I can't reply to this post because @5solas blocked me for pointing out that he regularly complains about what he believes God has ordained.
Calvinism teaches that she is fully responsible and she showed all to well that nobody is good but God. But if God only permits it in your view (do I have that right?), does that mean it's not part of His plan? Is God incapable or unwilling to prevent that murder?

Yes, many calvinists believe God ordained her to do it, but your question implies that foreknowledge = foreordination. God can know a thing is going to happen without causing that thing to happen.

Paul Ehrlich, whose Population Bomb book was commissioned by the Sierra Club's executive director in 1967, called for denying food aid to India to leave families to risk starvation along with this nonsense. The anti-growth "environmentalist" mindset is a highway to monstrousness
Paul Ehrlich in 1970: "The FCC should see to it that large families are always treated in negative light on television." If that doesn't work, then the government should "legislate the size of the family" and "throw you in jail if you have too many" kids.

So much of what’s going on is simply adults living out their sexual fetishes in front of children and inviting them to join in. Parents, you’re not being inclusive by takings your children to watch grown men shake their butts in your children’s faces. You’re creating a victim.

The very worst thing about mad opinions is that they shut men's eyes to mad events.
