People die in fires every year. Should we get rid of fire departments? After all, they don't help those victims of fires no matter how "successful" they claim to be.

But God isn't like the fire department? God is perfect, and the fire department isn't? Look around - God made this world of imperfection. Struggling against imperfection is the Divine Plan. You either have to accept that, or throw out God altogether. As Jesus said, "obstacles there must be."

Besides, how many people would have been killed under different conditions? I'm not just talking about having his rifle jam. What about those people who saved their loved ones with their own lives? Did the shooter see those acts of self-sacrifice? Did the shooter's SOUL experience the impact of that self-sacrifice? If so, did it affect his mind? Did it make him hesitate? Did it make him afraid? Did it have a more supernatural effect, and help overheat his rifle and jam it?

Some people think such connections are fantasies. But that's okay, I think a lot of people are fantasies themselves, so we're even.

tell us do you honestly believe that:

“It would appear that He withdrew His protection for all those victims.”

is that the entire depth and breath of your analysis?

How about the three gentlemen who willingly and courageously gave up their own lives to save their girlfriend's lives?

Did you ever hear the verse that starts: Greater love hath no man...”

Just what the heck do you think it is referring to?

Have you ever seen the play “Steambath” - if so do you really believe God is a Puerto Rican steam bath attendant?
