Been thinking about this tweet since I saw it yesterday: would definitely say it helps when I’m seriously ill, going through romantic strife, under work pressure etc. But not grief: that’s actually far harder to cope with than when I flirted with agnosticism. https://twitter.com/jessbrammar/status/1122093761058750464 …

I recently read a piece about a very young Christian couple who drowned together and a quote from their church said, “This is hard for us to understand but I guess God wanted them home etc.” And I just thought - their family, even in faith, how do you get your head around that.

Horrendous, how do you even begin to try to overcome to enormous sense of total injustice

Yes, the senselessness of good people going is my stumbling block too, & it would bother me less if I believed in a random universe.

Yes and (I said in response to
@jessbrammar too) I’ve seen people going through grief who have been, on top of that, devastated by their lack of comfort in/from their faith. Including people who really do believe in a Plan and can’t cope with the fact that it includes their loss. -
(I’ve been thinking about it this weekend too! It’s a shame so many militant atheists jumped on it and were horrible/defensive because I found it a really interesting question/prompt)

That's such an important point, thank you. I had a very strong spirituality until a couple of devastating things happened. I fought losing it, but my spirituality did in the end just go. It was slow, but it did leave. Perhaps it will return, who knows.
