Why did the bombing at the Boston Marathon happen? Because Almighty Sovereign God allowed it to happen (Job 1:6-12; Job 2:1-6; Job 38:1-41; Job 39:1-30; Job 40: 1-24; Job 41:1-34; Psalm 50:9-11; Psalm 139:13-16; Psalm 96:10; Psalm 97:1; Psalm 99:1; Acts 4:24; 1 Timothy 6:15-16; Revelation 19:16).Why did God allow this seemingly senseless act of violence to happen? Only God knows (Job 35:7; Isaiah 40:12-14; Romans 11:33-36; 1 Corinthians 2:16).Did something bad happen to good people? No. Something bad happened to inherently sinful people, at the hands of inherently sinful people (Genesis 6:5; Jeremiah 17:9; Mark 10:18; Romans 3:10-18; Ephesians 2:1-3).Were innocent people injured and killed as a result of the bombing? Innocent before God? No. Innocent in the sense that they did nothing to the perpetrators that warranted or justified the attack against them? Yes.Since God allowed the tragedy to take place, are those who perpetrated the act responsible for what they did? Yes (Matthew 12:36; Romans 14:12; 2 Corinthians 5:10; 1 Timothy 5:24; Hebrews 4:13; Hebrews 9:27; Hebrews 10:26-31; 1 Peter 4:4-6; 1 Peter 4:17; 2 Peter 3:7; Jude 1:14-16).
The reality is that God allowed the events of April 15 to take place in Boston, for reasons known only to Him, with the perfect intent of bringing Himself glory in the event itself or in the aftermath. And no human being has the right or authority to question God about it, as a prosecuting attorney would cross examine a suspected criminal (Rom 9:20-26).
Life for the sake of life means nothing.
Christianity: The belief that we're all at the mercy of a malicious and self-aggrandising narcissist with infinite magical powers who'll happily have people killed and maimed in order to "to bring himself glory", among other things, and we're all supposed to be thankful and not at all horrified at such an o-so benevolent and just all-powerful overlord.
I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

Fucking idiot...People who think like this make me wish that there was no freedom of religion...I'd love to line people like this up against the wall and "be done with them".I'm sorry, but I'm pretty much beside myself right now.
Well, the only piece of good news this week was New Zealand on gay marriage, so this guy is probably going to tie that in somehow, if not someone else.

I don't blame you, Calvinism is likely the single most disgusting, harmful religious sect on the planet, and if this fucker ISN'T a Calvinist, I'll eat my shoes.
