After the horrific shoot in Newtown, CT, it’s not surprising that the ring wing loonies started to spout their mantra that to stop these killings from happening again is to have more guns, especially in schools.
Then of course those good Christian folks like Mike Huckabee, James Dobson and others are on their pulpits now saying that the reason things like this happen is because kids aren’t praying in schools. Maybe Adam Lanza did some praying as he shot his way into the Sandy Hook Elementary School.
It’s been said that if you could reason with religious people, their would be no religious people. Take Mike Huckabee’s reason for the shooting. He said -
“We ask why there is violence in our schools but we have systematically removed God from our schools. Should we be so surprised that schools would become a place of carnage? Because we've made it a place where we don't want to talk about eternity, life, what responsibility means, accountability -- that we're not just going to have be accountable to the police if they catch us, but one day we stand before, you know, a holy God in judgment. If we don't believe that, then we don't fear that. And so I sometimes, when people say, why did God let it happen. You know, God wasn't armed. He didn't go to the school. But God will be there in the form of a lot people with hugs and with therapy and a whole lot of ways in which I think he will be involved in the aftermath. Maybe we ought to let him in on the front end and we wouldn't have to call him to show up when it's all said and done at the back end.”
Did you understand any of that? Why does God seem to get a free pass on things like this? It seems that God can’t go into a school unless he’s invited. Sound like an impotent God to me.
And James Dobson does his usual rant about gay marriage and abortion as part of the reason for the shoot in Newtown. Read his drivel here.
Yeah, those gays and that abortion thing is the cause of people grabbing assault style guns and shooting people. Pray tell what’s the connection between homosexuality and guns?
Adam Lanza was sick in what he did but those who use the public airways to spout such insanity as this are just as sick as Lanza. Think about it.
