"Devil's work"

The tragic death of local football legend Steve McNair brings this reaction from his grieving mother: "I don't want to know,'' Lucille McNair said in a telephone interview from her home in Mount Olive, Miss.. "Because the way I see it, it was the devil's work and not God's work.''

A mother's grief at such a moment must be inconsolable, and I wouldn't want to deny her, or anyone, the attempted consolation of religious solace.

But really, now. Humans do "devil's work," and Ms. McNair believes God created humans. The buck stops where?
