42. Un-effin-believeable...well, almost.

Tue Dec 18, 2012, 12:13 PM

Dec 2012

It never ceases to astound me how these hypocrites use anything and everything to promote their hatred of any segment of society that dares to be different from them. Dares to not fall right in line with their tyrranical beliefs and outbursts.

That said, I am a believer. And my God was in that school. He was there in the hearts of those teachers who saved the children they were able to save. He was there with the little boy who ran past the shooter and survived. He was there with the brave principal who confronted the shooter.

Why did He allow the shooting to happen? I don't know the answer to that. Mock me for that if you like.

Do you have to believe like I do? Heck no. I'm comfortable with every person having their own faith, or having no faith. It is an individual's choice, and I hope DU will respect my choice to believe. No one has to be a mirror image of me for me to call that person "friend".

But I marvel at those "believers" like Dobson who say God was not in that school. To me, THEY are the ones who have no faith in what they believe.
