Mass shooting in a school? Need God. Mass shooting in a church?....

[AFTT47]

Mass shootings are horrible. When it happens in a school, theists want to talk about how we need god in the classrooms. But mass shootings happen at churches too. So what's the solution there? Obviously being a place of prayer, where the people worship god, does not prevent psychos from busting in and gunning people down. This is how you know the whole "get god back in the classroom" is just a political stunt, right? Because buildings where prayers and praise take the forefront are not magically protected, any more than any other building.

In the early days of America, churches were actually preferred targets for lightening strikes because of their steeples. They eschewed Franklin's lightning rod as heretical for controlling the "artillery of the heavens." They came around eventually.
