God is not powerless to stop the killing of his followers.  He does it
all the time.  However, when the time comes that someone's work on
earth is done, the wicked are allowed to do what they want to do.
Notice that the wicked tried to kill Jesus Christ several times during
his life,. but were unable to do it until he had accomplished the
Atonement in the Garden of Gethsemane.  Then they were able to crucify
him.  His work on earth was finished.
=============================
Harry Potter is not powerless to stop the killing of his followers.  He does 
it
all the time.  However, when the time comes that someone's work on
earth is done, the wicked are allowed to do what they want to do.
Notice that the wicked tried to kill Harry Potter several times during
his life,. but were unable to do it until he had accomplished the
broomstick flying at Hogwarts. Then they were able to put a spell on him.
His magic was finished.

Smiler,
The godless one
