Their friends and family are welcome to erect whatever symbols and icons that would bring them peace. You do know that you would be abridging 1A rights by preventing this display? Not to mention, it would be horrifically unpopular.

You think those crosses were erected by friends and families? No, they were likely some random group trying to politicize a tragedy. And a group who only care about Christians (which is what Jesus would, do right?). So don't pretend like they have good intentions or are just some loving memorial set up by loved ones.

Clearly you don't get religious people, since that's but what religious people believe.

How did the plane crash happen, then. The Devil? Do you think God shows up to comfort people afterwards, but can't stop the crash?

People need to be comforted, sure, but they do it by getting together - and in some cases they praise God , for what, it's hard to know. Maybe for sparing them such a horrible fate.

God is always responsible when things go right. Never guilty when things go wrong.

OP didn’t mention anything about wanting people to come together, did they?

OP’s first sentence “ People need to come together after something awful happens”

You presume to know more than God, that you have infinite knowledge.

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.

That’s not true. And if you think it’s hypocrisy, then you just don’t understand it.

I kind if agree though. How can he pick and choose? It makes me cringe when people say He chose some and not others to save.

It's a misunderstanding to say "He chose this person not that person." That is the part that isn't true, even though yes, some people do say those words. But people find many different ways to make sense of tragedies, and we won't all agree with everyone else's way. One person's words of comfort often are painful to another. Death and dying are very difficult to talk about for most people, and even more difficult for people in mourning to make sense of. There are many "cope" words and phrases.
