[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We know a family who recently had a child die of cancer. The kid went from healthy and happy to dead at 16 in 11 months. It was vicious and horrible and involved all kinds of anguish and suffering. The child's mother created a Caring Bridge site and she detailed the abominable suffering her child had gone through the night before. Some fool commented on the description by saying "God doesn't give anyone more than they can handle". It was a prime example of how trite religious sayings spew forth from well intentioned people yet have awful consequences. I just can't imagine being a big enough jackass to dare say something like that. It was completely emotionally tone deaf to a frightening degree. 
A merciful God wouldn't do that to a child. He also wouldn't let kids starve or anyone get ALS or whatever. [/quote]

I agree trite responses like that are awful. But with he rest is your post you again you demonstrate that you don’t know and aren’t interesting in understanding the religious perspective. [/quote]

DP - Please don’t ignore the possibility that the position you have put forth is both understood and rejected as illogical[/quote]
