I don't get that either - if it's God's will, then God
isn't a very nice person. I figure if God was really
that omnipotent and controlling, he'd never let anyone
do anything bad. Good people would never suffer.
Some people say it's God's will and others get all
pissed off about it and blame God - as far as i'm
concerned, if God is responsible for this, then who
would want to believe in God (which makes the whole
idea of things being God's will or God's fault kind of
redundant.) It's people that did this - evil people,
but merely people, apparently of their own free will.
