Former Governor Mike Huckabee and American Family Association Staffer Brian Fischer: The horrifying tragedy in Newtown, CT is unsurprising because of "the lack of prayer and religion in schools". As Fischer put it, "God doesn't go where he's not wanted."
Another way to read these statements is, "Our God, the source of our moral values, is willing to massacre innocent babies to punish adults, and he's right to do so." God is, after all, supposedly perfect in all aspects, so if this happened, it must be per the plan.
If there's a way to understand Huckabee and Fischer's statements other than that these two men being willing apologists for a murderous, immature, petty, tyrannical, possibly insane God, I don't know what it is.
Finally, when they add "Our prayers are with the families" are they praying to the same deity they believe to be responsible?
