Congratulations, sir. You have brought me the closest I've ever come to personally and deeply insulting someone on the internet, never mind this forum.
If that girl had lived, she might have gone on to raise twice or thrice that much money. She might have inspired more people raise even more money on top of that.
Don't give anyone that "big picture" bullshit. It shows a blatant disregard for human life and its true sanctity. I can only attribute that to a sick religion that worships the dead more than life itself.

Just more proof of what a bunch of sick, lazy, arseholes some xtians are (and their god-boy to boot) xtians have made so much money on the misery of others you really are scraping the bottom of the barrel here c-rod with your 'big picture' shit.
The "big -Picture" buddy is that the universe doesn't care about you nor your reasoning, nor your god-boy.
I, like Summer Queen, find your "humanistic" views disturbing and lacking in the morals that you xtians delight in accusing atheists of.

"If that girl had lived, she might have gone on to raise twice or thrice that much money. She might have inspired more people raise even more money on top of that." Kind presumption. She is dead and her story and action revolve around her generosity at a young age and the result of her death made her action greater.
Are you mad because im happy with what she did do while she was alive(she is dead, nothing i can do about that) or because she is no longer alive and you wish she was?

Can't speak for Summer, but I'm angry that you would imagine that her death was better for her charity than her life would have been. A person breathing does more good, end off.

How do mean? Her death as tragic and horrible it is for the family, still happened and as a result, a beautiful thing happened.
How do you view the circumstance?

Yes, i agree but she did die. I can not help but see it from this view because of her death. Big picture does not mean that everything will be better but that everything no matter how terrible has, purpose or some good.
If there is no big picture, no purpose, than everything is irrelevant, and any action is that of itself, for itself(feelings).
I find hope in her action and because she is no more, i find that a kind, generous, caring child like that is in heaven.

Yep, it's all irrelevant. What a terrifying thought. Maybe some day you'll be able to handle this all by your one-sies without invoking ghosts.

it seems to me a lot of christians find death more usful because they have all faith in God and none in mankind. That's a pity. More when I'm out of class.
