Upon accepting the first, we can go ahead and ask other questions which are based on that answer, such as "whether what we perceive is reality" or "does something other than reality (god) also exists".
While using god as an axiomatic and self-evident concept, while simultaneously failing to justify its inclusion in such, clearly puts you in the wrong here.
So lets start there. I like that. How do you know that what you perceive is reality???
I know because God has made me in his image and given me a brain that can reason logically like he does and senses that can be trusted.
James Holmes acted consistent with what evolution teaches. He evolved from an animal, and when he murdered those people, He acted like one. You can't say he's wrong since evolution made him that way.
