If he was angry at himself and God why couldn't he just take his own life? How would he feel if someone did that to his children? Anyway how could God allow something like this to happen???

It's called "free choice." This man abused it. God did not create us as robots and He's not playing a big video game. He gave us free moral agency.

If you have faith, the answer would be, because God has a plan - I know a crappy answer. I don't like it... and I do not see how the deaths of innocent children play into his hands. Maybe it was to show us as a people that we need to care for others not just ourselves. Maybe it was to show us that we need to love our children and loved ones more - because we may never know when they are gone.
I can ask god the same question about my uncle, my grandma, Meghan... all of them - why did they deserve what they got? Why did they have to die.... I remember the day that I lost God... I was seven and it was the day that my dad's older brother died - I watched the tears roll down his face, and I watched my family fall apart... I swore to my mom I would never love God again - and I didnt until I was seventeen years old.
Never lose faith, even when you think that the plan isnt what it should be. Keep those poor little girls and their families in your prayers - no matter what kind they may be.

This man took his anger at God out on children he knew would go straight to heaven. He was angry that his preemie daughter had died many years ago. The man was very sick. God has a plan but man has the choice to act as he will. Pray for the Amish community and for the girls who are still in the hospital. The other little girls are with the angels and are not in pain any longer but pray for them so they know you will miss them and will care for their families.

Because everything happens for a reason, wither we like it or not! Maybe there job here on Earth was done! You can't just doubt God because something bad happened! Maybe he has better plans for them in a better place, like Heaven! But everything happenes for a reason! And I'm sick and tierd of people doubting God because something happened! Get over it, When it's your time, it's your time! And by the way it did happen to his child! Jesus Christ died on the cross for all our sins and yet we still have crack whores, pimp, murders, and ect. Y'all should all want to live a better Christ like Life! Be High of Life and Not Weed! Share the word of God and Clean up this Dirrty World! What's wrong with you people!? Stop blaming God for everything, like he's bad! Maybe He Needed Some More Angle's!
I LOVE GOD!!!!

God lets certin things happen for a reason and if we tried to explain why this happened we would just walk ourselves in circles. A lot of the time when stuff like this happens people pull closer together and really bond because of such horrible thing that occured. Some times people who would have never even meet met because of certin events. and through meeting those new people we are taking through several new paths that we might not have had if that "thing" hadnt have happened.

God gave us free will. He did not make this happen. He is not angry at Himself. It hurts Him when one of His children commits such a grievous act against others. Charles Roberts let the evil inside him out. He chose to act in a vile manner. He gathered his weapons, ammunition, etc. and took it to the school. God had no part in his actions. However, you can be sure that Satan did.

God - or Nature, or an intelligent designer, or an evolutionary 'big bang' process allows things to happen in the world for reasons we can't possibly understand. If there is a "God", why does He allow hurricanes, tsunamis, and all other natural disasters? If there is a "natural plan" in the universe, why does it allow war and evil despots like Saddam Hussein and George W. Bush? If there is an evolutionary 'big bang' process that allows everything to happen as one big coincidence, why does it allow for some species to become extinct while other species thrive, even though they squander Earth's resources and destroy everything that is beautiful in nature? -RKO-

This very disturbed man did not know God and I do not believe that he is going to get the chance to meet God and live eternally in His kingdom. Situations like this make one question God, but if we question endlessly we will drive ourself nuts. We must just Trust in Him and realize all thins happen for a reason.

I don't know if there is or is not a God. A person did this. Some people are sick and/or evil. This is scary. This is the third fatal school shooting spree in a week. It's not just students coming to school and shooting people anymore, it's adults. How do we stop this insanity?

Well its not gods fault. I live 10 minuets away from where this happened and my daughter babysat with them when I heard about this I went crazy. He was so nice all the time and SO calm sometimes he even paid her extra for taking such good care of the kids. And his kids were SO sweet but I felt sooo guilty when I knew that I allowed my daughter to be this mans house!!!

You'll get a lot of self-righteous Christians on here saying "It was just God's will", "It's a test", or any number of insane, stupid things. It's situations like the shooting that is helping me lose my faith in God bit by bit.
