Kids killing kids, kids killing parents, kids killing teachers and principles and people crying out that guns are at fault. You are the one wearing such glasses ignoring children being sold into sexual slavery, there are more kids in sexual slavery today than there were slaves in this country.
I presume that you have actual statistics for your assertions regarding slavery, adjusted to percentage of world population.
As for guns, easy access to them -- and particularly to the rapid-fire, large-magazine variety -- is definitely a factor in the number of gun deaths. You might want to do something about that.
Let me tell you something you heartless statistic hunting atheist, even if it was one child it would matter, the only thing that matters to you is yourself and winning an argument while these poor children are abused in unimaginable ways, and if you think I'm mad writing this you are damn right I am. You will scream about priest yet turn a blind eye to those children locked away to be the play toys of others. Yes the priest are just as bad and need to be jailed, not slapped on the hand. No gun has ever jumped up walked into a school and killed anyone, it takes the sick mind of someone to take the gun and us it for something it was never intended for. Guns are no more accessible today than when I was a kid and there were not hardly anything like it is today. So let's see the gun availability is the same then as now yet more are dying now, so what does that leave and yes when I was a kid I had semi-automatics in my hands, I was taught to be responsible so that even an accident wouldn't be likely. With the down fall of morals, parents being absent from teaching their kids to be responsible people, the games that are allowed into the hands of kids at such early ages are just a few of the things that have caused this country to suffer such tragedies and the families of these kids what horrors they suffer. Yes you are right I'm damn mad, try and find a heart. By the way there are plenty of stats for you to drool and relish over, so go ahead and satisfy that craving.

I will never give up on this planet and its residents.
You haven't even begun to help this world but I can tell you this what will be will be and it 's the small victories that can be accomplished to help others. I'm not sitting around waiting for the coming of Christ and The Bible tells us not to do so, we are to be and we are working to help those that we can, whether you believe it or not doesn't really matter or change the fact the Christian Church does more for people than any other organization or country in the world. You are right though sitting on the hands is sinful.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
