[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. The way they show forgiveness is amazing and inspiring.[b] It's an example of God's love.[/b] [/quote]

People always like to credit "god" with the good, and never the bad. If the HUMAN forgiveness is an "example of God's love," why isn't the shooting an example of God's hatred and bloodlust?[/quote]

Because God is good and God is love.    God shows himself in good things and is supporting these people during this awful time.  They are filled with faith and are leaning on God, and he is giving them strength. [/quote]

In other words, people are kidding themselves.  God is clearly not all powerful and worthy of adoration if he can't stop evil -- or watches it happen -- and then takes credit for the human goodness afterwards.

They have a good reason for the self-deception -- they are in terrible distress and are grasping for some kind of comfort. And the whole society encourages  belief in magic.[/quote]

Ok, so what's it to you? Let them believe.  The original question was if the shooting in Charleston had weakened anyone's faith.  The answers so far seem to be a resounding "no!"[/quote]
