People pray and sing hymns for the murdered children from December 14th. It's sad and also ironic that two of America's mightiest idols are god and guns.
We need to look to ourselves for answers. We're adults. There's no parent in the sky.
In any case, what good is religion when it doesn’t stand for an all-encompassing compassion, the most basic of ethical values? Faith certainly doesn't spare our innocents from harm.
And it’s time to stop defending gun ownership for the 'sport' of hunting. How is sneaking around in the woods with a gun looking for unsuspecting animals to murder even a sport, let alone a right? Our biggest obstacles to having a kinder, safer world are the serial killers in our forests. The ugly truth about guns is only discussed in relation to our own safety, and only when our own are killed.
If we want our children to grow up to be good and decent people, or to grow up at all, we need to eradicate guns and and the 'sport' of killing from our culture, along with the idea that belief in god is necessarily righteous.
