...I will tell you what is better. It would be better to have saved the gunman earlier and to have had no one die. Death is nothing if you have eternal life, and life is nothing if you're already dead. But when a person starts killing people... Load the handguns with rubber bullets. Just don't shoot him in the eye. Or, just have faith and tell the gun to stop working. Not trying to be funny at all, I am completely serious.

Sure, like someone who is shooting will gladly turn over his gun so it can be loaded with rubber bullets.
Who is going to volunteer for that job? "Excuse me, but I'll need your gun for a few minutes. I need to put some rubber bullets in it."
People were trying to get him help before the massacre. His disturbance was very evident to some of his professors.
I'm sure they are full of regret, despite all they did to try to help him, that they couldn't stop him.
And what now, all Christians are suddenly The Sphinx ?
If faith can move mountains, can it also move bullets?

I do wish kids would stop trying to prove they're Neo.
...I will tell you what is better. It would be better to have saved the gunman earlier and to have had no one die. Cho was a Christian.
I don't even understand what the next part means.
Rhetorickety, I've got an idea. Point that gun at your head, ask God to make the gun not work, and squeeze the trigger. What, too chicken to prove your faith?
Or, just have faith and tell the gun to stop working.
You don't think that anyone there was praying for exactly that??
Hey guys. I just wanted to say, God bless you all. Really. Really really really. I do believe that if a person has a mustard seed worth of faith, they can tell fig trees to be uprooted and planted in the sea, and that that fig tree would obey them. Mustard seeds are very small, by the way, and yet they grow into very large plants. I said this so you would be able to understand the parable better. The fact that mustard seeds grow into very large plants may or may not have anything to do with the parable. I said this so you would not misunderstand what I was trying to do. I was trying to provide enough information to give you an accurate account of what exactly was said by Jesus. Personally, I think that Jesus may very well have had a purpose in comparing a small amount of faith to a mustard seed, a very small if not the smallest of all seeds, but to what extent the comparison was used, I cannot say, nor can I say that He used mustard seed for any special reason at all. If I knew more about faith, I am sure I could tell you. But the results of faith are great. Like, if you have faith in Jesus, you have eternal life. I don't mean having faith that he was just a guy who existed, I mean having faith that He is the Son of God who died for your sins; that His sacrifice atoned for the evil of mankind and that He was raised from the dead, and ascended into heaven. I know words like heaven seem foolish to you, but that may be due in part to how little we know about it, save that it is glorious. None of you have known that kind of glory, to the best of my knowledge. Oh, yes, I almost forgot... This guy is dumb.

1. Most people here either are Christians, or have been at one point in their lives and would be familiar with the parable of the mustard seed.
2. It's not so much the parable that's foolish, so much as the ridiculous suggestion that you can cause handguns to jam by wishing real hard at them. There's a word for people who think this way: delusional.

I refuse to believe people can be this stupid.
Confused?
