Passover is not about dead children

You may have heard people talking about how "bad" Passover is! They will tell you that "God kills children," and this is one of those times in which such happened. This is a myth! God never kills anyone! Most deaths are due to the devil or the person's fault! No, I am not victim -blaming here. It is merely a fact that many of the things that happen to us are somewhat caused by us, and, no, this is not victim -blaming. Western logic makes this difficult! Western logic demands that there be blame on somebody even if you cannot prove that what happened was even bad! Western logic is all about causes! Reality is not! Reality is about relationships! Think quantum! Causality doesn't exist there! And you can't call God guilty, because guilt implies truth, and you can't have truth without an Holy Book, but if you get rid of a Deity, then, you have no way to apply guilt, and also you have nobody to apply guilt to, since you are blaming God. And also, so you really believe that it is all that good to be so small and helpless? I do not say that what happened was good, but we live in a fallen world, where moral options are not always possible! So, instead of blaming God, you can weep for the loss of innocence, and the destruction of the world that brings such about! Passover remembers that!
