That lil baby survivor died this afternoon

[malaise]

They took her off life support. R.I.P. lil Angel.

[Kookaburra]

1. Heartbreaking

An entire family gone.

Just heartbreaking.

[malaise]

2. The parents were 21 and 20 and the oldest child was

four or five - really sad. I think there was a seven week old baby

[joeybee12]

3. Poor thing...I hope she passed peacefully...

RIP

[malaise]

4. She was on life support since the tornado

so hopefully she was in a coma -severe brain damage

[Logical]

5. Wow, a loving caring god allows this to happen. So confusing. n-t

[malaise]

6. We know better

Weather is just that weather and nature is not selective - just random.
Ignore the ratings morons who pander to the miracles.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

7. This is why I don't believe in a loving, caring God.

I just believe that God created the earth to be self sufficient and then stepped back and watches it like a soap opera.
It makes him less douchey. If he IS the god that so many believe in and prayers do reach him and he intervenes, why does He let certain people have miracles and others, more deserving not? I'd rather think that he's not able to intervene or doesn't exist to be perfectly honest.

8. Using a dead baby to slam religion. Classy.

So far I've seen this storm's victims used to score points on the midwest, conservatives, and now religion. I guess I shouldn't be surprised anymore, but I still am.

[Logical]

9. Wow, I am mad a baby is dead and you are upset at me because I upset....

your religious thoughts? Sounds like you are the issue, not me.

[Union Scribe]

13. FFS.

MY religious thoughts no more belong on the issue of this tragedy than YOURS do. The difference is I haven't expressed any, and your "anger" took the form of a shitty, snarky, low blow soapbox moment in an entirely inappropriate context. I seriously hope you aren't this tone deaf when dealing with people suffering a loss.

[Logical]

17. I hope you are not in the mode of using Gods will in cases like this either.

[malaise]

18. Well CNN sure promoted religious thoughts

on a weather event. Those who died were merely unlucky not ungodly.
That is Logical's point.

[demmiblue]

16. Your response sounded the opposite of mad.

It sounded like you wanted to make some sort of statement in light of something so awful.

[Honeycombe8]

23. I understood what the poster meant. It's a common expression: How could God have let this happen?

People say that all the time when a tragedy happens, esp. involving innocents.

Clearly, the poster was making an angry statement that is commonly made.

[pecwae]

20. A hatred hat trick.

No, the surprises never end.

[WilliamPitt]

10. Fail.

[Kurmudgeon]

19. At least she didn't meet a loving caring abortionist.

However, unlike your prejudicial post, odds are pretty good this will be locked by jury.
RIP Little one, at least you got to draw breath and you're with your mom and dad.
Such a tragedy.

[uppityperson]

21. Thank you EarlG, sincerely, thank you.

[cyberswede]

22. +1

MIR Team (EarlG) banned Kurmudgeon

[Arugula Latte]

25. Hallelujah! The Zealot is gone!

I piss on Kurmudgeon's DU grave!

[hifiguy]

31. That was a wise move. That poster was

a shit-stirrer of the first order.

[Starry Messenger]

24. +1000

I'm glad I hit TOS on the alert on that post. That was fast! Thank you EarlG.

[UnrepentantLiberal]

26. The best possible outcome.

I guess he'll be moving from West Virginia to Kansas soon.

[MineralMan]

30. Many thanks to EarlG!

Seeya, Kurmudgeon. So long. Bye-bye.

[UnrepentantLiberal]

27. I'm not religious but that was tastless and heartless.

If you had an ounce of tact in you you'd know that the death of a baby is not the time to argue religion.

[muriel_volestrangler]

28. Though the grandparents brought it up at once

"Angel has been reunited with her parents," her grandfather, Jack Brough, said in a statement. "We want to thank God for all of you and for your thoughts and prayers. God will bring you and all of us out of this. This is what it will take. All should look to God."

But how should we 'look to God'?

You can find numerous quotes from people thanking God for their survival. Worst of all is probably this Christian Post puff-piece:

Stories of God's Protection Emerge After Storms Leave 38 Dead

[UnrepentantLiberal]

29. Yes, I think that every time I hear someone thank God

for saving them from the monster. But when someone loses their daughter, their son in law, and their grandchildren in one weekend, they're welcome to say whatever they want about whatever deity they want. Anyone who can't see that has bugs in their head.

[teddy51]

12. That was very sad! Amazing she survived as long as she did considering. n/t

[malaise]

15. Not really - she was on life support

She had traumatic brain injuries.
