Like somebody pointed out before (as many others have in the past), it is
the use of religion for physical /recovery/. It is religion that caused
much of the physical /damage/, namely the lives of innocent people in the
first place.
To those who believe in God you could pose the challenging question: "If God
chose to kill these people, why would _God_ choose to save the life of
others?"
