I don't believe biblical verse is solace for the families of the nine

OOps, that's where you're wrong. Their faith is (and the biblical verse that goes along with it) is exactly what comforts them.


But, some will never understand. And for those who wish to question, that verse I posted is of of the most read at Christian funerals.

Once again, why are so many praying to a supposedly omniscient entity
who lets little children die/suffer from dread diseases and who allows
nine decent people to be shot down at their house of worship? Because
they think there is an afterlife, a concept sold to them by other men
for thousands of years?

Is that all there is?

No, it's much more than that. Here's a pretty comprehensive link that gives good answers, and I really doubt if you'll read it, but I'll post it anyhow.

These are nothing more than rationalizations to spread and perpetuate
religious belief and explain away why "god" doesn't intervene. When most
of the world was living in abject poverty, along comes religion to make
the suffering feel better because after their certain death, there was
another life of plenty.

Bull****.

Hey, if people want to take solace in mythology and in passages written
long ago by *men* to help promulgate a religion, that's just fine, so
long as those myths and "rules" don't find their way into controlling
access to health care and all the hundreds of other areas in which "the
religious" want to impact on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

And if it supposedly did what would you do about it, start a riot? Fire up gas chambers? firing squads?

It isn't "supposedly." Conservatives who claim to be christian are doing
whatever they can to push their religious beliefs onto society. I
wouldn't do anything violent to them, but I think it would be nice if
they would form their Muslim, er, Christian State of America, and move
there so their mullahs, er, fundamentalist pastors and priest, can rule
their lives. Texas would be a great place for them...it's really big.
Once all the fundie christian sects are there, they can begin shooting
each other, as they have done so often in the past, eh?

Well you're always saying things like "Thats fine, just as long as they dont push..."

So in such a case as the religious "pushing" their beliefs, or "cramming" it down peoples throats ( if any of that's even possible) What do you do about about it?

Speak out against it, support organizations that legally fight religious
and conservative bigotry in the courts and in the court of public
opinion, don't vote for candidates who support pushing fundamentalist
religious ideas onto society, that sort of thing.

You do that anyway, don't you Harry?
