Ignorant people have always looked for the easy answers.
And people infatuated with their own sense of importance and a desire to both feed their ego and delude themselves in the process have long looked for that which elevates their own sense of intelligence, whilst fooling themselves in hopes of relieving their conscience of order and a moral code, as well as recognition that they aren’t the center of knowledge or authors of that which is good and evil, but their creator is. Moral relativism has only one purpose, and that is to fool one’s self and give man a sense of him being god. Every bit of this is tied to atheism, and man’s desire to be his own god, accountable to nobody.
Agnosticism makes sense until one encounters God, but atheism is more ignorant and self bloviating nonsense that simply does not stand up to the evidence all around you, and absolutely absurd probability that throwing talcum powder up in the air will one day net you a giraffe on the floor.
You can only trick yourself just so long.

Why didn’t god make the shooters AR15 jam after he missed Trump?
If God wanted his weapon to jam he would have had him use a Kimber .45.

Is there an easier answer than "It just is what it is. There's nothing to think about or make out of it."?

Trump is God’s chosen leader for us.

You're not ignorant when it comes to the beginning of life?
Christians believe the beginning of life (or at least the reboot) started in the mountains of Turkey. Sloths, kangaroos, koalas, rattlesnakes, polar bears, lions, walruses, grasshoppers, penguins, etc., all trotted off a wooden boat built by a 500-year-old man and his family about 4,500 years ago and scattered around the world
Ancient trees like Methuselah were not able to make the trip from California to Turkey because, ya know, roots and all, but still survived being submerged by thousands of feet of saltwater to live on to modern times.
And dinosaurs fit in there, I dunno, somewhere.
As for the actual origins of life, the fossil record shows a clear evolution from unicellular life to multicellular life. Plenty is still unknown - and heck, maybe always will be. But it is obvious that species lived in different time periods and that death existed for a hell of a long time before Man evolved to supposedly frick things up and create a "fallen world" that got God off the hook for things like birth defects and infant mortality.
Without the Garden of Eden myth, which is clearly bullshite just like Noah's Ark, the Christian religion doesn't even make sense from a theological standpoint. Man's sin needs to be the reason death exists. And if it is not, there is no justification for God allowing the horrors of this world.
But back to Trump. I am glad he escaped with only minor injuries. I don't like particularly like him but don't wish him harm. But if the assassin had put a bullet right between his eyes, I doubt anyone here would be blaming God for it.
God currently has the easiest job in all of mythology. He gets credit for all the good things that happen and none of the blame for the bad things, and He never has to show up in any perceptible form.
That's a nice gig.

Hey dumb dumb. God spared 100’s of thousands maybe more by sparing Trump. His death would’ve ignited a powder keg.
Dumb dumb, your god could have given that would-be shooter a magic heart attack to kill him before he fired any shots including the one that killed the 50-year old father. That it, if he was benevolent and if he existed.
Posted on 7/16/24 at 8:49 pm to Covingtontiger77
There’s no doubting how close it was, but if a second bullet went that close to his head when he brought his hand up, then how did his hand not get hit by that bullet?

God didn’t spare Donald Trump at the expense of an innocent husband and father. That’s fricking low iq ridiculous logic. It’s retarded.
At the time of this response, you had 17 upvotes and 111 downvotes. That’s shameful on the part of the downvoters. They see it as a miracle “god” either deflected the shooter’s bullet (interfering in his free will) or made Trump move (also interfering in free will) to direct that bullet into that innocent and young-ish father and productive member of society. They forget they claim their god is all powerful and benevolent and could have simply caused a FTF and jam of the shooter’s gun. No one had to die. They will praise their god for killing that poor firefighter. They’re downright sick and messed up in the head. Their delusions cloud their own sense of morality.

That's a more absurd explanation than "We don't know, life just began & shite"? And that's after "first there was nothing, then it exploded into everything for no reason whatsoever" to even get the material that would self-assemble into a cell.

Question: If God can do good things and spare someone's life, then does God do bad things and cause multiple deaths?
God unfortunately allows bad things to happen because we all need to be reminded that we are merely human who should strive for God's grace.
That sounds good but I, like everyone else, does not know the answer to your question

Please review the story of: Lazarus
Which one?
Luke - the story is 100% a parable. Lazarus is a beggar without any family with sores all over his body. He dies and ends up with Abraham in paradise and Abraham won’t let Lazarus give any water to the rich man in Hades who was burning in torment.
John - the story is told like it is historical. Lazarus dies and is put in a tomb for 4 days. He never meets Abraham, but his family convinces Jesus to resurrect him from the dead.
I would think that if Luke would have known of something like Lazarus being risen from the dead by Jesus, he would have inserted it into his own narrative.

God wouldn’t let someone die to prove a point or impact the world…..
Yahweh had no problem killing people to make a point or just for fun. He delights in punishing one person by killing others. Look Aaron made a golden calf and Yahweh made the Levites slaughter a bunch of Israelites and then he killed more in a plague as punishment. Nothing happened to Aaron. Look at David and Bathsheba’s baby son. Yahweh let that baby suffer for 7 days, and on the eighth day killed the baby to punish David for adultery and murder.

I’m always amazed at how the atheist try to argue by pointing to and trying to equivocate by pointing out that someone dies. And yet 100% of people die. It’s just a question of when. Donald Trump will die same as ronricks. You might say that the Lord exalts some in death, such as this fireman and father. They can belittle it, but his death meant something. God has a plan in death for one, and a plan in life for another. He has the prerogative, but no matter how he uses someone, 100% of everyone dies. It’s just that most atheists die as perennial morons.

1. What is currently expected of God? No one expects God to appear. No expects miracles anything like what we read in the Bible. It seems people only expect God to show up in favorable coincidences.
2. "We don't know" is a damn good answer in a lot of cases. It tends to inspire people to find out the truth instead of saying "Hey, I don't understand this, so I guess God did it." If there's one thing the history of science has taught us, it's that "God did it" is a horrible assumption. Not one time in history has "God did it" been proven correct. Naturalistic explanations, however, are proven correct every day.
3. The history of the Universe from the Big Bang to emergence of mankind is an immensely complicated answer that spans across many disciplines of science. The average person doesn't have the curiousity or attention span to get a decent grasp of it. It's a lot easier to just say "God did it."
No one here even wants to touch subjects like Noah's Ark and how the fossil record is totally inconsistent with the fundamental tenant of Christianity that mankind brought death into the world. That before makind fricked up that T-rexes and lions and sheep and cows all lived together in harmony. Leeches, great white sharks, and mosquitoes were all around too but preyed on nothing. And then once Adam and Eve disobeyed God, all hell broke loose.
And then everything went along for a while until the remaining species were guided to a colossal wooden ship engineered by a 500-year-old man to prepare for a global flood.
That's padded room crazy.

My only issue with that animation is the bullet is WAY past Trump's ear before we hear the gun shot. Sound travels about 1135 feet per second. That slug is traveling around 3000 feet per second.
That means the bullet took 0.1 sec to get to trump, and the sound took 0.3 sec
Does that not jive with the illustration?
Maybe you have better ears than I have.
