This is not a football game

Tragedy has struck.two young local guys are dead.i knew both of them but cant honestly say i was their best friend. The entire town is in mourning,this is the awesome part of a small town.
  The funeral for one was today and the next one tomorrow. People that didnt have the time to say hello a week ago are suddenly their best friends and are loudly proclaiming how they will never forget.it is just sad that they didnt take the time to express their emotion while they were still alive.but this is human nature and has to be excused.
  I have some bitter experience with this but you eventually learn to forgive people.its just sad how we fight to be their best friend.after their dead.i didnt go to either funeral nor visitation simply due to the fact i am a chicken.after my own experience with some one close to me i just dont have the guts to face death when it happens so young.
  But on to my point.these two young men were drinking beer when this tragedy happened.and it didnt take long for the first murmerings to start boiling to the surface.
  Human beings taking it upon themselves to judge other human beings.
  Just hearing the story on the street and passing judgement.without knowing these guys.without knowing how it went for them in their last moments.without knowing how they lived their live.just cold hard judgement.
  Now unfortunately this is most rampant among the local amish and Mennonite people.i had the opportunity to fully experience this when my brother was killed in a car accident about exactly 4 years ago.and its hard to take.
  Why do us humans think that such a supreme being as God actually need our help in judging someone?is it because we think what "good" people we are that we are just one notch below God?i rest my case.
  This is not a football game.God does not need our help in the replay booth.so pray and just try to live your life a little better.
  And thats all i have to say about that.
