Thank You God......

There are 1000s of these stories world wide every day. How in the world can anyone believe a loving caring GOD would ever allow this to happen? No person I know would allow this to happen if they would snap their fingers and stop it. Yet GOD apparently does not give a shit! Unbelievable.

Richmond girl, 3, dies after becoming entangled in jump rope

RICHMOND, Mo. | A 3-year-old northwest Missouri girl has died after becoming entangled in a jump rope tied to the top of a playground slide at a housing complex.

Richmond Police Chief Chad Burnine says officers were called just after 5 p.m. Monday and found the girl unresponsive and not breathing. She was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Burnine says it appeared other children tied the rope to the top of the slide so they could pull themselves up from the bottom. He calls the death a tragic accident that was still being investigated Tuesday.

Or maybe their parents needed punished by god. Or since only the good die young, she was very good. Or maybe god just gets bored sometimes and wants to stir the pot. Sick bastard.

but the ignorant masses that do believe can go through life seeing this type of thing and saying "god works in mysterious ways" or "it was just her time". Really? A 3 year old?

But you know, there's all kinds of rationalizations for why this precious 'god' thing does or doesn't do anything. Logic plays no part in any of it.
