From earthquakes to terrorism

Heh, well it just goes to show you that you can't be safe anywhere. As much as we try to build up our little world and pretend that we're in control the truth is we never are. That truck is coming for you when it's time and that's it. And you'll be gone like that little bug you squished the other day, perhaps not even noticing.

I am beginning to realize that faith can come from utter helplessness and a need for some sense of reason and security. So when no one can offer that where do you turn? Why, to the sky of course.

This would also explain why it is dangerous to take faith (and unfortunately religion) away from people. They will look for it elsewhere and sadly find it in the worst places.
