CNN Host: 'Is it time for us to challenge God? Why did He do it?'
Transcript:
BANFIELD: "I want to bring up Bryan Fischer. Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association, said these words. And I'm going to quote him word for word, you may have to read it twice. "You know the question's gonna come up, where was God? I thought God cared about the little children, God protected the little children. Where was God
when all this went down? And here's the bottom line: God is not gonna go where he's not wanted... We've kicked God out of our public school system. And I think God would say, 'Hey I'll be glad to protect your children, but you've gotta invite me back into your world first. I'm not gonna go where I'm not wanted. I am a gentleman.' God is a gentleman, and thus, will not save twenty children until we invite him back into the public school system? How can people get away with this kind of thing?"
BOTEACH: "Well, because we allowed them to. The fact is, that is the ultimate statement of heresy. This is not a religious man."
BANFIELD: "The man is with the American Family Association."
BOTEACH: "Just because someone claims they're religious, doesn't mean they are. Let's be clear, not only is he wrong that we kicked God of our lives, the United States, the American people, are the most righteous people in the world. We expend endless blood and treasure to defend complete strangers, women from being beaten up by the Taliban. Our soldiers die for those people. God is on our money. We give more charity than any nation on earth. We deserve better. I'm tired of people maligning the American people saying 'We deserve to suffer, we've kicked God out.' This is the most religious country in the world."
BANFIELD: "Then... why did God do it? Is it time for us to challenge God? Why did he do it?"
BOTEACH: "Good question. You know what actually, that's the thing. Let me say I gave you the most brilliant, eloquent response and I explained why 20 kids had to be shot multiple times by a high-powered assault rifle. would you suddenly say to me, 'That explains it.' No, the tragedy would still be there. We don't want an explanation. We want it not to happen. We don't want God as our comforter, we want God as our protector. He's supposed to protect us. We have to have a new approach to religion in this country where we are not just cosmic... that always surrender in silence and submission to God's will. We have the right to challenge God's will. That's real religion."
BANFIELD: "And we challenged this before, after Columbine, after 9/11, after Virginia Tech, after Aurora, and we never get any satisfaction."
BOTEACH: "Well, we have to be in a partnership with God, he has to do his role, and we can't let him off the hook, and we have to do our role."

Transcript:
Thom Hartmann!! Thom Hartmann!!: "The gun folks are out there saying guns don't, you know, guns don't kill people, people kill people. I would say, OK, guns don't kill people, inequality kills people. Why is it that the United States has this horrible problem? We are one of the most unequal countries in the world. And we didn't so much have this problem when we were less unequal, in the '50s, '60s, '70s."
