[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People need to come together after something awful happens, like the crash at National Airport last night, but they don't need religion to do it.

It makes me sick to hear people invoke God for comfort after the crash, when God, if he existed, supposedly could have prevented the crash.

It would be nice if people could just come together after a tragedy without pulling religion into it. [/quote]

I am not religious but the fact that it makes you “sick” suggests you should spend an extended period of time in self reflection examining why you are such a horrible person. [/quote]

In your opinion.  Seems like you could be called a horrible person for calling OP a horrible person.[/quote]

No, I agree with the other PP. OP is being quite hateful and is lashing out at religious people. It's not right. I'm not religious, and even I can see that!

OP here and needless to say, I disagree and am so sorry that I'm perceived that way by supposed non-believers.  I certainly don't deny people the desire to come together in a tragic moment, but really wish that more people, including the 2 pp's, could do it without the intervention of an invisible supernatural being.[/quote]

I am surrounded by people who don't believe any more or never believed. None of them would act like you, OP. There is a time and a place. You are cruelly lacking in basic empathy. Even my staunchly atheist husband on the autism spectrum knows to shut his mouth in such circumstances!

This is an anonymous board and the OP may very well be your DH.

I think it’s a fair point to make and I hope more people will pause and reflect on who and what they beleive.

I’m not an atheist, and have experienced a divine presence but I don’t pray or ask it for anything or credit it for anything.

What happened was tragic, but tragedies happen daily. In this time I am reminded of that and remind myself to live in the present moment because that’s all there is.
