    Be carefull, the prince of darkness, God's adversary, is still on the scene.

    I wonder why all his evil works are written on God's record by the anti-God squad ?
    It's all about understanding what a Stackelberg leader is.

    If God is a rational being, then given his "omni" characteristics, he knows how every being makes decisions in the face of external stimuli and has the power to influence these stimuli at will. From this it is a simple, albeit rather long, proof to show that God chose things exactly as they are.

    Thus, he is clearly responsible.

    I fail to see your conclusion in the linked essay. Can you elaborate?

    This is ridiculous, and you know it: God caused Columbine.

    Xtians, if you wish ...[text shortened]... estament to god's existence, rather it's an example of the benefits of religious mind-control.
    And do you know why God allowed this, and did not stop this?

    -Because He is no longer allowed in the public schools.

    There is a difference between causing something to happen and allowing something to happen.

    Read the story of Job and you'll have a pretty good idea what I mean.

    If God is not allowed in the public schools do you really think he will make an effort to intervene?

    You are not allowed to mention the name of God in a public school. Prayer has also been removed. In essence God has been removed from the public schools, meanig He is not 'allowed' in public schools. Strangely enough public schools are only allowed to promote a single religion. "Secular Humanism" is now the established religion in American public schools.

    There's absolutely nothing to prevent school children from praying in private. Besides I had thought people visited God in Church not school.

    The school I attended had prayers, hymns, religious education etc but that did nothing to prevent most of us from becoming godless heathens. Interestingly enough the theory of evolution was not even covered in science class.

    God does not stay in a building of stone.

    That sure was in the good old days in SA. Things have changed. I hope you realise that I was refering to American schools.

    No, I thought Columbine was a dorp in the Free State, where Jesus was born.

    So, as long as you let other people poison your beloved child, but don't do it yourself, then you are absolved of all moral responsibility for the poisoning?
