That is not quite what I said.

I completely agree. Belief in god is a choice. I choose to err (for lack of a better phrase) on the side of reason.

Oh, yes. Of course god will compensate for terrible pain and loss that is ultimately pointless, given that he could have stopped it, theoretically.

There is no explanation for loss, apart from "that is life."
