I apologize for the term 'did your parents talk too you about the yet'. It is uncalled for. I don't think you guys are in a position to tell me about the responsibilities of God, you don't even think he exists! In a sense, mathematically, God is responsible for 'killing' those plane crash victims. But to be angry, or speak poorly of the father quoted in the papers is foolish and offensive. Every one dies. I don't believe there is such a thing as a life cut short. Too think about it as such is dangerous. That is just what I think.
Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion, but you guys are not in a position to understand the potential nature of gods. So when you rudely question and misunderstand what god represents to people that think it exists, it comes across as infuriating. I think a big part of god is the constuction of the systems. Death is a necessary part of the system of life. God made the system that made life possible, so to blame him for death, like some murderous human, is fickle and naive.
I think that is pretty deluded itself.
You know not what the man on the TV meant. I don't think you should put words in his mouth.
Again, I am sorry that I am not being more polite. It is just a very offensive spectacle.
Thank you for listening.

You are right, I think it highly improbable that god exists. However, even if he does, then I would not worship such a capricious and vain being.
Every time somebody " thanks god " for being saved or for somebody they know being saved when others perish deserves any comment thrown at them in my book.
You say we are infuriating for questioning god's existence...too bad....you infuriate us for peddling superstition, including creationism.
I am not putting any words in the father of the survivor's lips..I don't need to, I simply quote what he said and I repeat he is deluded. Deluded because his daughter's survival was simply an example of extreme good fortune and not as a result of divine intervention and deluded in believing in god's existence anyway.
You don't need to apologise, we have pretty tough skins on this site.
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
