Al,
You seem to think that religion is the only path to empathy...
I never said that.

Yeah, I get it. "How can a loving God allow tragic circumstances to happen?" It's an age-old question that has been asked for thousands of years and has been answered in many different ways.

Your line of argument is to deny that said loving God could ever exist, then just conclude that by default, these tragic circumstances are just the result of random chance.

I don't see how that takes any level of critical thinking. It's really easy to deny what is unseen or easily misunderstood, then arrive at a nihilistic conclusion like "Oh it must be random chance."

P.S. - Sorry if I didn't answer your questions directly. I'll save that for another time. Suffice to say that I'm just disarming your "critical thinking" portion of your argument.
