How we emerge from tragedy can make a difference for good, however. Eloquent! Experience does make for better understanding sometimes. theyareAs Posted at 11:20 am on July 10, 2009 I totally agree, but its when people abuse their faith systems that it gets on my nerves LogicandReason Posted at 11:13 am on July 10, 2009 Quote: from Forever Angel at 11:06 am on July 10, 2009 No, the tragedy itself is not.

Tragedy is good? What makes you inquire that? Tragedies help a person rekindle his faith, and thereby he feels closer to God.

I think faith is merely an abstract way to show that there is an inviolable believe system. But God exists regardless of whether a person lives with faith or not. Sergio1193 Posted at 10:31 am on July 10, 2009 yep youre right, thats why we should believe in whatever faith we have.. BUT to a certain extent, not letting that faith controling our lives nor our ways of thinking.. melodramatic Posted at 10:31 am on July 10, 2009 Well-put. I have a faith system that helps me through things as well. JackieisBlue Posted at 10:30 am on July 10, 2009 Very well expressed. Catzcore Posted at 10:25 am on July 10, 2009 who?
