Who gives a shit about your sympathy? Can your sympathy provide what my wife prayed for? You wouldn't offer that phrase to someone in such horrible circumstances? Why, does the phrase become more or less true, more or less palatable depending on how much like an ass it makes someone feel when saying it?
God said no to my wife, by your estimation, did he not? What is it about the explanation you've offered (or any explanation ever offered by the faithful for anything whatsoever) that makes it so satisfying to say, and then so easy to retreat from when pressed? Fucking shithouse theology with it's trite response to genuine anguish and suffering. Nevermind, I don't give a fuck what you think your god said yay or nay to.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
