And not to equate this story with, say...the tragedy of 9/11 - but a lot of people seem to be questioning god's existence since that day, too.

Like the Metaman dude just finished telling you.... God gave us free will. I don't sit here watching all the tragic events and evil doings in the world and blame a God I don't believe in for "allowing" it to happen.
Free will means the blame for the shitty actions of humans lies with humans. Period. The argument that "if God exists why does he allow such bad things to happen" just isn't a valid one, because it's not up to him to prevent crime or put magic domes over our cities and protect us from hurricanes and floods.
And for all the sputtering being done on this board about the nonexistance of God not one person has ever posted anything other than pure opinion one way or the other. No solid irrefutable proof, just opinion.
That's why I keep my personal beleifs to myself.
