Zimmerman: Shooting was 'God's Plan'

He pontificated in his latest interview.

You cant make this stuff up.

A glimpse of his defense strategy perhaps?

I think you misrepresent what he said, maybe deliberately so.

He said the event was God's plan; not the shooting

And of course, the shooting was not part of the event.

Of course it was PART of the event. It was not the whole event.

How can the event be god's plan but the shooting not be god's plan? Isn't everything god's plan anyway? At least Calvin thought so.

He is a nutjob.

You see a lot of guys like him at gun shows, usually wearing a trench coat. I call them "blade."

The main event was a young black kid buying skittles and an ice tea, after that it was cause and effect... The main event was a wanne be cop guarding the neighborhood, after that it was cause and effect...

Right. I'm sure it was God's plan for this dumbass to arm himself and then go stalk a teenager.

You have concluded that is what happened? It may not agree with the facts.

I'd have to agree with Calvin, although, Calvin would never use God's sovereignty to excuse ones behavior. He maintained that we are all responsible for our actions. Both are true.
In Zimmerman's case, it is true that the event was part of God's plan, but that can not be used as an excuse by Zimmerman. He made choices that resulted in a young man's death.

Maybe not but it is not a bad guess either given what we do know.

How can gods plan be my responsibility? My plan is my responsibility. If I am not planning anything then I am not responsible for anything.

So god gets off the hook in this deal but man doesn't. A pretty sweet deal.

Perhaps the next event in 'Gods Plan', is a very long prison sentence, not the absence of Zimmerman from society.
