And you would have gotten nowhere. This is some weepy story that sounds good. Never mind that it's no doubt a pile of excrement. It reminds me of a similar tale someone sent me in an email. This involved some kids playing baseball and there was a disabled kid who wanted to play. The other kids didn't want to have this disabled kid on their team, but they let him bat. The kid managed to put the bat on the ball and hit a little dribbler. Well, the kids in the field intentionally misplayed the ball and allowed the kid to circle the bases and score the "winning run"! The kids all felt good about themselves and obviously God" was responsible for all this! The intent here was no doubt to make you feel teary eyed about how wonderful "God" is and how he works in our lives. My immediate thought was, "So 'God' inflicted a disability on this kid so these other kids could feel good about themselves?"
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
