Where was God?

As our country is mourning the loss of twenty kindergarten children who were so tragically gunned downed and killed in their classroom, the question has come up "Where was God?" One of the most ignorant things I think I have ever heard came out of the mouth of Bryan Fischer from the American Family Association:

"Where was God when all this went down? Here's the bottom line: God is not gonna go where he is not wanted school... We've kicked God out of our public school system, and I think God would say, "Hey, I'll be glad to protect your children, but you've gotta invite me back into your world first; I'm not gonna go where I'm not wanted, I'm a gentleman."

This quote broke my heart to hear. I. believe God has never left me behind during any tragedy I have been through, and he did not leave that school because a mad young man chose to take the lives of innocent children. We are here on earth to prove ourselves worthy of living with him again, we were all given agency to choose right from wrong when we came to this earth to live. If that agency were taken away every time a tragedy was about to happen, there would be no growth or learning on our part. There would be no progression. LIVE, LEARN, AND GROW

Yes, I believe in miracles, and they happen every day, and yes, I believe our Heavenly Father can prevent tragedies. More than likely, He has done this more times than we know. However, to comment that God is too much of a gentleman to prevent those children from being killed is ignorant.  God is not a proud man; he is meek and humble. Sadly, some Americans have decided to take God out of our school system, but those are just words removed from an allegiance we made as a country. No one can take God out of our hearts. We feel and know of his love for us, all his children, he will never leave us.  These should be taught in our homes, not in a school.
