'If it wasn't for God, where she was struck at, it would have been fatal,"

Well I'll be.

This headline is better than I originally thought. +1

Henry Rollins shot someone?

I was sitting at the breakfast table with my roommate reading the morning paper when she asked very inquisitively, "what part of the body is the fracas?". I said huh? She said she was reading a story about a riot and about how a girl was injured in the fracas. After I stopped laughing and explained she realized she hadn't yet had enough coffee.

i lol'd...

eventually.

ignite ice: God is constantly working in the world, showing us He is there, and people still deny it. Miracles are happening all around us. Would you really go up to this family and tell them that God wasn't there that day, watching over them? I have several friends who have been witnesses to extraordinary acts that defy explanation, and I tell them all that God is there with them always. One woman I said this to had tears in her eyes, she couldn't believe it, that God is there looking after her from above, because she had never known such love in her life. She opened her eyes, and she let a light she had never seen before come in. She is a testament to miracles, just as this girl is.

So survive some tragedy by a seemingly random fluke of chance and it's a miracle which shows god is looking out for you on a personal level. Die in a terrible tragedy and, well that's just plain ol' bad luck.

If god has a plan for each of and every one of us then his plan to have 16000 children die of hunger each and every day sucks ass. But hey, when I survived that motorcycle accident last year it's because god loves me and blessed me with a miracle and I'm part of his important plan. Maybe those 16000 children should stop being so poor and brown and be awesome like me and god will throw a few miracles their way too.

If god wants to impress me with miracles he can stop with putting his kid's pictures on common everyday objects and other events of random chance and make with the heavenly farking manna falling from the skies to feed the starving. He starts delivering miracles like that and then I'll be impressed.

Good catch, subby.

She was just a chargin' her lazer.

ignite ice: God is constantly working in the world, ...miracles, just as this girl is.

Yeah, and he's a doing a bang up job! It farking pisses me off when I hear people spew this ignorant shiat, God was working when the girl didn't die from being shot, but he was behind the wood pile jacking off when the actual bullets were being fired? It is always a "miracle" when a team of highly trained competent doctors and nurses struggle to save a life, that's God's work. When the bad thing happened to the poor bastard, God was no where in sight. Hey, if you want to show a miracle, have God pop up and Matrix the bullets BEFORE they hit the little girl.

It's called free will and does not invalidate the belief that God had some responsibility for the little girls survival.

It is always a "miracle" when a team of highly trained competent doctors and nurses struggle to save a life, that's God's work.

Believers tend to give credit to God for having a hand in helping to create that team of competent doctors and nurses. From inspiration in developing medical technology to inspirations throughout each of those persons lives that lead them to be at that place, at that time.

When the bad thing happened to the poor bastard, God was no where in sight. Hey, if you want to show a miracle, have God pop up and Matrix the bullets BEFORE they hit the little girl.

To build a fire to warm yourself in winter, you need to burn some wood. I doubt the wood understands why it's being torched, but if after surviving a cold night, you later end up planting far more tree's than were harmed in your fire, was it not a worthy sacrifice of the initial wood? Believing that God is here to make our lives nothing but fluff and comfort completely miss the point, imho. The idea of believing in a "Gods Plan" presupposes you understand the fact that we will never truly understand it. That's how believers get comfort from the belief.

All that being said +1 for the headline!

Police to Shooter of 12-Year-Old: "We're Going To Stop You"

Since when have the MPD had a TARDIS?

OW, MY GOD!

"I don't know if these stoned coward nitwits thought they were going to shoot a 12-year-old girl, if they thought they were intimidating a family from testifying... I don't know what they thought. But enough is enough," said Flynn.

What makes him think they were stoned?

... Flynn was one of them! It's an inside job!

Stay classy, gangbangers.

/thinks we should round up a posse of ITG's and head to Milwaukee.

Have Milwaukee cops improved on their competence since they farked up the Dahmer case, or is the kid going to be shot a few more times until the cops snap out of it?

KvanCetre: You forgot to mention: Where was God when her cousin was getting shot during the armed robbery?

He was the wheelman.

So does she have a god shaped hole now? Giggity.
