I don't really get why people are using a thread on this to have yet another endless argument about religion. Focusing on one word in her statement over the anguish in her face seems pretty trivial at this point, IMO.

Concerning the never failing entrance of a debate on Christianity into this thread, consider that Sri Lanka is 69% Buddhist, 15% Hindu, 8 % Christian and 8 % Islamic. For all you know, she was invoking any of the numerous gods in both Buddhism or Hinduism, and that got lost in translation of her statement, especially if the photographer had no idea of who the god was whom she was invoking.Had she said, 'Why did Krishna let this happen?' would this thread even be here?
