29. For some reason, this really bugs me this time.

Maybe because this atrocity occurred during the holiday season.

And, of course, because of the small children.

What did those kids know of the 'prayer in the schools' controversy? What did they know about the political charges about the 'secularization' of American society?

Yet, the Jesus of the Facebook images I 'get' to see of him putting his arms around the little children are accompanied by exhortations to pray for these innocent victims.

I just don't know how else to express it: just where was this omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent Jesus/god when the perpetrator was firing off his Bushmaster with its 90 round magazine?

Where?

For the likes of Dobson or Huckabee to be making judgements about America when they cannot answer this simple question is just plain revolting.
