It is so much more a shame to preach social change through governmental legislation that never works and only makes things more restrictive, more impersonal, and more manipulative. Everyone preaches something. Some promote themselves or their political party. Some promote their own agenda. Some want to shut off what others have to say and have nothing to offer. I feel that God is the very best solution and it is now a matter of listening to what He has to say.

Perhaps it would be easier to hear God if so many people were not telling us what they think he means and drowning God out in the cacophony.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

I feel most people who read the Bible are in full agreement as to what God has to say on this matter.

Is your god so petty that he allows children to die out of spite?
Or so impotent that he can't enter a school where they don't open the day with payer?
Were none of the teachers or children praying, did none have him on their hearts?
Did he run out of bears?
You are crass nipper, and your god bloodthirsty like Baal.
What do you think of ABORTION? Do you blame God for the 6 million murdered babies, or did God tell society such an act is ok? A life is a life isn't it? Or is life only what you deem it to be? God didn't murder, Satan murders and presents excuses for it. And yes, God has every right to destroy any society that murders babies. This is why He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and displaced the Cananites. Their depravity reeked to the high heaven. He treated them as they treated the innocent.

If you mean that most people agree with you, I think you are very wrong.

The Westboro people "feel" the same way.
"Any over-ritualized religion since the dawn of time can make its priests say yes, we know, it is rotten, and hard luck, but just do as we say, keep at the ritual, stick it out, give us your money and you'll end up with the angels in heaven for evermore."

I believe most people who actually let the scripture say what it says, and read it honestly as it is written will not say that homosexuality is ok, or that abortion is ok, or that government needs to exclude God. It does say God created the world in 6 days, a worldwide Flood happened, and the Messiah has come. Those who do not see this as exactly what the Bible has to say, are not reading it as much as they are making excuses for what they wish it to say.

My gut tells me tha this has little to do with what happened at the school, and more to do with their opinion of homosexuality. Maybe your actually on the wrong side of the fence you claim to be sitting on.
