If so why Texas allows guns in Churches? It does not look like they have much faith in prayers over there.

Liberals love nothing more than mocking and belittling things they don’t understand. They’re basically schoolyard bullies, but dumber.

Could it be said that God is mocking all those who pray to stop these mass shootings and yet still allows a classroom of children to be shot to death.

I don't think the Democrats will have a problem from their donors. Republicans....a whole different story.

Assuming there was a god he would be angry and watchful and make many more of these happen.

But since that is not the case, HUMAN will allow many more of these to happen.

If there was every a turning point in the USA when things went from bad to hopeless, it was the "OK, that's just part of life" acceptance of Newtown and Parkland and Las Vegas......any nation that lets its children be slaughtered is very sick.

It's safe to say just that one thing puts us FAR down the list of civilized and advanced countries.

Most Americans wouldn't care if there were 10 million guns or 50 million. BUT, they should care more that the marketing, culture, and 300 Million guns..and their pols (GOP) have said it's just well and fine for children to be killed in bulk.

I'd say we have reached "Peak Sickness" - although we can always get sicker.

What you say isn't wrong.

I live in a Buddhist majority country. By majority it is about 90% of the native population. My friend is a psychologist, also an ex-pat like I am. He is also profoundly liberal although he claims that he is only progressive...

He never misses an opportunity to make fun of Buddhists, their beliefs or their ceremonies. He hates all religions . His wife like mine is a devout Buddhist. They do their weekend Temple runs. I normally stay home, but my friend always goes. He then comes back and mocks the entire event.

I asked him why he married a devout Buddhist if he has such a problem with it?

Further evidence of his psychosis is that he is a devout Patriots fan. At least in his defense he is consistent. He condemns Muslims and Christians equally, unlike many on this forum whom seem to think that Muslims should be a protected class.

God has nothing to do with any of it.

It could be said that in the majority of cases of actual mass shooters. Meaning the kind that plotted and planned their crimes, not the drunk at the party and started shooting type.

Most of these mass shooters that planned their event then carried it out, had enablers.
People who knew that something was wrong but did nothing. That includes the damned shrinks. Parents who watched little Johnny exhibit all the warning signs and yet made excuses for him. Co-workers who were at some level afraid of Johnny, but didn't say anything.

It really isn't a lot different than inner-city mentality that it's better to live with thugs than cooperate with the police. The none of my business mentality..... Yeah the none of my business types sure have a lot to say after the fact.
