In the Name of God

They do this in the name of God?

How could they think their God would approve of this?

But how could that same God take my mother and father from me?

I Heard Only Silence

My Mom was a little religious, my Dad not at all.

So when she was killed--and my Dad was left in a coma--I didn't have a strong foundation of faith to turn to.

By the time my father was killed--then so many of my friends--all I had left to turn to was anger. It was easier than believing in a God who had let that happen.

But anger solved little and when the world was in crisis--

--I prayed.

I heard only silence.

So I confessed my sins...and realized I had none.

How could someone who tried so hard to be good--did so much for so many people--be asked to endure so much?

...God works in mysterious ways...
