A few comments...it's nice to see a thread where people are disagreeing and not attacking one another.
And, Gloves, I love your tag line.!
Okay, for me, I think the architect metaphor is really close, but for those of us that believe in God, and those that are more devout than I will ever be, we realize that carlie, and even our children, are God's children first, and they are gifts God has given us. As horrible as this sounds, she was called back to her heavenly father in the worst way a child can go, but even her last monents on earth were in pain and fear, faith tells us that where she is now is infinitely better than anyone of us could possibly imagine.
And her death in this manner could be a call to action for us to look into ourselves and find out what's truly important and valuable. How often do we stop and really learn about our neighbors, or get wrapped up in materialism and other things that are fleeting (like perk points). So, yes, I think there is meaning in her death, and not to exact our own desire for revenge, but to maybe to become better citizens, and more aware of those around us.
And No, I am not a Bible reader, just been through my own levels of hell, and "got on through to the other side
"
