God is crying with us? Come on… have you seen him recently. God is for people that are too afraid of the alternative… ie. there is nothing but us here. People endure a lifetime of suffering and put up with their raw deal in the faith that the afterlife is better. People blow themselves up for the promise of eternal life. If those same people focused on the hear and now and truly made the world a better place then I for one would have more faith in human nature.

Bear in mind the concept of god was thought up when people thought the world was flat and believed in mystical creatures and witches.

I think you are missing the real story here… for 90 minutes the company let the families think the 12 were alive while the fact checked the error… i mean that all I hear about this, how evil the company was for “sitting” on this information… not that it isn’t an expected response… “what, we heard they were alive… their dead… oh shit… double check this because i don’t want to announce 12 dead after we though they were alive and find out some are alive” That would seem too reasonable, no the comapny is evil and did it on purpose.

Why are these 90 minutes news, yet no one is covering the conditions that led to the disaster in the first place? Have we made no technology advances that could be used to prevent this? Have they been made, and are just not in use? It just seems hard to buy that these mines are run the same as they were 60 years ago. Why ask those questions though, there is a miralce to cover! I think I see the virgin mary’s face in my boot print…

Actually, against all odds- randy managed to somehow stay alive. I think that does constitute a miracle. I mean, there was nothing really in the favor of ANY of those miners to survive- and yet one did. As far as him being a vegetable for the rest of his life, no one knows that yet. The doctors don’t have any idea what the extent of his injuries will be…
In response to your bitterness toward God, I’m sorry that something or someone somewhere in your life has hurt you so deeply. And I know that it is hard for many people to believe that God can be loving and merciful when so many terrible things happen in our world. The thing is, we live in a world full of sin- whether it is our own sin or someone else’s. And the consequences of sin is bad things happening, sometimes to people who don’t seem to deserve it at all. And I really think that God cries with us when those terrible things happen, and I think that he gets angry right along with us too- angry at the sin that has caused so much turmoil.
One of those miners was a family member of mine, and it is a painful experience to be sure, but getting mad at God doesn’t make it any better. At some point, everyone has to die. Death is part of life.
I hope that you are able to find healing and happiness. Bitterness has a way of eating you alive. I know, I’ve been there before and it took several years for me to stop hurting. It’s no way to live.
