So don't use it as such. Most of these theological answers help the
spectator, not the subject, or they help the person before the crisis
comes, i.e. they are pre-crisis innoculation/vaccination. But as
on-the-spot cures, they don't help. Most "answers" for the Holocaust
help the descendants far more than the survivors themselves.
