People need God, church and religion. The evil secular world is creating these monsters.

Oh please, religion does not stop anyone from being evil. People are always being killed in the name of a religion. In fact, the Bible and Quran both say to kill non-believers.

Name a Christian that we all know about who killed in the name of Jesus.. ill wait. Also, the Quran says to kill Jews, Christians, gays, non-believers, the Bible does not.

So this shooter didn't even attend the school? I saw footage of the response police and some had 'Gang Police" on their vests, whatever that means.

Was this gang related?

In over 30 places, the Bible says to kill non-believers.

Posting things you are completely wrong about is not smart.

I don't know. Last I heard, they haven't identified the shooter yet, so I would think if they haven't identified the shooter, it'd be hard to tell if it was gang related, or not. But...it was an inner-city high school, and St. Louis has gang problems like a lot of other cities...so who knows.

I know the Bible very well, and none of these 30 places say that. Just for reference of your source, you referenced John 3:16 in your link.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."

That’s a start but certainly not fully inclusive, and each one of those deserves at least a page all on their own.
Whatever previous comment of yours I gave a rep point to, I sure hope it was as good as this one.

I knew exactly what you meant in the original posts and pretty much all these points popped into my head. We all know them, we all have heard it.

But you also know exactly what these conversations will be branded as and where they'll end up, sadly.
