And I believe that our responsibility is to find our own forgiveness and restoration while we are alive, and to help others find the same, not to hasten them towards a meeting with their maker.

As for horrible things happening to my family: Well, our family has had more than its share of tragedy, though thankfully not a murder. So I'll thank you not to assume how I might react to it. Being a Christian is about recognising the right thing to do, and then calling on divine strength in order to do it. Still, when bad things have happened, I am glad to say I was adult enough to recognise that it was a good thing that it was not my responsiblity to meet out retribution/punishment/whatever.
Peace

And just to let you know I'm a Christian too.
