How God governs all events in the universe without sinning, and without removing responsibility from man, and with compassionate outcomes is mysterious!

The real mystery is how anyone who believes this can also believe God is good. I know too many people who are grieving for those they loved and lost to believe this could possibly be described as a compassionate act except by the most sadistic psychopaths. I wish one of them could explain to one young lady I know who's aunt and only relative was killed in one of the towers how she was the recipient of God's compassionate blessing, or explain to another young women I know, who's grandmother unwillingly made the trip that day and was killed in one of the planes that crashed into the WTO, how much God has blessed her, or to that poor widow whose husband was died in one of the towers, left with her 3 year old daughter and a child she is about to give birth to, how they were blessed by this God who "allows" these things to happen even though it is in His power to prevent them.

It is this very superstitious "faith" that enables people to martyr themselves and murder thousands of others for their good and merciful God, whatever name they give Him.

Some minister in a TV news interview said that God brings good things from every bad thing. Ergo, something very wonderful would result from the terrorist attacks. Then he smiled and, undoubtedly, felt all warm inside.

Hank people die every day..there is no mystery to there is a time to be born and a time to die .We all know that. this is different only because the numbers are so large and we saw it on TV

The loss being suffered by these families is real,but it is no more a loss than if they had died in an auto accident...

We need to have compassion for the families and help them through their loss...but we need to do that for everyone that has a loss..

Someone once told me life is like a tapestry....we only see the backside of it..all the knots and crossed thread...we will not see the pattern of that tapestry untill we are in heaven
