"Activist pierced by bullet, 'blessed' by God"

This is a headline on the Baltimore Sun's website. If "god" really existed and really "blessed" someone, I would think that he or she would have prevented the woman from being hit by the bullet in the first place. I'm waiting for the day when an injured person faces the cameras and says, "I blame god for causing me to be shot by that criminal!" How refreshing would that be?!

With all the churches in Baltimore, and all the self-proclaimed religious people, why aren't people looking around and saying, "Hmmm, maybe all this praying, singing and tithing to a mythical being isn't the way to go. Maybe we need to stop having prayer vigils and start doing something about crime. Maybe we need to have citizens' patrols, maybe we need to spend time with our young people, maybe we need to clean up the trash around our houses, maybe we need to take responsibility for our actions and be good role models, maybe we need to support our teachers and police officers, etc., etc.
