    Does anyone else kinda feel like it’s gross to praise God after witnessing such an atrocity?

    Would you ask for humans to come and help in that situation? Humans are committing the bombings. Humans are sending the weapons. Humans are rationalising all this as in some way ‘acceptable’.

    There’s no one else to ask to intercede, except for some kind of higher being. Humans are not helping.

      She isn’t asking for help, though. Assuming the translation is accurate and that it’s not a turn of phrase or something, she’s saying current situation God has given her is sufficient.

      Like I said, I understand turning to religion in that kind of a situation, but an implicit “thank God” just seems inappropriate.
