Once upon a time...
People of Faith approached Peter and said, "God has looked favourably upon you and saved your life. Let's pray to God."
Peter responded, "If God favoured me to save my life, then why did 250 people need to die for me to live?"
The People of Faith answered by saying, "God saw that you had great things to do and give, so your life was worthy."
Peter responded, "There is nothing I can do in my life that justifies the death of those 250 people."
The People of Faith said, "God has his ways and reasons and we are not to question why."
Peter said, "If God could only 'show me the way' and save my life by sacrificing 250 other lives, then God is either unmerciful or God is not omnipotent. Furthermore, if I am to learn a lesson in my life, there is no more worthy lesson than that of mercy, compassion and tolerance. If you claim that God has caused this calamity, then this is a God I can't accept as my own."
[Instead of Peter, read Ahmed, Zvi, Ravi, etc]
