Why the Texas shooting is not evil, based on the bible

Ever since I was little, I have wondered, with the message of "this world is horrible, sin is everywhere, it's just a test and if we pass we'll get to go to heaven for eternity" - 
why there aren't more xtian suicides.  Oh, but you have to pass the test first, suicide is a sin.  But I have met so many fundies who are focused ONLY on being holy enough
to get to heaven, and I have a lot of personal experience with people who will do anything . . . deny science, deny education, destroy their own children . . . to be HOLY ENOUGH.

Apparently the babies and toddlers got a pass from the "test".  Apparently getting murdered by a violent, angry gunman gives you a pass.  (And a nasty atheist murderer at that!)
Now, most of the xtians I know are kind, educated folks.  But I had a moment where I pictured a lineup of ignorant, holier-than-thou, racist, misogynistic, homophobic creationist
funditards (think Westboro) with a gunman doing them the ultimate glorious favor and sending them right to their god.  

I wouldn't, really, I wouldn't.  But geez, so many of these folks pray to die . . . or pray for the Rapture -- reminds me of all of those great cartoons after one of the predicted Rapture dates passed --

aw dammit what do you mean they're still here??  Man we were planning a party . . .

And that led Andrea Yates and others to where, exactly?
