Worst. Theory. Ever.

Heh

[rgbecker]

1. Wrong God?

[Fred Sanders]

17. Yes. Most Texans worship Fox.

[PJMcK]

2. What does Ted Cruz know about anything? (n/t)

[Hav]

3. It's shameful that one would even make that argument

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.

5. I've thought that, too. When I used to believe, God was supposed to be omnipotent.

S/He's really been downgraded since those days.

[Nitram]

10. It is an argument meant to massage the egos of Evangelical right wing voters.

That's all.

[deurbano]

4. And what about when the shooter shoots up a church?

[Racerdog1]

6. This cockroach

Not even capable of forming a competent theory. Texas, rid yourselves of this plague.

[Amimnoch]

20. doing our best!

[calimary]

7. Gee - whooda thunkit?

[Mr. Ected]

8. The problem is assuredly not that we removed God from the public square

The problem is that Texans put Christian posers like Ted Cruz there in His place.

[northoftheborder]

9. yes

Exactly.

[Texin]

11. IF there is a god, Cruz & tRump et al will occupy the 9th level of hell.

I always suspected that the so-called evangelicals and the holy rollers were hypocrites and this has unequivocally proven that belief. They only cheapen themselves and the *god* they wrap themselves in their faux goodness.

[Scurrilous]

12. K&R

[ehrnst]

13. How does he explain the Amish School Shooting? (nt)

[zentrum]

14. Brilliant.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

15. Methinks the better correlation is to percent gun ownership.

The church I attended as a kid in the 50s and 60s made me less fearful of things, hence also less prone to want to own a gun.

Explain that one from your pulpit, Mr. Cruz...... .......

[Initech]

16. It's time for them to stop this talking point.

What "public square" are they referring to? This isn't the 1950s anymore. You can preach on a street corner all you want, doesn't mean that anyone is going to listen to you.

[LakeArenal]

18. That poor weak god of Cruz's

Can’t stop the godless schools from killing our kids.

Not enough strength for smiting!?!

[lunatica]

21. Almighty and powerful god needs help dontcha know

Can’t do everything and be everywhere ALL the time...

Oh wait! What?

[lunatica]

19. Unfortunately you have to be aware that there's a whole world

past our borders to get that concept.

Everything the Republicans blame youth gun violence on also exists in full measure in all those other countries, yet they don’t have school shootings. Video games, violent movies, all of it.

[Uncle Joe]

22. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread Soph.
