What a rude, and offensive thing to say.
- jigneshg 13y agoI am not rude against GOD and i am not complaining. Here i was trying to express my views as i seen many-time that good people are suffering and bad people are enjoying !
- PavlovsCat 13y ago"God and his punishments" == "bad things that happen, life being unfair" etc.? I read this as someone trying to give their condolences the best way they know how, according to their beliefs, in a language that is not their native tongue.
- YoukaiCountry 13y agoThat's what I see, too. I don't think this person deserves the anger. They were trying to be nice.
- pstack 13y agoAgreed. I don't think the sentiment intended was reflected in the words of their post.
- Udo 13y agoI reread what he wrote and I have to say on reflection you're probably right and my first reaction was probably too harsh. However, there is something wrong with expressing sympathies for a person's death by saying something that amounts to "yeah, that's because my imaginary FRIEND punished him". It implies the dead person was killed by an all-knowing supernatural force as a response to a transgression.
