3. Wish I was an atheist so I might be able to begin to understand this.

But an atheist I am not, so I will be praying for this man.

People die in car accidents every day

The odds of siblings being killed on the way to their mother's funeral are very low but not zero, eventually it would happen to someone.


This does not diminish the anguish this poor man must be feeling. I don't want to sound like I have some "That's The Breaks" attitude toward this. It is simply a fact that low probability events happen regularly.


Maybe believing in an Almighty being will help him through this. Maybe it will make him wonder why he is being punished by this being and maybe it will change his mind about this being's existence. Hell, maybe he already doesn't believe. I have no idea.

In any case it won't hurt to pray. The very worst that can happen is nothing.






P.S. I am agnostic
