Thank you. I'm Catholic and also believe this.

Didn't that pissy Old Testament God actually cause all the tragic shit in the old testament? Do you realize how crazy you sound?

There are students in a school in FCPS that have no idea what are the Ten Commandments. This school has over 80% passing rate in the sols and 90% in History and Science classes...

Should teacher have guns to protect the students?

If teachers had guns, I'm betting there would be more school shootings.

FYI: God is Everywhere. God is omnipresent. You can no sooner remove God from a school than fly to the moon. Those schools are filled with the children of God—teachers and students entrusted into each other’s care to grow and learn and be free. God is in every act of grace that happens between student and teacher, at every lunch table where the anxious and sad kids look nervously around for a friend. God is sitting beside the lonely kid on the buddy bench.
Right now, God is weeping in our schools at the sins of our people. God’s arms are wrapped around those 17 babies and their parents. God is lying on the ground, shot dead in a classroom in a pool of blood. Everyone of those children contained a piece of God. Pieces of God were murdered that day, and every day.
I can tell you where God is not present. God is not present in bullets used to kill God’s perfect creations. Those weapons are idols, craven images, used for destruction. God creates. God recreates. God doesn’t destroy. Want God back in schools? Just look toward the doors that open when the buses let the swarm of vulnerable and beautiful souls off to go about their day. God never left. Want to enact God’s revolutionary love? Stop the killing of innocents. It’s up to us.

And more wife killings and passion killings and suicides amongst teachers, of course. That is what happens to those we give guns, it seems.

Bringing back primitive superstition would undoubtedly result in more violence. This is the nature of religion. Not to mention that it's illegal.

If you want your child to receive a religious education, send them to a religious school. Religion does not belong in the classroom. I am religious, but I grew up in a very strict denomination which I left as soon as I had a chance, and I absolutely DO NOT think that any type of religious instruction belongs in public schools. If you want to pray, no one controls your thoughts. So far, no one has invented a way to read minds. You're still free to pray constantly if you want. You can even go around muttering under your breath, although you may receive some strange looks.

The Wild West was actually minuscule murder rate. Well armed Christianity is extremely polite. Collectivists , communists and socialists have murdered 200 million the last century.


People can regulate themselves better than the busybodies.

+1 and parents need to step up and parent and monitor their kids. The last shooting this kid had serious mental health issues. He was living with a friend's family who allowed him to keep a gun in the house and didn't monitor it or him.

If there was a God, in my mind, these things wouldn't be happening.

Whose God do you bring into the classroom?

If these kids are taught God at home and church, which many of them are, then if it wasn't effective, the only reason to bring it to the classroom is for your personal gain.

So when my 16yrold was smoking pot in the basement, cutting herself, and doing God’s know what else, I called the police. They told me they couldn’t help me with her disobedience, they couldn’t help me have her go to rehab, all they could do was bring her back home to terrorise me and the younger kids. This kid was 19, a legal adult. What were his parents supposed to do ?

His parents died.

He was living with friends. He got expelled. He was studying for his GED. He was reported to the FBI.

Here is the rub: because taking away guns from private citizens is illegal, this happened. Without his AR-15, he couldn't have killed. Maybe he could have met someone to help him lead a better life. A second chance at happiness.

But I assure you, it's not a lack of God. Lot's of people with God use God to justify death. The Crusades, WWI, WWII (on Hitler's side, so he said), etc....

It's not God that needs to be placed in our classrooms. And let's be clear, if God was so great, he obviously wants this cluster-EFF of mass killings to happen, as he is all knowing and powerful. You have to have faith in that.

If you don't, if you think for one moment that no just god would allow this to happen-- let's be clear: there is no god and these mass killings are example of this.

Voice of reason!

My god is everywhere. OP must believe God is weak if she thinks legislation can keep him from a classroom.
