Absolutely. It's the view that the suffering and deaths are the result of some known or unknown purpose of God, which purpose is presented as good and merciful, to which I object

Hank your life has a purpose..my life has a purpose..so should not our death?

We see all these parents and loved ones that have a tragic family death start up funds or movements so that the death has a purpose..(or as in the case with Chandras parents ,dealing with the unknown)....

God knows the purpose...we dont need to know.For everything there is a season...those are reassuring words .

I lost a toddler grandson in May Hank,as my family talks and remembers one of the questions asked is would it have need easier..better if he had never been born.We would have been spared the pain of the seperation...but we also would have been denied the joy of knowing him...such is the paradox of life and death..

We do not understand the mind or plan of God.Some will say it is a national rebuke and warning,some will say it is the beginning of the end times..some will say it the devil did it...some will say it was just a sign of evil in the world. No matter what you believe this was a horrible thing to see,and it is awful for those families.

I know that this is part of Gods plan,because not a sparrow falls to the ground with out His knowlege.I think that is a comfort..the world is not out of control..

And some will say that some terrorists hijacked some planes and flew them into some buildings.
Occam, for one
