Unfortunately some people equate the subject with religion and nothing else. Thus when something bad happens some lose their religious belief as what has happened does not equate with the type of God their religion has brought them up to believe in. A simple 'God works in mysterious ways' will not suffice. If God exists we would all like the chance to know him/her/it I'm sure. How you try and do that, if you bother to, is your business. Fact is if you did know him you would probably need to lie down for a while. You don't need a religion to look though, IMO. Ever wonder why we have the ability to admire a sunrise or a sunset?
