I may have said something similar already...
That tragedy, like so many others, resonates so powerfully it almost makes me wish I believed in a heaven for the victims, and a hell for the perpetrator..

Yes, Tal, it would be nice if religion were a comfort and nothing else. But, as I mentioned to you elsewhere the other night, too often religion leads to the justification and acceptance of scapegoating, punishment by proxy, original sin, and the visitation of the sins of the fathers unto an arbitrary generation. Scapegoating is, of course, the root of the Massacre in Montreal: 'Gee, my life is really shitty. Who can I blame it on? . . .'

Well of course I would prefer to believe in heaven/hell without any religion involved.
It would be more of a karmic thing, I suppose, in which one's reward/punishment is directly proportionate to one's own acts, and for which one is wholly responsible.
Scapegoats need not apply...
I hasten to assure you I don't believe in any such thing.
