Anyway thanks to those who were supportive, I'm off break now gotta please the bossman.
What sort of timescale are we talking here? The guy lost his mother not more than two hours ago. Right now he's bleeding inside. Discussions like that aren't even the last thing he needs right now.
Later on, when time has healed and all that, that's when you can play it by ear. Whatever you do, don't even try to invoke his loss with whatever you find yourself discussing in a theological context. It's been four years and counting for me; should anyone even think about using my Sam as a debating pawn, I've already murdered them in my mind a dozen different ways. If he wants to make that connection, let him and then go with whatever arguments you think are relevant.
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.'
