God Did Not Protect Connecticut Shooting Victims Because Prayer Banned In Schools

[Elesjei]

I've seen the "god wasn't wanted so he didn't save them" claim being repeated all over the internet, and it disgusts me. How can anyone believe that? The kids would have died if the school was the full of pious students and run by the Pope himself. When has god ever saved anyone? Where was he during the holocaust? Where was he when a hurricane battered the southern coast of America and killed a few thousand people? And anyway god wasn't kicked out of school. Kids and teachers are free to pray, they just can't mandate it in class. Did the kids die because prayer was optional? A bunch of irrational, offensive statements about how the deaths were the result of a lack of faith...

I thought it was restricted to a few crazies on television, but religious people keep repeating it on forums all over the internet.

It scares me how people can be so ignorant and hateful.
