Topic	Dad of 14 y/o Girl Killed in Florida says CHRISTIAN VALUES will STOP Shootings!

Yes, because the Christian god never allows children to be murdered, die of starvation, be molested, etc. Oh, wait. who said he wouldnt let that happen? What kind of benevolent god that is claimed to love their children (humanity) would stand by and let that kind of thing happen? This has to be the worst cookie-cutter response I keep seeing regurgitated in these debates ad nauseam. You can't have it both ways. Either the "God" would have to: 1) give you the freedom to do whatever you want (in which case you can do anything from helping people like Mother Teresa, or slaughtering children like in the Rwandan Genocide; you CHOOSE. You have FREE WILL). OR...., 2) force his will on you, removing your freedom to choose your actions. You'd have a "Nanny God" who is constantly preventing any action that ever hurts anyone (by FORCE). We're talking 100% authoritarian rule with zero tolerance for anything less than perfection. Granted, there's no murder or hurt with a "Nanny God," but you're reduced to nothing more than a holy robot forced to be perfect all the time. That's the really sad part of free will. It's a blessing and a curse at the same time. --- Money is overrated... <cite>shipwreckers posted [p:896766929] in Dad of 14 ...
