The problem lies deeper than gun rights or the 1st Amendment rights to freedom of speech. It is a Heart Problem. We have taken God and His Son Jesus Christ out of schools...
Couldn’t disagree more,
You have the ability to disagree.. now, what are your facts that support what you are disagreeing with? If it is a disbelief that there is an Almighty God, well, thats just not convincing. I Know there Is.

You ask for facts, yet what facts do you use to back up the opinion you hold that you ' know ' there is a god . .
You believe there is a god perhaps, but where is the proof. And as for god being the one to provide an answer or salvation in this shooting thing, how many fukcing butters have killed how many other fukcing butters ( as well as the occasional couple of dozen/ hundred/ thousand/million innocent bystanders) and blame it on the will/testament/ bidding of some almighty being or other?
Even the Buddhists are knocking off Muslims now in the name of the prophets and they're supposed to be the good guys who won't even kill an insect but get their godly blood up and they'll hack a few Rohinga's into the next life no problem
Opinions are like Arseholes Spotty, everyone has one...
Wars have always been fought upon some premise of religion or hatred that was stirred up by those who want power, or wealth, mostly both, and it is a HUMAN condition. That's not God. And, as you state even Buddhist monks aren't immune to this condition... they can and will succumb to their humanity.
You see, Spotty, all humanity has a common denominator, and that is sin. Sin is nothing more than rebellion against an Almighty God. I am aware of how many wars have been fought in the name of whatever god they have believed in. At one time, there were people sacrificing their children to molech, or ashtaroth, or whatever statue they would heat up and then burn their children with. It is a humanity problem in which there is No Earthly Answer. Back in the history of the Hebrew nation, it states that every man did what was right in his own eyes... well, when you filter what is right through your eyes, it becomes a skewed world. That's what we have today.
I know there is a God, as He shows me every day His Creation. Where did all this come from? Certainly not Aliens lol... nor was it a thing of 'chance'. All we see every day, is taken for granted, and not really examined closely. If we did, His hand would be seen very well. There is such a delicate balance in this world for life to even exist on our planet. The odds of this just happening by 'chance' are staggering. All creation testifies of His Existence. Now, I understand there is a great many people that do not believe there is an Almighty God... that's ok, as He believes in them. You see, because we all suffer from the same ailment (sin, the rebellion), there is only one cure. That is what He gave the world. It wasn't me that gave it, but I can tell you about it. If you think that God is wrong for only offering One Way to be right with Him, that's something you can take up with Him when you meet Him one day...
Blame... we want to blame someone or another for what we see as this condition. Well, there is someone to blame, he has been around for a long, long time, he's a man of wealth and fame... ask Mick Jagger who he is. He wrote a song about him. In our country, and perhaps yours too, we have taken God out of schools. We replaced him with a sense that everything we do is 'ok', its just little Johhny's way so it can't be wrong... we give children a sense of entitlement, when they are entitled to nothing. Their morals are corrupted by those who want to take their innocence and give them a future full of despair. There IS no hope in this world that comes from this world. I see the steady decay of society, and people think it is going to be ok. It isn't ok, and won't be until One man returns. Then He will make everything ok. Well, this is my last posting here, I told Dave I wouldn't continue this, but I have answered your question, Spotty. Good day, sir. And God bless you
