And that's why I'm not fond of people twisting the Bible to meet their definition of God. I will say this much about it though. Did God know it would happen? Yes, that's why he's omnipotent. Was he going to stop it? No, we have free will.
That website is right about one thing. Perhaps if he had some God in his life, he wouldn't have done this. Maybe he did have God in his life and sought to eliminate what he saw as sinners. Lord knows I've seen enough lying, cheating, and stealing in my lifetime (I'm only 32) that I want to completely stop interacting with people outside of my circle of friends. That's another story though.
Anyway, here's what I came in to post originally. From wnd.com:
"The shooter was "wearing a vest covered in clips was just unloading on their door, going from classroom to classroom ... they said it never seemed like it was going to stop and there was just blood all over," Harrison said.
The shooter had two handguns and several clips of ammunition, according to NBC News. Flinchum confirmed an earlier report that the shooter chained the doors of a classroom to make it almost impossible for the students to escape. "
So it looks like he had plenty of ammo. Also:
"A note found in Cho's dorm room railed against "rich kids," "debauchery" and "deceitful charlatans" on campus."
What he really needed was some time to tune everything out. I personally have had instances where I was sick of humanity and wished the world would end tomorrow. It's mostly with politicians, but I know of other people who are just as sickening or make horrible decisions throughout their life. The point is that this kid pretty much just snapped and took a bunch of people out. To say that God wanted them dead is to twist the Bible. To say that God knew they would die is much more accurate. That, however, does nothing about the situation.
