Some turned to the Bible for clues. Beliefnet member called Oracles wrote, "God does have His purpose and things don't just happen like this. What if someone very powerful were trying to send Mr. Bush a message? Ever hear of the <so>called] hidden codes in scripture?"
Others wrestled with the questionso frequently asked after 9/11 How could a loving God have allowed something like this to happen?
Some are attracted to a concept called "synchronicity." In popular culture, it was captured in the Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield, one of the best selling contemporary spiritual books. In intellectual and scholarly circles, it is reflected in the work of psychologist Carl Jung. Oversimplified, it is the view that coincidences have meaning events happen for a reason but that it is not a deity pulling the strings, but some collective human spiritual network.
In The NewsArik Bechar, foreign editor of the Israeli newspaper Maariv, mused, "The mystics will nod their heads and the skeptics will have to mobilize all their skepticism to convince people there was no hand of God in the accident; that in life there are cruel coincidences, even if they include Palestine, Texas and the first Israeli astronaut. But how can we explain the curse pursuing us across the length and breadth of the land these past few years, which pursued us to the limits of the atmosphere? Ilan Ramon was a victim of that same curse, which has turned the Israelis into a nation of paranoids. And who can blame them?"
One member, Noisefree, saw something else: "I cannot shake this feeling that, somehow, God sent us a message and particularly a message to Israel that they have abandoned Him in their desires to dominate the middle east, and in their persecution of the Palestinians. Is it just coincidence that this disaster should happen as the vindictive Ariel Sharon is reelected?"
Of course, many perhaps the majority believe that this was simply a horrible tragedy with no larger significance, but in a nation as religious as the United States, there is a substantial group that ascribes supernatural connections. In Beliefnet's highly unscientific poll, roughly a third of those responding believed it wasn't a coincidence.
And NjoyAADAirbrush absolved God and fingered the Devil. "God would NOT take the lives of these individuals; No Way. I serve a God of love, compassion and mercy; who is the LivingGodd. Satan is the god of the dead, and is the destroyer. Satan most likely had a hand in this."
At Morning Star Missionary Baptist Church in Spokane, Wash., hometown church of astronaut Michael Anderson, the Rev. Freeman Simmons speculated that God "permitted" the shuttle accident to get America's attention. "God works strange," Simmons said.
KDPeters's answer to that classic theological dilemma was that God's compassion was apparent on Saturday: "Let's talk miracle, okay? On Saturday, God chose to take the 7 lives abour the Columbia. Good took ONLY seven lives on Saturday. The Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex is very populated, yet no life was lost. I tell you, we witness a miracle that day. God loves us. This is not a coincidence."

Member ears2hear wondered about "encrypted messages from God," perhaps designed to give a president inclined toward war a "renewed sense of what I means to lose people you care about."
