AFA's Bryan Fischer: God Didn’t Stop CT Shooting Because We Took Prayer Out Of Classroom

Another shining example of the utter shamelessness of the "conservative values" crowd

Christian radio host Bryan Fischer took to his American Family Association radio show this afternoon to say that God didn’t stop the horrific Connecticut elementary school shooting spree because he does not go “where he is not wanted.”

Fischer made the case that, in his mind, God would have protected the shooting victims had there been a system of school prayer and a respect for the Ten Commandments in public classrooms.

“Where was God when all of this went down?” Fischer began. “Here’s the bottom line: God is not going to go where he is not wanted.”

He explained: “We’ve spent 50 years telling God to get lost. Telling God we do not want you in our schools. We do not want to pray to in our schools. We do not want to pray to you before football games. We do not want to pray to you before graduation…. We don’t want your word read in our schools.”

Truly, fuck him. And anyone who feels the same way he does.

If God would allow the deaths of 20 innocent children just because "prayer was taken out of school" then he is a cruel God, indeed. Fuck Bryan Fischer's God, too.

If all these school shootings are a result of "God" being taken out, then why did God allow the shooting at the Amish school in 2006? I'm sure they prayed there.

Some people really make me sick.

Don't even talk about what happened in my state today unless it is to offer words of comfort.

And if what he says is true, wouldn't that make his god a monster without compare?

Seriously, letting 20, five year old children die because of a policy they had nothing to do with? Any being that would do that would be a monster. Any person that would worship that being is disgusting.

2x4. Sideways. With rusty nails stuck in it.

You insensitive asshole.

More people have died in the name of God than just about any other reason.

Nor could he have done a more effective job of making Christianity look bad.
