It’s interesting...FReepers have offered many explanations for why this massacre occurred, what mistakes our society has made that permitted this to happen, what bad decisions brought about such dire consequences.

But let someone suggest that sin is the root of the problem and even Christians trip over one another in their rush to disown such an idea.

Is gay 'marriage' the sin that is the root of the problem? Do you agree that "God Sent the Shooter"?

[stuartcr]

You do mean the actual sin of murder as commited by the shooter, don’t you?...not sin in general as commited by mankind, that would not make sense.

[EEGator]

It’s because that idea is foolish. There are insane people in this world, the shooter is one.

I brought it up but no one was interested! I said:

Let’s start informing said students that it is not just against the law to murder people - it’s a SIN as well!

Let’s put the fear of God into them.

[jboot]

Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.

Many Americans and most young Americans believe that it is ignorant and foolish to consider the spiritual consequences of one's actions. They laugh and say that we should not fear the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Then they go back to doing whatever seems right in their own eyes.

It isn't surprising that blood flows in our streets.

Sin is at the root of ALL of the problems in the world. As far as this specific instance -- the shooter's sin, certainly. But I would lay the blame more squarely on kicking Jesus out of the school house, originally.

I have a real problem thinking you are serious.
