We can excuse this "godly" behavior pretty easily. although it seems that gods dont exist... this was part of some bizzare greater good... Kinda like what Satan does is also part of Yhwh's plan. The King of Demons is not cruel.

God, Satan, and/or Yhwh do not exist. The tragedy that happened to this poor girl was just part of the random physical element of life. She was born with a heart defect that caused her to collapse. I had a close friend (also a devout Christian) die in the same way a few years ago, leaving behind a wife and a new baby. It's just part of life -- both good and bad exist. It would be absurd to blame such things on a nonexistent entity.

Maybe she did bad in the eyes of Yahweh.

Perhaps it is a sign that humans should not Tweet (can't help but remember the Life of Brian).

Defective heart, kind of hard to say, but not likely she went instantly. I wonder if she realized the irony as she was slipping away.

Ironically...

Very true. God uses Satan's plans to further glorify Himself in the end. She is in a better place now.
