No one bothered to tell him we need some bulletproof vests down here?

The guns they used yesterday penetrated bulletproof vests. What we need mostly is for people to love one another rather than shoot each other.

Gawd didn't promise shit. Hell, he doesn't even bother to make an appearance when a natural disaster strikes. 

Quote:When I pray I ask, for myself and others, that he would be with us and that we would get through any situation well.

Prayer is nothing more than a person's zero-assed attempt to "do something". It's lazy and unproductive. 

Quote:By the way, if everyone followed Christ's teachings, these things wouldn't be happening.  

Show me one shred of evidence to the truth of this. 

Quote:Back in the days when we did pray in school, school shootings weren't happening.  These things are happening more frequently as we continue to draw away from faith and prayer.

You still have the right to pray in school. No one ever took that right away. Government staff aka school employees just aren't allowed to enforce that prayer on people who don't want to do it. 

If your god is so awesome and powerful then instead of watching "his people" die of horrible things, he could, you know, being all powerful and everything, just make sure none of the bad stuff happens. However, because he's imaginary, he has failed time and time again to stop it. What's that saying? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Only in a christer's mind do they think that love will stop the violence. 

How about coming back to reality.

Hilarious! I guess you have to conveniently forget that the entire purpose of Christ's supposed redemptive power is to eternally overcome our inability to live according to his teachings in this world due to the fact that we are all born sinners, and as many like to frequently point out, incapable of following Christ's teachings.

I'm pretty sure at this point you're confusing Jesus Christ with John Lennon.

If everyone followed Christs's teachings what would cause them to kill a bunch of people?

A good question to ask the Holy Inquisition.
