I will probably be accused of being an athiest troll, but I have to wonder where God is when horrible, stupid things like this happen.

The Creator made us in his image and, therefore, we are also creators...on a lesser scale. As such, we create what we experience: the good, the bad, and everything in between. That's why it's flawed...we are learning. If God created it, it would be flawless.

I believe in God, but i'm not buying your pat answer. I don't think God caused this man to die such a horrible death, but I don't think this good doctor "created the experience" of getting decapitated. Certainly you're not suggesting that he initiated his own death experience because he happened to get into a malfunctioning elevator at that precise moment? Is there no room for accidents--with no one to blame?--in your life view?
