Children do not die because God is not in our schools. Children do not die because God is absent. God is never absent. Children die because something tragic happens. We must make sure that tragic death is not an excuse for taking God's name in vain. Claiming the absence of God's presence anywhere will perpetuate evil as much as gun violence or physical abuse or sexual abuse or poverty or sickness or neglect. Claiming the absence of God as a cause of evil will perpetuate evil because it will turn our hearts away from the real cause of evil, our own complacency and complicity. There is nothing that separates us from the Love or presence of God, not even the evil we saw happen today. To claim anything else is blasphemy.
