[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for this post, OP. Those are my thoughts exactly. If there were an omnipotent God, then he/she should have prevented the crash. [/quote]

Most of us non-religious folk agree with this, but this is not something to question when people are hurting and seeking comfort in familiar rituals. We all know the most common reason people stop believing in God is because they are aware of so much unjust suffering around the world and cannot square this with a supposedly benevolent deity. Unless you believe in vengeful and murderous gods, of course, like many ancient civilizations did: that solved that problem!

But religious phrases, gestures, hope of a peaceful afterlife with loved ones, have profound and emotional meanings for a lot of people with even tenuous connections to their faith. It's not cool to choose a moment of vulnerability to start pissing all over their support systems.

This whole discussion isn't really about religion. It's about etiquette and common decency. What not to do when people are scared and lost. [/quote]

Which to pp's mind, includes not expressing one's thoughts anonymously on the internet.[/quote]
