students killed last week a lot of relief. But: talking about the Bible might offend someone. I guess they get so upset and offended they can't study, have to go home and have a good cry. Know what I say? Then get offended. Buy a box of Klenex. Live with it.

Well I think if people will stop and look at the difference between schools when the bible was allowed and now. Then they would stop tiring to blame the bible. Everyone needs to start looking at what is being taught at home. For it starts there plain and simple. The government removes the bible and violence starts up. Government removes the right to correct or punish a child and they run over the parents and everyone Else. If the bible was placed back in school and taken serious , then everyone would learn to love, (truly) and show some respect to each other. So like I said at the front don't blame the bible, for it's not the bible it's the people.

Dear like a r,
First let me say that i'm a pastor and i'm the first to support allowing people to carry Bibles in school, and not cool with kids having guns. That being said, i don't think that it is neither kind nor prudent to blame what happened last week at VA Tech on people who opposed having Bibles in school. The person who committed the crime was obviously a very disturbed individual and even if Bibles were allowed in school, it doesn't mean that the particular individual would have been influenced by it.
i think its a very insensitive statement that you are making similar to those who said that 9/11 was God's judgement- it's not. Many people were deeply hurt, and i was thankful that many churches had prayer meetings and prayed for those who were hurt and trying to cope with the aftermath of such a tragedy. While i support and personally appreciate the value of the Bible i think the important thing about the Bible is not only reading it but living by it- and i think you've failed to show that in the way that you've commented: "Buy a box of Klenex and Live with it."
People need compassion, love, and kindness in the light of the event. Not to be blamed. Many families suffered and the individual who caused this whole event - in many ways suffered and as a result his family has deeply suffered. i think that a lesson we can all take away from this is that people matter i think the Bible teaches that clearly!!!
Kindly,
Nickster

"a lot of relief????" What the hell does that mean?? That they are relieved that an insane student killed their children with a gun instead of with a Bible? Get a brain and a heart!!
I doubt any of those students went home to be with their family because they were offended that the insane killer talked about Jesus. I think they went home becuase the university was closed for a week so they police could do their investigation, so they could be with their family and grieve for the lose of their friends and schoolmates, to talk about it and how it could have been them, to be at some of the funerals and to mourn the lose of many lives. These students and teachers have brains and hearts, unlike you, I see.
You sound like you are on a rant. Do you need professional mental help? Do you carry a gun or a Bible? I hope not a gun. If you don't carry a Bible, that's fine with me. That won't hurt me. It's the other that hurts (& kills) others.
Put yourself at a family reunion with 60 relatives of all ages. Newborns to 90 yr old grandpa. Sunny day, food, laughs, pictures, games for the kids. Then an insane gunman walks in and starts to shot at everyone & kills himself. In the end, you lose half of your relatives. And it was your grandpa that refused to let anyone to bring a Bible to the reunion, to talk about God, to even say grace before eating. Would you just buy a box of Kleenex and live with it?
Or you spend time with your remaining relatives grieving, talking about it, attending the funerals, spend more time talking about it and eventually when you felt ready, go back to work or school and try to move on?

It sucks that its the truth. The Bible should have never been outlawed... the students should of had a choice to deny God or believe! Crazy that many students/kids know how to shoot a gun, yet many could care less if the Bible was allowed or not.

Neither a gun nor a bible is going to help get them through that calculus homework. There's a time to go shooting holes in bibles and a time to focus on the homework.

Sterling is right. We should give every kid, in every school in America a gun to take to school. And while we're at it, we should give everyone who flies on an airplane that same right. Wouldn't that make you feel better and the world safer?

Bibles will do much good against guns. The killer actually made reference to Jesus in his manifesto. Although if the students would have been armed with guns then the count would have been much less.

Well, I don't know what your trying to say, but Bibles and guns have absolutely no place in schools, and that's the way it will stay.

you say outlawed like a kid can't have them in their locker--they can, they can still pray, personally I think my son's religious upbringing is MY responsibility--as well as my right--should I send him to a Catholic school or baptists academy when I am neither baptist nor catholic, just because they preach in class?--they "outlawed" preaching in class when it became a problem, and they outlawed guns when they became a problem, get over it
