every single person I interviewed told me that the tragedy they had undergone pushed them to the wall with God. Sadly, each person also gave a devastating indictment of the church. Christians, they said, made matters worse. One by one, Christians visited their hospital rooms with pet theories.
God is punishing you. No, not God. It's Satan. No, it's God who handpicked you to give him glory.
It's neither God nor Satan. You just happened to get in the way of an angry mother bear.
As one survivor told me, the theories about pain confused me and none of them helped. Mainly, I wanted assurance and comfort from God and from God's people. In almost every case, the Christians brought more pain and little comfort.
