Quote:A teenager who killed two people and wounded four others in a shooting at a small-town New Mexico library had a troubled past but appeared to have turned his life around after joining a local church and accepting Jesus, his pastor said Tuesday.
Sixteen-year-old Nathaniel Jouett had been baptized this summer and was helping the church raise money to send teen members to youth camp just days before he opened fire Monday afternoon at the Clovis-Carver Public Library, Pastor David Stevens said in a telephone interview.
Jouett, a sophomore at Clovis high school, had been suspended from school for two days for fighting at the time of the shooting, Stevens said.
“Before Christ came into his heart, he was just crying, broken,” said Stevens of the Living Word Church of God in Clovis.
And now he's a double murderer. Good work, "jesus."
Crime or illness. On a planet of 7 billion knowing our species age is far older than any written religion, claiming that a deity favored your survival or forgave you is absurd knowing that on average 50 to 60 million humans die per year of all ages from everything.
A fictional being does NOT prevent disease or prevent you from harming others. And what does this say about such a claimed being, call them Allah or Yahweh or Jesus, for it's advocates to peddle such utopias as a cure all for humanity but have a horrible record on delivery in reality.
Allah and Yahweh and Jesus all sat and watched and did nothing during the Holocaust. They did nothing when we bombed Pearl Harbor. They did nothing when we bombed Hiroshma and Nagasaki. They did nothing to save the family of the Iraqi who threw his shoe at Bush Jr. It seems to me that if any one of these Gods exist, none of them care about world peace but peace through submission. I think the more realistic and real fact is that none of them exist, and humans stupidly fight over fiction.
