Totally agree. And can you imagine being the person whose racket broke and killed her? Whether you did something wrong or not, you'd always feel responsible for her death. At least, I would.

Because it's " part of the plan, and it was challenging at first, and it tested my faith. I even asked 'y u do dis god?' and then I learned something something god is glorious n such"

Something similar (but maybe not quite as tragic) is why my wife and mother-in-law lost their religion. My MIL was catholic, and initially tried to raise my wife as such. But my wife was really painfully sick for years as a child. Basically all of her elementary school years were spent either in pain or unconscious. She doesn’t even remember most of her childhood. Watching her go through it and not being able to do anything to help was what caused my MIL (and by extension, my wife) to lose religion. Because what kind of benevolent god would intentionally inflict that on a child?

Hey now, daughter is singing psalms in heaven right at this very moment!

Or she's in hell of course.

I don't understand why people click these things. They're specifically designed to sell to you via advertising, and the byproduct is making you upset

Just... don't

I'm very suspicious of this story, myself. Somebody hit that little girl with the racquet.

It was an act of God

Yes. Then exited and tore through a six inch wooden beam.

Based on the article, I gather that the racket shattered during play and the aluminum shaft was launched with enough force to impale her through her skull. The momentum behind tools like that is pretty significant and the cross-sectional area of a badminton racket shaft is very small. An adult skull is only around 6-7mm thick. Given she was a young child with a relatively thin, soft juvenile skull, I can see how it could impart enough force to shatter through thin bone if everything lined up perfectly.

Given it was a group of children playing, I wouldn't be surprised if the kids were also trying to smash the shuttlecock as hard as possible.

That was a lot of fucked up analysis. I'm going to go hug my cat and wife now.
