I remember that one. It made me stop being militant about the 1st ammendment and support hate speech laws.

By his own words he said they were friendly to him and welcomed him.

No god to blame. The shooter is sick and nothing could have stopped them. We live in times when the unthinkable becomes ordinary.

I hope that isn't the only reason. They're are plenty of more good reasons not to believe beside suffering in a world made by a so called benevolent and omnipotent god. With these results you'd expect that god is either malevolent or does not exist. Freewill also cannot exist if god is omniscient. OH and don't forget lack of good or reliable evidence.

God works in mysterious ways, like when he doesn't work at all

Once I stoped believing in god what's the point wasting time in religions. Once you made it home... you don't keep walking, that's how you get lost.

Don't forget the crusades, inquisitions, conquest of the americas. How many Native Americans died from european diseases before they could be forced to become catholic. And don't forget the latest school shooting that took place on ash wednesday. How many of those children died begging for god to protect them?

I stopped believing when I just had an awakening one day in my late 40s that none of it made sense. The whole God thing was insanity.

In the same place that all gods have always residing. Strictly in people's minds.

Which shooting?
