"It could have been a monumental tragedy," Bay District Schools Superintendent Bill Husfelt said. "God was standing in front of me and I will go to my grave believing that."


no offense to those who have faith but why the fuck did God save this idiot but not save these two angels or the countless other innocent children murdered very year?

4. Why call the superintendent an idiot?
Anybody who's just dodged a bullet--whether actual or metaphorical--tries to make some sense out of it.

He didn't seem all that weird to me when I saw him on TV. And he's not hurting anyone else by believing this. Why waste your ire on him rather than condemning the shooter, or the father and girlfriend who apparently murdered the children? Strange set of priorities you're showing here!

6. Because god is selective in handing out his grace, and sparing the lives of these
school board members could well cost a professional football player his game-winning touchdown.

The flip side of the saying "There but by the grace of god go I" is "there by the grace of god goes that poor SOB."

7. my ire is not directed at him...it's the concept that God gives a fuck
about him yet ignores other tragedies

give it some thought and a light might come on

16. Ta-da! It's the self-centered belief that one is so important to the scheme
of the universe that god singles them out for his special grace while ignoring the needs and pleas of billions of others.
