The Atheist Perspective: The Florida School Board Shooting and God

Someone from the other threads suggested I visit over here. I guess this is a more appropriate place to share this article I penned about God's role in the Florida school board shooting

http://thesop.org/story/20101215/the-atheist-perspective-the-florida-school-board-shooting-and-god.html

Tell me what you think!

1. I like it, but don't know that commentary on the incident is really necessary.

3. "an atheist with an opinion just isn`t accepted in this nation yet"

You don't think that sounds just a bit melodramatic?

5. No.

Not at all. I don't see how that could be labeled as melodramatic.

11. Husfelt's comments made me think of this lol

Jules: This was Divine Intervention! You know what "divine intervention" is?
Vincent: Yeah, I think so. That means God came down from Heaven and stopped the bullets.
Jules: Yeah, man, that's what it means. That's exactly what it means! God came down from Heaven and stopped the bullets.
Vincent: I think we should be going now.
Jules: Don't do that! Don't you fucking do that! Don't blow this shit off! What just happened was a fucking miracle!
Vincent: Chill the fuck out, Jules, this shit happens.
Jules: Wrong! Wrong, this shit doesn't just happen.
Vincent: Do you wanna continue this theological discussion in the car, or at the jailhouse with the cops?
Jules: We should be fuckin' dead now, my friend! We just witnessed a miracle, and I want you to fucking acknowledge it!
Vincent: Okay man, it was a miracle, can we leave now?
