Fischer: God would stop school shootings if students prayed first

Religious-Right loon Bryan Fischer has a new spin on the “thoughts and prayers” people (especially NRA-bought politicians) like to offer in lieu of anything substantive:

Hey, here's an idea: why don't we pray in schools BEFORE these shootings happen instead of waiting until we have dead students? Why does somebody have to die before even start talking about prayer? This is the 19th school shooting this year. What do we have to lose?

Wait a minute. I thought God was all-seeing and all-knowing. Shouldn’t he already know that students don’t want to get shot up in their classrooms without them having to tell him? Unless … is Fischer implying that God isn’t actually omnipotent or omniscient, or that he’s so desperate for praise that he’ll let kids get slaughtered if they don’t show sufficient fealty to him every morning?

No matter how you slice it, God doesn’t come off looking good in this tweet, does he.
