re: How do you comprehend/rationalize the death of a child?

Some people in this thread might find your disgust in the idea that their faith helped them cope with tragedy more offensive than what you find offensive, but you seem like the type of guy that doesn't care about that, so carry on.

I will not argue with those people who find solace in that type of reasoning. Who am I to correct them of that? If I shatter their worldview on something they've found peace with, then I'm just simply an a-hole.

But I will say how it has affected me, and that quote has made me very angry when it comes to my friend. I think it is a simply piss poor decision for anyone to tell someone that God planned for them to die. Sure some may find solace in that, but I guarantee you most won't, and you will upset them by saying that. Saying they're in heaven is fine, but to say a deity on a whim or plan decided to horribly kill your child, that's horribly insulting to many.
