Do you think that's in any way similar to the attitude of people who are phlegmatic about suffering
Stop. Right there.
I don't know anybody who is phlegmatic about suffering. Whether because of their belief in god or gods or for any reason whatsoever.
Perhaps you do. Not saying you don't.
But I don't. So I could only hypothesize about such people's attitudes in the most speculative, hypothetical way.
Should such people exist, I would have to get to know what it is they actually think and feel to be able to answer your question about similarity.
It is also possible that there are people out there that you are projecting phlegmaticness about suffering onto, because of your forced-choice belief system, which I describe below, in which one must either get blameful, resentful and angry about tragedy or not feel anything at all.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
