Where Credit Is Due
 

If god is responsible for the world's beauty and wonder, then he must also be
behind the little girl who lives across the street. She was born badly deformed
with little use of her legs. Her kidneys are failing. In a cruel joke, her face
is beautiful and her mind sharp. She's 12 and her parents devote their dried up
resources to her final months. Their lives are ruined.

Give god credit!!!! Great job. If he "does" exist and I ever see him, I'll kick
him in his holy balls for that little girl, for my mother, for everyone who
suffers pointlessly.
There's just NO evidence of any god, unless he IS Hitler.

Is it not true, It was better to have loved and loss, than to not love
at all?

No. These hearts are ruined. Nothing has been gained. The couple deserved a
happy and healthy daughter. No mercy from any god was issued or offered. Even
their marriage was destroyed.
God? No thanks.

There are bigger things behind all that happens, of which we may not
be aware.

This is not a very clever response. So you're suggesting that this girl was
"tortured" by fate as part of some plan? Torture is a kind word in this case.
If there's a god, he's evil and cruel and stupid. Period.
Oh, and I've been saying this for 25 years and I've been pretty happy so far.
No keys to the pearly gates, right? BTW, those gates are made from murdered
oysters.

How would you know of beauty and wonder if you did not know ugliness &
hate?

Without "up" there would be no "down".


Ah yes. I've heard this ideal...the need for "horror." Sorry, I'm not having
it. The horror proves we are on our own and not part of some inexplicable plan.

You need to read "A prayer for Owen Meany". It helps me to understand we all
have a place, and such handicaps are truely hidden strengths. My heart goes
out to such families, they are in my prayers.

Owen Meany is one of my favorite books EVER. I've read it a dozen times, nearly
as much as Garp. Nothing equals the brilliant creation of the Ellen Jamesians
in Irving's cast of characters, but Meany, Hestor the Molestor and that
Armadillo come close.

Too bad it doesn't appear to help them.

Somewhere along the way you may learn that life is not fair. Thank the good
Lord for the things you have and put some effort into helping those less
fortunate. Wipe those liberal, crocodile tears from your eyes. But since
you're a liberal, lip service and emoting are all you are capable of and all
you need to dampen your own feelings of guilt.

At least you're not blaming the poor girl's misfortune on George Bush - yet.
That poor girl probably got that way from the toxic environment you live in.
Car fumes, diesel smoke, grit, ozone, lead, sulphur, stress, EMF's - it's
all there. Are you going to raise your kid in your little apartment? What
will ever come of your vast home theater system?
