Meaning
In my opinion there is no religion able to give any meaning to events like yesterday's shootings. "To every season" really doesn't cut it. I can't imagine what it must be like to be constantly confronted by obvious signs that the universe is random, and needing to fit them all into my personal human-created belief system in order to preserve some sense that there is integrity and meaning to the universe, in the religious/teleological sense.
What solace would there be, really, in a religion that
could explain yesterday, why children go insane or a hundred other horrors any honest person could rattle off in fifteen minutes? Where would the comfort come in?
