(5,969 posts)What is it supposed to mean? That the omnipotent creator of the universe was rendered powerless within the school building? That the loving creator either lets it or makes these tragedies happen out of spite ("You make decisions I don't like, I kill your kids as punishment" )?
It's either one of these two scenarios but whatever you choose, your God is either weak, indifferent, petty or in the worst case a psychopath.

Everything the Republicans blame youth gun violence on also exists in full measure in all those other countries, yet they dont have school shootings. Video games, violent movies, all of it.
