If God exists, then he is the one who is allowing these things to happen. So...the largest part of the blame should go to him.

Two things: First, He could only be morally culpable if he were unjust in allowing "these things" to happen.

Secondly, the fact that He allows "these things" to happen proves that God isn't a liar and is bringing his promise of the curse/penalty for sin to fulfillment, which in turn proves he's righteous.

You think He sits there guiding our every move?
He doesn't allow or forbid anything - we make those choices.
That's why we are here.

When you're God, death is not a bad thing.

Or, if He doesn't exist, none of it matters anyways.

You do not think that is why the FF put the 2nd amendment into the Constitution?

Are you suggesting that God is "justified" in his refusal to stop the killings of these kids...when it's in his power to stop such atrocities? If allowing the slaughter of kids is "just"...then, what do you consider UNJUST?

Well...the bible does say that "not a hair falls from our heads without God wishing it so...".

Enough then...this thread isn't about religion...

It should be about the societal decay that results in people thinking it's cool to go into a school and murder men, women, children, teenagers, etc.

Oh, that's right...it's the gun's fault...I forgot for a moment.

Get rid of the guns, get rid of the problem.

life is so simple, isn't it?

God is justified in fulfilling his curse promise due to sin; for there is no man who does not sin. Not even a righteous man can continue indefinitely in his righteousness and not sin (Eccl 7:20). How much more, then, the unrighteous?
