realized that God and religions are myths made up by people to cope with life.

Not OP but wasn't that obvious before?  Everyone knows bad things happen to good people. If someone is religious they have to somehow make sense of that. [b]Why should their feelings change just because it hits home?[/b][/quote]

Isn't that the reason we have a term like "hits home?"  Death was somewhat theoretical, then someone they loved died, and the difference between what they thought and what is real became clear.  It's fine to acknowledge that bad things happen to good people, but when those bad things deeply affect you directly it can be difficult to hold on to the notion of a benevolent god.[/quote]
