Earlier today there was an Amber Alert for an 11-month old. Within two hours, the child was found dead, mother in custody.
What is bothering me are the comments: god had a plan, at least she’s with the lord, she’s an angel now, god needed another angel, this world needs prayer...
I know people are trying to deal with this senseless tragedy, but these comments turn my stomach.
Yep, I am with you. 24 carat bullshit. A child - an infant - was murdered. I'm confident that was not the plan of god for that infant (not that I believe there is a god, just saying). All of that bullshit attempt to erase the fact that the infant was murdered.
And there’s no way to ease it but grief and time....the religious delustion and their platitudes do harm, imho.
I used to take it on myself to expose the sick logic of these people, but it seems cruel..they are deluded, and probably don't know what else to say.
Still, sometimes I can't take it and make a comment, which almost invariably gets attacked by the outraged alt-right.
I have noticed that with many tragedies you will always find attention seekers trying to make it all about them. Why anybody would think that the family of someone who was a victim of a tragedy would have nothing better to do than read a bunch of comments from random strangers is bizarre. If a tragedy happened to a member of my family, the internet would be the last thing on my mind, much less anybody's random opinion. Unless you're actually contributing to a fund to bury the poor thing, what use are a bunch of empty platitudes? But pretending that all babies that die head immediately for heaven - what kind of a god needs to warehouse dead babies and why? If he needed another angel, why did he have to kill a baby to get an angel? Are all angels sourced from dead babies, or have other, fully functional adult angels been created in the past? And what about the other side - what does Satan do when HE needs another angel? Hmmmm. Of course, ask any of these questions to the fool commenters, and watch them turn on you like a pack of rabid hyenas.
Well said!
My what a shit filled attitude.....a baby is murdered, and you might as well say, thoughts and prayers, cause not a damn thing will bring the baby back,
