But you are a bit late with pointing this out.

Quote:Conservative writer: God was ‘answering prayers’ of Texas victims by letting them get shot
Quote:Hans Fiene, a Lutheran pastor who is also a regular contributor to the right-wing website The Federalist, has written a new column in which he explains that allowing 26 people to die at the hands of a crazed gunman at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, this weekend was actually God’s way of answering their prayers.
The article on rawstory.com didn't talk about being closer to God, by approaching God's kill count, but it is still very sickening.
If the article both talked about rapture, and the gunman trying to reach God's kill count, then it would be a fully valid article, because this would then explain why theists love Gods even when Gods are said to kill billions of people/wipe out entire planet species, only saving a few to torture later.
So when there's a mass shooting in USA or bombing in elsewhere, or soldiers gunning each other down, I say "there goes another set of murderers trying to get closer to God".
