Answer 1

school shootings have more to do with lack of parents than lack of god

Answer 2

i won't be able to say what human beings recommend, you will might desire to ask them what they recommend. it would desire to be that all human beings potential something diverse, in reality. although, in reality that practise began as religious, in each and every way of life. The clergymen have been usually the only literate ones. arithmetic and astronomy have been very lots in touch approximately gaining awareness of nature's (God's, or the gods') rules, case in point. track, poetry, philosophy, etc additionally had a good (yet not unique) emphasis on faith and God. interior the West, universities, from Oxford, Cambridge, Sorbonne, to anyplace else, have been all religious, tied in to the church. (and that they have got been Catholic, on suited of that, because of the fact those nonetheless-best universities all predated Protestantism.) interior the U. S., training grew to become into provided by utilising the church homes first, not government. So, i won't say for particular what maximum persons recommend by utilising "we've taken god out of colleges", although that's actually actual.

All these horrible crimes mean that people have lost the fear of consequences to their actions. They don't care. Kids in school have absolutely no fear of their teachers punishing them in any way. Criminals have no fear of the justice system because they are getting very lenient with sentencing. Child molesters getting off with probation or the case is dropped because a translator hasn't been found in time (even though one wasn't needed!). Not as many people have the fear of God in them. It's hard to be afraid of something you don't believe in. And some parents are neglecting their children. These school shooters were in desperate need of help and they weren't given any. So the result is society has gone to Hell!

God Bless.

Answer 4

Logic and reasoning escape you.

Saying that a school or a church is shot up because god has been removed is like saying that the bridge in Minnesota collapsed because I decided to be a financial planner instead of a bridge engineer.

We can try all we want, but God still exists in churches and in schools (and in bakeries and on top of mountains and at cross-walks).

Answer 5

Shootings did not happen because of removal of god. They happened because parents are doing a terrible job keeping watch over thier children.

Nothing to do with religeon at all.

Answer 6

School shootings are because s h it happens. Same with church shootings and anything else.

For you religious fanatics out there, god removed himself by letting bad things happen to good people. And don't try to tell me that's a test because that is a cop-out answer that really means, "I don't know the answer, so let me feed you this crap. Since I'm dumb enough to believe it, maybe you are too."

Sorry, kids. I'm more of a fan of rationality than blind faith and brainwashing.

Answer 7

The beauty of humanity is that we are all able to make our own choices. God gave us this gift- free will. It is up to us how we use it. He wants us to use it to honor Him, but unfortunately not everyone comes to that conclusion. None of this happened because God was taken out of schools, this happened because those individuals made extremely poor choices.

Answer 8

that presumption(removed God from our schools) is ridiculous
you don't see kids shooting each other in France
people really should stop blaming it on God/lack of God and concentrate on the way they have been raised and their mental illnesses

Answer 9

I remember hearing about that on the news yesterday...

I guess the best explanation would be...

It was God's will.

After all...what did God do to prevent a shooting in his church? Nothing....

Answer 10

Jesus has been removed from many churches. Why do you think God said that judgment begins at the house of God.

Answer 11

No.

Did God make a man shoot people in a church? No, Satan did.

And the reason why people state that having God in our schools would reduce shootings is because God is a positive influence; nowhere in the Bible does God encourage humans to do harm to one another... In fact, one of the Ten Commandments is "Thou shalt not Kill." God helps prevent shootings and violence of any kind... Does he stop it? No, because he gave us all the gift of free will...
