I'm not saying anything of the sort. Please don't put words into my mouth, it's very rude and downright annoying, please don't do it again. I'm not trying to defend "the secular world", I was pointing out that the causes of this couple's situation are irrelevant to the platitudes they were given in lieu of practical help. I don't know if they are or were receiving assistance of any kind from any non-religious source; this is not my story and I don't know any more details than you beyond what was presented here. However, would a non-religious source offer platitudes of a similar nature to the religious one? If the couple paid a visit to a Social Security office or whatever, and the officials working there told them to place their trust in some immaterial and frankly imaginary entity instead of giving them practical assistance and/or advice, then you can bet your bible I'd be criticising them in the same way.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
