Blame myself? Did I set the house on fire? No, I'm pretty sure I didn't. I was just at the lowest point of my life and needing help and then my house burns down and my pets all die. Yeah, that's totally my fault. Oh I guess that wasn't the lowest point of my life, clearly I could go lower.

I guess I could still go lower, really. About six feet lower if you catch my drift.

If your beloved pets died in the fire I do imagine you did not set the house on fire yourself (believe it or not some people will, intentionally and not). But obviously someone did.

There are many reasons a fire can start, faulty electrical systems, lightening, etc. etc. it is not 'obvious' that anyone set the fire.

DiscardedWhisper - I'm sorry for your loss. I lot my home and had a pet die in a fire last summer and it is truly tough. I hope that you have people who can help you through this, and life gets easier for you.

The dog is not dead but it is only asleep.

I said I'm not sure if god exists or not just like you did in your first post. Let's be thankful there's "know-it-all" atheists in this thread to tell us everything.lol

Because jabs like this really contribute to the topic at hand.

DicardedWhisper. Ignore those who are blaming you for what happened. By no account is it your fault. The situation was not in your hands and I doubt there was anything you could do to prevent it. Whether it was a higher power, faulty electricity, anything; Do note that it's not your fault. I really do not know what some of the others expected you to do, I would hope that the animals did not feel the pain. As that would be a horrid way to go.

this is the same God that allows a believer, in spite of their faith, to have the same chance of catching hypothermia as an atheist if the two were to stay outside in subzero temperatures....

This God is probably not as active in human affairs, if at all. This God may be accessed on a personal level, but he is not your personal butler in heaven, out to bend nature to make you happy... after all, he would violate too many laws of physics, biology, chemistry, etc.
