State of our Nation...
Food for thought, with the recent Virginia Tech Tragedy, and the 10 year aniversary of the Columbine shooting.... why are our kids doing these things now?

You may or may not agree, but at least watch it all, then post your comment.
I saw "The Day They Kicked God Out of Our Schools." and stopped watching.
There was no mandatory teaching of God in my school, no gun crime there. Stupid thing to suggest, Sith.
"Our" children? We all know what we feel is right and wrong, just because it doesn't coincide with Christians' blinkered view of the sort, doesn't mean we don't know.

No. Violence has been on the Earth for as long as humans have lived. These shootings maybe tragic, but they are pale when compared to the mass murder waged upon the Earth by the Christian Church.
Very True, if we were talking about world history.
We aren't.
I'm talking about the United States, particularly the last century or so, where we've gone from kids in one room school houses to kids killing in school houses.
The last century of apparent "progress" and "change" that should be making our world better, fair, and more accepting of all types of human expression.
edit: @ AC if you didn't even watch it, then don't bother comenting.

OK US history. What about all the Blacks that where lynched in the early part of the 20th century, in the south? Or the men killed in trying to unionize the coal minds?

I did watch it in the end, out of sheer curiousity. My post remains the same.
When will you accept that not everyone needs, or wants, God? If he even exists. What about doing that is so hard for you? Honestly. Why can't you just stand back, live your life (And just yours.) as you wish, and let others live theirs?

Originally posted by Alpha CentauriWell just turn on the news now a days and you'll see a more violent society than ever before. Better yet look up criminal justice statistics involving violence, and you will see that it is on the rise. Or just take a look at our own government's failed war over sea..
Have you seen all the violence on TV lately? Me too.Why aren't we out killing people then? Bearing in mind it's not cos we have God in our lives, as I don't. I'm agnostic.

Originally posted by FacemanYeah because in the middle ages where everyone was religious or dead, there was no violence. Weren't there? Oh except for the violence at church, classrooms, the unending invasions and prisonments.

Oh and how about this, the US has a higher ratio of religious people than the UK, yet there are more deaths in the US. Surely according to the video that should be false right? But it's not. Religion causes violence, not the abscence of religion. Nor does abortion and contraception. 😐
