God is in charge of the world.

He decides who gets raped, he decides who gets murdered, he decides who dies from a horrible disease.
As true Christians, it is about time you started thanking God for it all.
Everything is done in His name.

Any moment now some dickhead will be along talking about devils, and free will, and omnipresence and omniscience and other philosophical blather that doesn't mean squat.

Christians often say "School shootings wouldn't happen if they didn't take prayer out of school."
Apparently they took prayer out of church I guess. Who'd have known? Guess God isn't welcome anywhere anymore.

Yup, I loved school. I always did well in class, hardly ever got into trouble, got to see my friends, etc.

The 'prayer out of school' thing is so dumb. Why does prayer need to be led by an adult? What's stopping a student from praying at lunch? Recess? Study hall?
I mean, I know it's a dog whistle for "We're not indoctrinating our youth in the one true religion in public schools, and as a result bad things are happening! It has nothing to do with poverty, or anything else real!" But it bugs me because there's literally 0 thought behind it.
