The Florida School Shooting was yesterday. And, here is this nutjob spreading the gospel, or whatever you want to call it.
I've never said all religious people are ignorant or stupid; though it doesn't hurt. Sadly too few ever take a look at their religion. That is, use a little logic, common sense, and reason to see if it makes sense.
Most of us who have strong beliefs, religion or otherwise, often use confirmation bias to get us through any doubt that may occasionally pop up. Afterall, we have a lot invested and most of us want to keep believing.
Now, let's think about what this guy had to say. God allowed this shooting to happen because there is no prayer in school.
OK, so old God was looking down, saw the event about to happen, could have stopped it but didn't. And, you would pray to a God who would allow all of those students and teachers to be murdered because your so-called God was miffed because folks weren't praying to him? Using that logic, why doesn't old God unleash killers at all schools? Well, other than the Christian schools.
OK, to sum up. If a group is not praying, God get's pissed and kills them. Perfect.
OK, Mr. Smart guy religious weirdo, why have we had so many people murdered who were in churches praying? Was God asleep, drunk, or maybe cavorting with the angels?
Or, heaven forbid, could we maybe consider that there isn't a God?
I've wasted enough time here. Here's a link to the article.
Good post, George...
