If the shooter confesses, finds God then he gets to go but not his non Christian victims, I guess.

From the link:

"People say ... where was God in all of this? We've threatened high school graduation participations, if they use God's name, they're going to be jailed ... I mean that kind of stuff. Where was God? What have we done with God? We don't want him around. I kind of like his protective hand being present."

At what point in history was god's protective hand ever present

The "prince of Aurora" won another battle over human souls. There is no announcement whether the prosecution will seek the death penalty. Yes, if James Eagen Holmes, the alleged gunman, did actually commit the offence, repents and makes restitution ( which includes contacting family members of the deceased and possibly being on death row ) and one day follows Yeshua HaMashiach, then the "G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob" may have mercy on him.

Jerry Newcombe's statements aren't that surprising, but obviously he shouldn't say anything publicly about the destination of the souls of the departed; it wouldn't be surprising that even if there were "Christian victims", the truth may be their destination really isn't "heaven" given the time and place they were killed. IMHO, all of this seems like stinking bad fruit.

A very salient point.

If an atheist blockquotes a point in order to invalidate it or mock it, you can bet it struck a spot somewhere inside of him where for the briefest flash, he considered something outside of his warm comfort zone.

That said...

We all know the media is to blame. James Holmes is famous. We now know what color underwear he likes to wear. Even God knows who he is now.

Thank you, CNN. Thank you Fox News.

So God didn't know who he was before? I though you believe that God knows everything, that God knew who he will become and how he will finish.

How does an atheist quote something if its just stupid or funny?

Maybe you're right... maybe a lot of atheist aren't in their comfort zone when they hear really foolish things?

I don't believe in God.

God is to blame.

Where was God??

We don't want God in the classroom. We don't want God in the courts. We don't want God anywhere, for that matter. Not that I believe in God, but WHERE WAS YOUR GOD??

God is an evil God.

Lol.

There are millions of Gods.

This nation's founding was not grounded on theological or religous foundations, but purely secular ideology, but still- WHERE WAS GOD?

I don't believe in God. If God exists, then he is to blame. God doesn't exist. James Holmes is to blame!!

Wait. No. God is to blame, right?

Right.

James Holmes is to blame. But God, too, if he exists.

Yeah. That's right. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
