I mean it does, god wanted him to get shot twice and survive and then build a bulletproof popemobile to not get shot a third time.
God’s will is a pretty ironclad argument as long as you don’t really believe in free will, or at least believe that God is powerful enough to know how every decision will be made in spite of free will.
ahem The deity he follows says that he should turn the other cheek and not only allow it to happen again, but to happily and freely provide the opportunity. You can still call him hypocritical.
To be fair, that was advice for nonviolent resistance against the state, in a context where slapping someone’s other cheek presented social difficulties to the oppressor. In order to slap someone’s other cheek you had to use your unclean left hand, disgracing yourself by vulgar behaviour, or use a forehand slap with your right hand, which implicitly acknowledges the victim as your social equal. Turning the other cheek is a great way to fuck with the Romans.
The New Testament is full of practical advice for anarchist Jews to use against the state.
The popemobile is also bullet proof, to… erm… supplement the power of prayer.
Usually I’d call someone like that a hypocrite, but considering he took two bullets… I understand why he wouldn’t want a repeat of that experience.
Weirdly “it’s gods will” doesn’t apply in this case.

Why did god want the pope shot?
“God works in mysterious ways”
God wanted a popemobile. Q.E.D.

Quantum Erectile Dysfunction: I swear it’s hard when you’re not directly observing it.
To teach him that dignitaries on display are vulnerable to snipers
To make him holy
Probably for covering up all those pedophiles.

Why didn’t his god protect him?
Was it the kiddie fiddling?
Clearly he did, he didn’t die from those shots did he
So god called him twice and he didn’t answer.
Maybe someone prayed for it to be bullet proof and Big Papa had no say in it?
God helps those who help themselves! (In other words, he does nothing.)
Some men think they can outsmart me. Maybe. sniff Maybe. I’ve yet to meet one that can outsmart boolet.
tbf some recent-ish Pope got shot in the ribs, so it’s probably to prevent that happening again
Could just pray not to be shot. No bullet proof glass necessary. Easy peasy. Am I christianing right?
You’re definitely being insufferable right.
When a religious person sees his logic used against himself.
get fuckt
Nah, that was definitely a case of your typical Insufferable Internet Atheist.
Who said I was religious?
