(CNN) – Where was God in Aurora?
It’s a fresh take on an age-old question: Why does God allow suffering,
natural disasters or – if you believe in it – evil?
We put the question to Twitter on Tuesday and got some starkly different
responses.
“In short, God was in complete control, exercising His will,” wrote @
PastorRileyF, who leads a church in Bethune, Colorado.
That riled @TheTrivia Jockey, who tweeted, “If that was God's will, God is
definitely not deserving of my worship.”
@trentpayne also took issue with the Colorado pastor: "I'm going to
respectfully disagree with you Pastor. God gives free will to man, but it
wasn't his will that they die."
The back-and-forth provoked other believers to chime in on the theological
issue of God’s sovereignty vs. human free will, with many Christians
seeking to explain how a sovereign God could preside over seemingly
senseless bloodshed.
“It is not God's will or want that people died in Aurora,” wrote @
GospelBluesman 20m. "God allowed man's inhumanity to man, rather than
intervene.”
The conversation and debate continued in the comments section of this post,
with some insinuating that the massacre might be a kind of divine punishment
, or at lease divine neglect:
Lenny
"We as a country have been telling God to go away. We told him to get off
our currency, get out of our schools, get out of our Pledge of Allegiance,
take your Ten Commandments out of our courthouses, get those Bibles out of
hotels and no graduation ceremonies in our churches. How can we expect God
to give us his blessing and his protection if we demand that he leave us
alone?"
Jesse R
"Liberals have made it impossible for God to be anywhere during the
upbringing of a child. Can't have any religious connotations in schools,
libraries, government offices, etc., etc. Young men (and women) are growing
up with no real sense of right and wrong. ... We no longer have the right of
religion, but rather the right from religion. Parents no longer have the
ability to discipline their children. We are always looking for the excuses
... violent video games and movies, bad teachers and schools ... when we
should be looking in the mirror. We as a society are the reasons these
massacres happen. We have allowed our children to become social misfits that
lead to the kind of carnage we have seen on several occasions since
religion and God disappeared from what the Founding Fathers once said was a
necessity of a successful democracy ... faith."
Lots of readers used religious takes on the shooting to challenge the whole
idea of God:
Who invited me?
"How do you know the people that were killed didn't go to hell?, and how
exactly does any of this show there is a reason? Reason is obviously
something that you have replaced with belief, and you threw out logic with
it."
Kyle
"God doesn't exist, so he wasn't anywhere. Get over it. A man was evil, and
he was evil because he was crazy."
Plenty of others said the shooting was the devil's work:
Harleyxx
"Evil things like this happen because Satan is the god of this world ... for
the time being. God will undo all the damage caused by Satan's rebellion
and man's disobedience when the time is right. In the meantime we all
experience trials and tribulation due to living in an ungodly world. That is
why Jesus taught his followers the Lord's Prayer ... 'to pray for God's
kingdom to come.' "
What’s your take? Where was God in the Aurora massacre? Or do you feel that
such tragedies are evidence for a godless universe?
Let us know in comments, and we’ll highlight the best ones. | l**********t

发帖数: 4968 | 4 My only question is why human always asks for some answers they don't
deserve to know.
For example, we keep asking "why let me die?";
while no one (or few) asked "why I was born?" | s******l

因为很多人都知道这个问题的答案啊！
如果你不明白，我给你解释一下：某一天你爹妈忽然有了情欲，然后性交了，然后你爹
射了，你爹的精子和你妈的卵子相遇了，然后你妈怀孕了。过了十个月，you were
born。
现在你明白了吗？
