For somebody who actually cared, at least. [/B]
Yes, we should mourn the ppl first. As with everything, there is a time and a place to do things. Kinda like going to a guy who died from gang violence and then shouting "and you can blame this on his gangbanger lifestyle!" being the wrong time to discuss the implications of gang violence.
The fact that you do not know this is very indicative of your level of maturity.
Excuse me? You understand that the Catholic faith have made leaps and bounds in being inclusive of the LGBT community thru the decades right? You're not suddenly condemning us like we don't understand the importance of love, kindness and tolerance? I mean what's your point? You DO know that we KNOW prejudice = bad, right? And that we weren't raised in the 1700s and that the VAST majority of us are actually aware of the social changes happening around us? Because if you don't know this, you are then spewing drivel out of woefully ignorance.
And you also know that it is not simply one's religion but one's culture/the type parenting/political ideology/genetic inclinations/personality/psychology/etc that guides one's actions and that tragedies like this tend to be caused by a complex and volatile mix of those factors. Yes, religion is an "easy" justification. But maybe we should think about the possibility that ppl who do evil and violent things would look for any reason at all to justify the vile and evil things they do? Rather than just simply getting one thing we hate and putting all our blame on it?
You know, because that is what bigots do.
