May God use this tragedy to draw people to repentance and redemption. What a sad story.
No. A thousand time no.

God, if there be one, should lead people to stop killing each other. Fie on Christian self-aggrandizement.

Nice of you to tell God what he should do. It's like a convicted criminal telling the judge that he should stop criminals from being criminals.

Are you now MehGuy?
No.
I don't have to be to understand the context of his answer.
And since after all this time he doesn't appear to wish to answer for himself, it's subject to interpretation. It's a public board. :)

The point is we are told: "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends."

What a sexist.

I hope somehow I am misunderstanding a well intentioned post and that you aren't seriously trolling in a thread where a young man gave his life to save others...

What about his three word initial reply could possibly be construed as well intentioned?
