My, my. I apparently hit a nerve. Some lunatic blows away a couple dozen kids and its the fault of Christians?

Oh, and your Nazi friends were not Christian, but they were National Socialists.

The original point was that the shooting was related to not having God in school. I pointed out that being God fearing (here I interpret Christian) has no correlation to murder rates. Next the post was that atheists have killed so many millions. I then pointed out that Christians also killed so many millions. Just like atheists won’t claim Stalin or Mao, you are within your rights to not claim Hitler (even though his was a “Christian” nation full of Catholics and Protestants who saw no issue with rounding up Jews). Of course you can self select a group that has never done anything wrong eventually.

The point remains that this shooting has not been proven to be related to lack of established Christianity in the schools (by the way Christianity is a personal decision for students and a significant number are Christian many of whom pray and read their Bibles in school - both perfectly legal in our country. My daughters both do in their school). They even have Christian rallies on the track field.
I am particularly offended by any Christian who states a link between something like this tragedy and lack of established Christianity in schools. I am not saying it is the fault of Christians. I am a Christian.
