[quote=Anonymous]OP, I agree with the PP who stated that unless people have experienced a tragedy of similar magnitude, they just do not understand and cannot fathom the depth of your feelings or where you're coming from.

I do not believe in God, but I do believe the Universe, as I call it, wants the best for everyone. That's as far as I go with it. I don't look for deeper meaning in the tragedies of life because I don't think there is any. Life has shown me that good and bad things happen to everyone, both good and bad people. There is no divine meaning or reason for it, things just happen. Cancer, genocide, car wrecks, war, famine, disease, death, abuse. No good reason or explanation for any of it, despite what any nutjob Christian tries to tell me.

Coming from a Baptist upbringing, people most likely say Thank God because they are too shallow to express themselves any other way. What they really mean is, they are glad to see you in a better place despite the tragedy you endured. Of course they don't say "Bad God" or "Shame on you God" when tragedy strikes, because to them, their God can do no wrong. A very strange and unbeneficial way of thinking in my book, but to each his own.[/quote]
