As per .world worldnews mod, no discussing naughty stuff like jury nullification.
While this post is blowing up, here’s the book referenced by the shooter:

If god is omnipotent, everything that happens is a result of his judgement.
Omnipotent, omnipresent, and benevolent, yes.
Benevolent is very debatable gestures widely at genocide and children dying of cancer
Indeed.
Note that I’m not claiming anything, just pointing out the traditional philosophical parameters of what-is-or-isn’t-‘god’.
Even going by their own books calling god benevolent is a stretch
Which - oh that god. Yes. That one is particularly, um, violent.
I’m referring to the abrahamic one…. I don’t know enough about Hinduism or other religions that have gods to have an opinion on them.
It is impossible for a being to be omnipotent, omniscient, and benevolent given the amount of suffering in the world. They can only be two of the three at most:
Omnipotent + omniscient = Knows about evil, can stop it, but chooses not to.
Omnipotent + benevolent = Can do something about evil and wants to stop it, is too oblivious to on a large scale.
Omniscient + benevolent = Knows about evil and wants to stop it, is powerless to do anything significant about it.
Yeah, that’s the way most people see it.
As it happens, people don’t generally talk about it very much. For some reason.
If they’re believers it’s because god is “good” no matter what he does or allows to happen.
