Praise God there were not more people effected

If he's to be praised for not letting more people be affected, I have to wonder why he couldn't keep all people from being affected.

[Just kidding. I know exactly why.]

You do?

Yes.

The mystery only arises when you have to consider how an omnipotent being could save most people from an explosion, but not all people. If that being doesn't exist, neither does the mystery.

He DID save most people from the explosion.
It was a human who made the bomb. NOT God.

He Exists it is because of the fall sin entered the world.

If that's so, then what stopped him from saving everyone?

What do you mean? I tell you what PM me simply because I do not want to derail the thread.

Back to the topic, 2 more bombs were found, one location undisclosed, the other at a hotel on Boylston Street. Officials believe this was a larger coordinated attack.

I mean you're granting that an omnipotent being is able to save most people from being affected by an explosion. If that's the case, then what stopped this omnipotent being from keeping all people unaffected?

Done.

so that would almost certainly mean that other people were in on it. Does the death and injury count still stand?

RIP to the dead and praying for the other 98 who are injured...

I hope they find the sub humans who did this....

Anyway massive respect to the people who ran in to help/move the barriers almost immediately after the explosion. I dont know if I'd be brave enough for that.

I also read that some runners who had crossed the finish line kept running to the hospital to donate blood. Whether it's true or not is anyone's guess, but it sounds good anyway.

I'd like to think I'd be brave enough, but I'm not sure.

Vylo · Apr 15, 2013

So far injury count is the same. One of the slain was an 8 year old child .

psalms 91 · Apr 15, 2013

agreed and prayer is definitely needed

Someone above mentioned an IED bomb. Not trying to raise a false flag here, but aren't those made in Iran?

Vylo · Apr 15, 2013

IED is simply Improvised Explosive Device, aka crude bomb. Those have been made for ages, and were common in vietnam, just under a different name.

Reports are that the bombs were very crude with low power explosives. A highly crowded area is quite vulnerable though. If they had possessed C4 or something similar, the body count could have been massive.

sniperelite7 · Apr 15, 2013

An ied stands for improvised explosive device. Basically, its a bomb made out of anything. You don't need an artillery shell to make one. My dad was in navy eod for 30 years. When he saw the explosions, at least the closer one in the most prominent video, he suspected it was a home made pipe bomb of some sort.

Vylo · Apr 15, 2013

To give you an idea, a woman roughly 30 feet from the blast came out relatively uninjured. You had to be very close and probably struck by shrapnel to end up seriously injured.

Update on numbers:

2 dead
17 critical condition
25 serious condition
130 + injured.

Here's hoping that's the highest these numbers ever go.

I Eat Pie · Apr 15, 2013

Oh....

PreachersWife2004 · Apr 15, 2013

I've seen a few non-mainstream reports that there was supposedly some bomb squad drill also being held today and that there were bomb-sniffing dogs all over the place, etc. It rings of conspiracy but I'm taking everything under consideration and examining it. Has anyone else seen those reports?
