Why did God let this happen?

Yes we are, Nestor. To some it's God. To some it's not. But it is definitely something in our hearts and souls that keep us from caring about other people here on this planet.
Yes. I am wrong to speak my mind since it is not in complete agreement with you and Phil, huh, Julie. That is the opinion you have always espoused here. If someone doesn't agree with you you insult them as unkindly as you can. That's how I see you, Julie. Very sad picture indeed. Today, of all days, we should all come together in whatever way we can. Old Gaffer expressed his disagreement with me in solemn and respectful terms. I didn't expect that of you but it would have been a nice change. My best to you, Julie and I hope you never suffer what the people in Connecticut suffered today.

I disagree, Jen.
We do care. All of us.
But we can't stop the occasional nut basket who has a desire to 'make his mark' on the world.
All the 'God' in the world won't stop the crazies from being crazy.

Those children are safe in God's arms today. It is we who are mourning and to be mourned. We have lost our souls.

I just don't think most people have a hankering to slaughter innocent people if they miss church a lot.

To whatever extent this may've been about a "lost soul(s)", we'd be remiss thinking in terms of the shooter's lost soul as it relates to his victims and ultimate acts. We COULD focus thusly, but it probably wouldn't get us anywhere useful. It'd probably make more sense to focus on the extent to which our broader society - or his more proximate society - might've better applied THEIR souls, in order to've forestalled this incident.

I'm not sure what you mean here, but I don't have a gun, I've never had a gun and I don't ever plan to have one so gun laws are actually inconsequential to me. I am a Constitutionalist, but beyond that, I don't care.

Jen, this sounds very much like what Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson said after 9/11....that God had withdrawn His protective Hand from America, because we 'tolerate' lesbians and evolutionists and the like. Europe is far more secular than America these days, and yet they do not have anywhere near our frequency of such horrendous incidents. Why do you think that is? If your theory that this has happened because "we took God out of our schools" was remotely correct, you should expect a school shooting like this virtually every day in Europe.
