[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no comfort to be found in this. Either there is a God and he failed those children or their isn't a God and the children are dead and that is it.  I don't know what side of the fence I fall on, to be honest.  I think it all sucks.

Agreed.[/quote]

But the former possibility allows for hope, and faith, and love conquering all.

The latter position is only despair, because then violence and senseless destruction would ALWAYS be stronger than love.  Murderers would live well, while innocent children would be nothing more than fodder.  All of us would be nothing more than atoms, and justice and love would be fantasies, rather than reality.

Any thinking, feeling human being would be tempted to despair sometimes.  But we can choose to have faith in God, choose to hope in justice and mercy, and choose to love.

I choose faith, hope, and love.[/quote]

I could choose to do that, but it wouldn't be authentic.  I could go through the motions but the fact is I don't feel it in my heart.  I really, really wish I could. I think things would be much easier if I could just choose to believe.  But I can't seem to turn my heart in that direction, no matter how badly I want to believe. [/quote]
