She actually makes a good amount of sense to me.  I often wonder if we, as a society, are focusing on the wrong things and forgetting about what really matters.  [/quote]

Wow. I have never needed to worship Jesus or any other false deity in order to have morals or be a good person. 9/11 didn't happen because God isn't 'allowed' in schools or other public settings and people who think like that are ignorant af. [/quote]

These are the same idiots who want to blame school shootings on taking god out of schools[/quote]

I don't send my children to school for bible study anymore than you do but people have gotten wacky about keeping God out of school to the point where they are no longer saying The Pledge of Allegiance at school because it contains the word God.

I can't make other people go to church or believe in God.  Heck, I rarely go to church these days myself. But I find it bizarre how vehemently some people oppose any mention of God in our schools or any other public place.  If somebody dares sing "God Bless America" some people look like they've been scalded by holy water.  The outright contempt....

Sorry, it's weird and unsettling.  And, yes, I do think that bad things happen when people start forgetting the lessons of the bible -whether or not you take them literally or figuratively.

My kids attend a religious private school. They pray every day. They say the pledge. They also practice what to do if a shooter comes in to the building. Because every sane person knows that God isn’t going to stop that psycho with an automatic weapon looking to kill innocent kids and adults.

Disgusting that people twist religion like that. [/quote]

I don't think that she is saying that God is going to stop shooters from killing people.  I think what she's saying is that if these shooters had been raised to know God maybe they would never have gone into their HS to shoot it up.

Guns have been around for a long time.  But these school shootings are fairly recent.  What about our society has gone so terribly wrong?[/quote]

Learn the sad history of mass shootings.  The first “school” shooter was Charles Whitman at the University of Texas in 1966.

The numbers of people killed goes up if you add in domestic disputes and gang violence.

Can't read The Post but I'm aware that school shooting happened well before now.  But what we are seeing now is just unreal. When I was a kid in school we never worried about a school shooting.  It just wasn't even on my radar.  Now?  The kids are doing school shooter drills.  What has changed?

What has changed is even more guns and easier access to them.[/quote]
