Why do you think there are so many school shootings now as opposed to say 25 to 30 years ago? We all know that guns can’t shoot themselves, so obviously that is not the problem in my opinion. I honestly believe that there is a direct correlation between the rise of school shootings and the taking of God out of the classroom, and kids not getting a well deserved a** whooping. Thoughts on this?

I think it is because Right Wing America has been radicalized and it has caused a huge surge in gun possession in an environment where gun possession laws are too lax. The only other countries with comparable levels of gun violence are countries riddled with terrorists/cartels/etc.

There are many factors influencing this issue. My personal belief is that one of the main reasons it is the God out of school thing. There are many schools curriculums that teach based on theories and not on hard evidence. Mainly in science the subject that claims beliefs on hard evidence, except some unproven theories of the beginning of the universe, where the man comes from but reject religion or witchcraft or ghosts. For the most part, witchcraft and ghost don't really teach us good values. However, Christianity the beliefs on which this country was founded, does teach us great values and morals. Don't go by what other humans, Christian humans have taught us but what Jesus has taught us. You cant go wrong even if everything is a lie and you cannot go to heaven through Jesus, you'll be a greater person. In the end, you finish school and decided that you don't like the way this country was founded and don't like to live like a true Christian that is ok don't torture yourself there are 190 + countries out there I hear in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea they are atheist move there.

#1. This country wasn't founded on "Christian beliefs". King George's theocracy was on of the primary motivators for keeping religion out of government when drafting legislation for this government, as were the frequent flaunting of bigotry and downright hostility between Puritans and Quakers, creating a divisiveness in this country that was very unappreciated, and unhelpful.

The primary motivators were Enlightenment focus on secular concepts of human rights (Voltaire, Hobbes "natural man", etc.) and stripping the church of power.

This is , literally, what civil rights in this country are founded upon, and are in no way, shape, or form, based on the Bible.

In fact, they were formed in spite of it.

#2. It's interesting how people try to mention the DPRK as an "atheist country", but leave out the countries with the lowest crime, and highest happiness index in the world, like most Scandinavian countries which are (*gasp*!) secular.

#3. Jesus told slaves to obey their masters.
This is repugnant, and I admonish every slave to disobey their masters, and fight for their freedom.


I am sincerely hoping you do not provide leadership through the lens of your religion, and instead strictly adhere to the Army standard. It would be fairly stressful to be a Buddhist, Wiccan, Sikh, Muslim, Atheist, etc., under a leader who literally thinks this country is founded on, or in any way informed by "Biblical morality".

Parents today do not discipline their children, they do not set rules and make the children abide by them. Both of my son's were raised around guns. Neither one of them ever shot anybody. One son is 45 now, the other one would be 41 but he passed in 2013

We take God out of schools along with the Ten Commandments which prohibit murder. We teach kids that there are no absolutes - no right or wrong, just do what feels right to you. We teach kids about deviant sex at early ages and teach them that abortion is an easy way out. We teach kids the Founding Fathers are just Old, Dead White Dudes and replace them with minor historic figures. We tell kids not to tell their parents stuff and to report things parents do wrong. We teach kids to be sensitive, offended, and want protections afforded by a large government. The very people raising a ruckus about bullying are the biggest bullies. All of this is the carefully cultivated product of the National Education Association, a far Left union organization, and far left teachers. Many of the good, God-fearing teachers have been frightened into being quiet.
We whouldn't wonder why school shootings are up.....We should be asking why we have gotten off so lightly with school murders.

I am sure you can blame anyone if you accept the story we are told. We are not informed. Idiot savants enter schools got everything they aim at. Better than a trained soldier. One even blender in and evacuated with the victims. This is an organized domestic terrorist attack. Homeland security only monitors domestic travel. Or play psycologist and blame it all on mommy.

I agree with the fact that children are being catered to the instant gratification and not taught to have patience and respect for others. Which came when God was in our schools. You take that out and you take away discipline, you want fair. The world isn't fair. You WORK your way up. You overcome obstacles by not letting something stop you. Even if you change what you want to do that fits WHO you are. It takes time to figure it out. This liberal agenda of jumping on a hateful bandwagon of excuses kills the spirit of human GROWTH. All of that is wrong. Don't blame a car for a dwi, don't blame a gun for a shooter, blame a society that wants stupid slaves to work cheap. Blame Democrats for pushing the cheap labor agenda. Blame big biznez greed for bribing our corrupt Congress to do all this. But don't kill the American worker for wanting fair pay by letting greed kill what is trying to do to go back to slavery. Other countries and companies have given fair pay, fair insurance, and are thriving when greed is killing a once great nation.
