In rare agreement with the boxter

It happens not to be one available to most of us here, and “God’s plan” is of course 100% USDA Grade A (or perhaps, taking into account the steady dismantling of regulatory standards in this sector, the metaphor is ill-chosen) fantasy, but if it serves the purpose of in some measure ameliorating the family’s grief, well I, having never had the experience of being up close and personal to the death of a child, am not going to be the one who dope-slaps them and snarls “Get a clue, you witless yokels.” cordially,

What I can't understand is if you've decided you need an invisible friend to help you through your particular trauma, you invent one that purposefully causes that trauma and then have the temerity to deem your invented invisible friend worthy of worship. In other words, if you choose to believe there's some omniscient, omnipresent power that kills children as a part of his/her/its grand plan, how can it be that you conclude that such a power is worthy of worship? It is an absurd conclusion on its face. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.
