Quote:When I pray I ask, for myself and others, that he would be with us and that we would get through any situation well. Prayer is nothing more than a person's zero-assed attempt to "do something". It's lazy and unproductive. Quote:By the way, if everyone followed Christ's teachings, these things wouldn't be happening. Show me one shred of evidence to the truth of this. Quote:Back in the days when we did pray in school, school shootings weren't happening. These things are happening more frequently as we continue to draw away from faith and prayer. You still have the right to pray in school. No one ever took that right away. Government staff aka school employees just aren't allowed to enforce that prayer on people who don't want to do it. If your god is so awesome and powerful then instead of watching "his people" die of horrible things, he could, you know, being all powerful and everything, just make sure none of the bad stuff happens. However, because he's imaginary, he has failed time and time again to stop it. What's that saying? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Only in a christer's mind do they think that love will stop the violence.  How about coming back to reality. Disclaimer: I am only responsible for what I say, not what you choose to understand.

I guess you have to conveniently forget that the entire purpose of Christ's supposed redemptive power is to eternally overcome our inability to live according to his teachings in this world due to the fact that we are all born sinners, and as many like to frequently point out, incapable of following Christ's teachings.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

A good question to ask the Holy Inquisition.
